True or falsetto—Hollie Cavanagh or DeAndre Brackensick will be sent packing from “American Idol” tonight? We won’t know the answer for a few more hours, but our panel of “Idol” experts has both as potential candidates for elimination.

Hollie performed “Flashdance! What a Feeling,” last night, but the judges sure weren’t feeling it, and neither were our experts who all had her in their bottom 3. Two of them expect she’ll be eliminated.

Likewise, DeAndre sang the little-known DeBarge song “I Like It” (really, with all of the songs from the ‘80s to choose from, he picks this?), an ironic choice given that he also landed in everyone’s bottom 3 and has four votes to be sent home.

After rockin’ Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” last week, Elise Testone faltered a little this week with Foreigner’s “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” Still, she should be pretty safe: Only one person pegged her as the lowest vote-getter and predicted the judges will save her.

Here are the others our psychics predict will land in the bottom 3 tonight.
