'American Idol' Top 10 poll: Who gave your favourite performance?

Nicki Minaj may have been fashionably late (or unfashionably late, depending on your point of view) to American Idol's live Top 10 performances on Wednesday (March 7), but the show must go on, and this season's fresh crop of hopefuls sang tracks previously performed by Idol alumni such as Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Scotty McCreery during the history of the long-running reality singing show.

Digital Spy invites you to name your favourite performer for the first time this season as the live shows step up a gear. Last season's finalists Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez were popular with DS readers from their early live performances - but who is your early tip to be named this year's American Idol? Vote for your choice and share your thoughts on Wednesday night's performances below:
