So who would you think is the most popular American Idol from last year’s season 5? And how would you find that out? Probably one of the easiest ways to tell, is to find out how many people are searching on their name.

Through the keyword search tool over at Yahoo Search Marketing you can see how many people are searching on a specific keyword in the previous month. Now these results are for February 2007, results aren’t ready for March yet, but guess who’s in the lead for the previous month? That would be our man Elliott Yamin by a good margin.

These results don’t cover the entire search spectrum because they are only from Yahoo’s network of sites and don’t include Google numbers which would increase things by about 2.5 to 3 times. But at least you get some idea of who is the most popular American Idol from season 5.

The results are below in order:

Elliott Yamin - 114,167 searches - This is probably due to Elliott’s impending release of his first album.
Katharine McPhee - 86,001 searches - I thought Kellie Pickler would be more popular than Kat.
Kellie Pickler - 78,681 searches
Chris Daughtry - 39,851 searches - Chris is still at number 4 on Billboard’s top 100 albums
Taylor Hicks - 21,710 searches - Wow, I’m a little surprised here that the winner last year places at #4
Bucky Covington - 15,969 searches
Ace Young - 5,919 searches
Paris Bennett - 4,618 searches - I really liked Paris, but I don’t think she ever got a fair shake from the judges.
Lisa Tucker - 1,227 searches
Kevin Covais - 975 searches - Remember Chicken Little? He was the underdog but didn’t have quite the popularity that underdog Sanjaya Malakar has.
Melissa McGhee - 852 searches
Mandisa - 224 searches - I’m surprised that Mandisa is last. I thought she had a great voice and was quite a bit better than Melissa.

Of course these results will drastically change for March search results. If you remember Kellie Pickler’s appearance at this year’s Idol when she showed up with enhanced breasts. Thousands of searchers were looking for Kellie after that.

      Taylor comes in 4th because we don’t have to go out and search for the news. He has an amazing blog that brings us up to date info faster than we could search for it ;)
