The four remaining American Idol contestants, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, and Kris Allen sang rock songs. Well, Adam and Allison sang rock songs. Kris and Danny gave it their best shot.
Lambert came out first and he must have waxed the floor on his way off stage because all of the other contestants fell short in comparison. Judge Simon Cowell was on point when he said that the rest would not measure up to Adam's performance (I'm paraphrasing). Allison was a very close second even though she was criticized by the judges for her song choice.
Kris Allen and Danny Gokey will probably find themselves biting their nails side by side as they wait anxiously to see which one will have to leave the competition. Gokey has a strong following but Allen may edge him out because the girls love the fact that he plays the guitar. And who could resist that smile? Good looks and the ability to hold your own with world famous rock guitarist Slash should surely trump the horrible note Gokey not only screamed but held at the end of his performance. Were the dogs in your neighborhood in an uproar, too? Yeah! Thought so.
The duets rendered by Allen and Gokey and Iraheta and Lambert should prove to anyone with decent hearing that I've been right all along... the final showdown will be between Iraheta and Lambert -- or at least it should be. He's been accused by Randy Jackson as being over-the-top and too theatrical. I've considered him to be a rocker from jump. Whichever... it doesn't matter. He is the Season 8 American Idol. And young Allison is the only one left in the competition who can give Adam a good run for his money.
By the way, all of you Paula Abdul fans, she will be performing on the results show. I still listen to Cold Hearted Snake, Straight Up and Forever Your Girl. Oh, I guess that means I'm a fan,too, huh? Well, why not!
Taking you back...
