The Top 3 perform judges picks

Submitted by The Critic on Tue, 2009-05-12 18:09.

After the shock of having Adam in the bottom three last week, this week there has been even more drama before the show has even started.

It's a massive show tonight. Not only is it the 300th episode of American Idol, one of our top three is going to miss out on a place in the Grand Finale of the show.

There are two performances each tonight. One picked by the judges and an own choice. Should be interesting.

It could be a mix of good and bad tonight depending on the song choices.

Let's get into the show!

Apple iTunes

Danny Gokey
Paula's Song Choice: Terence Trent D'Arby - Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby - Dance Little Sister Dance Little Sister
Voting Numbers

Reasonable Gokey performance but I'm still not sold on him.

Randy: Let the games begin. A lot of energy and you're performing like crazy.
Kara: The dancing was a little gyrating for me.
Paula: I think you did really good.
Simon: Just to remind everyone that this is a singing show not that dancing show next door. What was with the sax solo?

Kris Allen
Randy and Kara's Song Choice: OneRepublic - Dreaming Out Loud - Apologize Apologize
Voting Numbers

Apologize is such a massive song and it was rather a second rate performance for me.

Randy: This showed who you could be in the music business.
Kara: At this stage you need to be hitting it out of the park. Take more chances
Paula: There was a loud bum note but I'm so proud of you.
Simon: I don't think you can blame him for anything when you chose the song for him

Adam Lambert
Simon's Song Choice: U2 - Achtung Baby - One One
Voting Numbers

Another outstanding performance by Adam. Absolutely incredible.

Randy: A little going off the melody for me. It's a great song and you're a really talented guy.
Kara: You made that unbelievable.
Paula: It was one brillant performance. That's one American Idol I'm looking at.
Simon: It may be a little biased but that was a great song choice. If you're not in the final next week it will be one of the biggest upsets ever.

Danny Gokey
Danny's Song Choice: Joe Cocker - Greatest Love Songs - You Are So Beautiful You Are So Beautiful
Voting Numbers

This was an incredibly smart song choice for Danny. It was a little flat in places but the arrangement was superb and should cement him into the Grand Final with Mr Lambert.

Randy: You showed you're here because you can really, really, really sing. Mad vocals.
Kara: Stunning. Nothing else to say. Amazing.
Paula: You put your magic on it and it was a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Simon: I love the song but I don't think it needed the arrangement. I would, however, call that a vocal masterclass.

Kris Allen
Kris' Song Choice: Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak (Bonus Video Version) - Heartless Heartless
Voting Numbers

Well, this just got interesting didn't it. That was a brilliant arrangement as well. Bring on the results show!

Randy: I like that version better than the original. I think tonight's voting is going to be crazy!
Kara: Perfect! The tone, the pitch, the phrasing!
Paula:
Simon: I had written you out of the competition but that performance has changed everything.

Adam Lambert
Adam's Song Choice: Aerosmith - Big Ones - Cryin' Cryin'
Voting Numbers

Not his best performance, but really consistent.

Randy: You're one of the biggest stars we've had on this stage.
Kara: How do you hit those notes and still talk the next day? See you at the finals.
Paula: We'll be seeing you next week and many years afterwards.
Simon: I don't want anyone to assume you're going to be in the final but rather vote to make sure you are.

Well I do believe kris Allen has earned his spot as well as earned his spot on the finale. I personally can't stand Adam reason being that screaming has go to stop. His vocal talent could be amazing but his screaming tactics don't work on me. And we can't loose sight of how we need to vote on the winner. Would u or would u not buy there album?? I would not buy Adams cd I really think he sounds like the kareoke DJ that thinks he can sing so he does every song imaginable the same way. I would hate to see Adam sing Jesus loves me. Kris has shown up and shown out in every performance he is probably the most talented person ever in American idol history!!! Danny is one hell of a vocalist as well it needs to be between danny and kris. I really feel like Simon being the most respectful judge on American idol is shamelessly plugging Adam lambert which makes me thing this is rigged. If he was to
Hear something like this on britans got talent he would hate it. Look back in history there have been people who have sang like Adam and he hated the performance it's funny that now he thinks it's
Brilliant.....funny huh???
