Man, he can SING! He made me quiver deep inside (ladies, you know what I mean)...I'm not a voter, but I def thought Gokey was the best last night. Adam was too Adam for me and wish that tongue would get bitten off! Kris was so sweet...he's my fave, but he didn't reach inside me last night.

Only one week left until the American Idol season 8 finals. The final two will duke it out on stage on May 19, but before then it was time for the top 3 guys to sing for their spot on that stage. Adam Lambert , Danny Gokey and Kris Allen have all had a long, hard road to get to where they were last night on Idol (some much harder than others) and they didn’t waste any time proving that they made it this far for a reason.

I didn't hear Kris' "loud bum note" either - what was Paula talking about? And I also LOVED Kris' stripped down piano-only version of Apologize. And then he went on to nail Heartless. I'm not a fan of Gokey's voice & style. But I did like that he sang a slower, softer song for his personal choice (except then he went and started shouting again). Paula's pick for Danny was boring, repetitive & had no melody. I really didn't like Adam's 'One' and I think it is one of his worst performances (along with the other song he sang tonight and his solo last week). I LOVE the lyrics to that song. I don't think it is too sappy (not like tracks of my tears was, anyway!). I wanted him to do a heartfelt, stripped-down version of it with little instrumentation like he did with Tracks of my Tears. This was a perfect song for him to do that in. Apparantly Simon arranged this version of 'One' - what was Simon thinking?? I LOVE Adam's slower songs & less instrumentation and dramatics, but he hasn't done one since 3 weeks ago when he did 'Feeling Good'. The last time he gave a performance that wasn't "theatrical", staged, and emotionally disconnected from the audience was 'If I Can't Have You' 4 weeks ago. Feeling Good was brilliant-sounding but I was too distracted by his white suit and red stairs to actually listen to it, and I felt very disconnected from Adam during that performance. Thanks for the review/recap!
