OK……so we had the TOP 3 perform last night, and tonight….we get our FINAL 2 chosen by America to see who will compete next week for the Season 8 Idol title! All contestants sang 2 songs, one picked by the judges and one personal choice. Here’s the skinny on what went down last night on Fox!

Danny Gokey –OK…..the first song, a choice by Paula called ‘Dance Little Sister’, was performed OK, not great….although not the song choice I would have done for him. As Simon and Kara said, the dancing was a bit awkward. His personal choice, Joe Cocker’s ‘You are So Beautiful’, was just awful in my opinion, from the first note right thru to the ending!!! So, I totally disagree with the judges! Just what am I missing with this kid?? I don’t know, but I know one thing, Kris and Adam are way ahead of him in talent, and I don’t feel there’s any way he should be in the FINAL! HE MUST GO HOME TONIGHT!!!

Kris Allen—Thought Randy and Kara’s choice for him with ‘Apologize’ was a good one, but he certainly didn’t need ripped by Biatch Kara after he sang it, and I really thought he did it quite well! His personal choice, ‘Heartless’ was absolutely what Idol should be all about: Originality, Creativity and pure, raw talent! This kid is relevant and could cut an album tomorrow and be very successful! He blew away Gokey with this song, and I believe it put him in THE FINAL! He’ll be BOTTOM 2 and America may screw it all up and send him home tonight….but I’m saying he’s in the THE FINAL with Adam… and it’ll be GOKEY going home!

Adam Lambert –Great song pick from Simon with U2’s ‘One’ ….and Adam absolutely covered it incredibly well!! Best performance of the night, with Kris’s ‘Heartless’ a close second! Although I will say, that his personal choice with Aerosmith’s ‘Cryin’, which I thought was a perfect choice for him, was NOT his best performance, a bit indulgent (love that word!) and was all over the place at times, with just too much of the screaming lyrics in it. But…..this kid deserves to be ‘off’ a bit with a song now and then….and for ADAM, it’s THE FINALS….anything less would be absolutely shocking!!!

One final thought…. I do think what Simon said in critiquing was critical, that we all cannot just assume that Adam will be in the FINAL unless America voted early and often! It may be the case that if people think that Kris or Dokey Gokey needed the votes more, that all the voting was heavier for them, and Adam is on the OUTSIDE looking in tonight! Could it happen? Certainly……but will it happen? I doubt it!! But again, KUDOS to Simon for stating the case as he did to end the night!

NOTE: In RED are those who I originally had predicted for the TOP 12!

Bottom Line: FINAL 2: ADAM vs. KRIS….& GOKEY MUST GO HOME!!!!!! Having a hernia that I need surgery for soon, I can’t scream too wildly and loudly tonight if Gokey stays and makes it to the final, but I’ll be quite nauseous and will increase my intake of alcohol to compensate!

So what does everyone else think of last night’s show? Who do you think should be booted off tonight? Who’s your pick to win it all?

OK….we’ll know the FINAL 2 after tonight..…until then…it’s Eddie ‘Little Simon-NO FINAL FOR DOKEY GOKEY’ Idol…OUT!!

Kim's note: If Adam goes home tonight, I'm not watching next week!!! I luv me my guyliner!! GO GLAMBERT!!!!
