I lost track of the time just before AI started and totally missed Danny Gokey’s performance of the judges’ choice. No matter. He nailed his performance of Joe Cocker’s You are so Beautiful to Me. I hope that was enough to get him to the finale! *Fingers crossed*

The judges were a little tough on Kris Allen’s performance of his first song. I liked it though because I think Kris has a very pleasant singing voice and the song Apologise was the right genre for him. I have never heard the Kanye West song that he sang. The judges thought it was even better than the original version! I think he did very well.

Adam Lambert is definitely talented but I did not like his interpretation of U2′s One. The beautiful melody was totally lost in his interpretation. At this point, Adam Lambert does not have to worry about whether or not he will win the competition, he is ready to cut a record right now and will be successful as a recording artiste just like Chris Daughtry is despite not having won the American Idol title.

I think Simon Cowell is right .. the viewers are the ones who choose which contestants get to go to the finals and to hear some of the judges say it, and that includes Simon himself!, Adam Lambert is not guaranteed a spot in the finale. The biggest upset in American Idol history could very well happen tomorrow if Adam gets knocked out of the competition!

Even though I am rooting for Danny Gokey to reach the finals and would be very disappointed if he doesn’t, all three of them deserve to be in the finals. They are equally talented in their own unique way.

It is now up to their fans who gets to win the coveted American Idol title.
