T minus three weeks until the Idol finale and we are now on the hunt for who will go head to head with Adam for the crown. My pick is still Danny Gokey but Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta gave him a run for his money. Jamie Foxx surprised the Idols as the mentor of the week, helping them navigate through the Rat Pack.
Kris Allen sang “The Way You Look Tonight” with Jamie Foxx declaring he would do a record with him right now! Randy stamped it as Kris’ best performance to date. I thought he did a perfect rendition of this song.
Allison Iraheta celebrated her birthday this week… happy 1-7! She belted out “Someone to Watch Over Me.” What an amazing performance. All the judges love it but Simon is worried for her because her supposed lack of confidence. Maybe this “lack of confidence” has something to do with the fact that Idols know they can give an amazing performance but a certain judge still gives a negative review.
Matt Giraud crooned “My Funny Valentine,” a jazz standard he has been waiting to sing. I thought he did a nice job but I think this is his week to go home. I along with Randy and Kara don’t think he did enough to over come any of the other Idols. In a twist, Simon agreed with Paula and gave him a ‘brilliant’ with a wink. This could really hurt Allison.
Danny Gokey is still the one I’m rooting for and he did not disappoint with “Come Rain Come Shine.” He has an amazing talent and voice! Wow! If he has been off at all in the past weeks, he is back.
Adam Lambert sang “Feeling Good.” As always he was technically amazing but honestly didn’t feel the performance as much as I felt the others. Just like Randy, I felt it was a bit over the top but as Simon pointed out, that is his thing and why most in America love him.
I think that Matt Giraud should and will go home but Simon’s comments to Allison might be enough to sway America against her. What do you all think? Who are you rooting for to make it into the finale?

Danny really stepped it up tonight!! Best performance of the night! Jamie Foxx really brought out the best in all the singers except Adam. I thought that was his worst since the “Ring of fire” thing I hated. Kris was really super tonight and Allison did well also. I thought Matt did well, but I thought he would have been quite a bit better with this genre but he seemed to wander a bit with his pitch, I think this will be his last week with he and Allison being the bottom two.
If it were up to me the finale would be between Kris and Allison. They’re the two most likable contestants in my opinion, and I think they’re both better performers than Danny or Matt. I don’t think anyone’s going to beat Adam in the end though.
I’m with you. I think Matt should go home. I would’ve liked to have heard what Anoop did with Standards night. It seems like it would’ve been right up his alley.
I think the top three right now are Danny, Kris, and Adam.
Phil, I think that Matt should be the one to go. He was supposed to have gone already, but got the judges’ “save.” Allison has continually been so good, so I don’t think she deserves to go yet. It is puzzling that she has been in the bottom 3, when she has shown so much talent. Happy that Danny, who is my favorite, too, is still in it,:-D. I thought he was awesome!
