Two songs, three contestants, four judges. This is go time, boys. Who will step it up tonight?
| 1. Danny Gokey
|
 |
“Dance Little Sister” by Terrence Trent D’arby – I didn’t mind the dancing like Simon and Kara did. I also thought he sang the song really well. However, there was nothing extremely exciting or different coming from him. So to summarize, good, almost great, but not outstanding. |
| 02. Kris Allen
|

“Apologize” by One Republic – Sort of the same thing as Danny. Thought he sang it really well, but don’t think he brought anything new. I love the song, but if they wanted him to rearrange then they should have chosen a song that he would be forced to rearrange. However, come on guys, how much do you expect from these people. They didn’t find out about this until Friday, and I’m sure he didn’t have tons of time to make some genius rearrangement, especially considering he had to prepare two songs. However, with the original arrangement like he did, I still think it could have been a bit better. |
| 03. Adam Lambert
|
 |
“One” by U2 – Fabulous arrangement, fabulous performance. Well, round one goes to Adam. |
| 04. Danny Gokey
|
+1/2 |
“You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker – I think Danny is finally doing what I have been waiting for, is stepping up, bringing something different and unexpected to the performance. This performance was great. My one gripe now is that he tends to babble on stage, and it is becoming annoying. Ryan needs to reel that in right quick. |
| 05. Kris Allen
|
|
“Heartless” by Kanye West – Beyond brilliant. I have hopped aboard the Kris Allen express. And hopefully that train stops at the Nokia next week. That was fantastic. Amazing. LOVED IT. |
| 06. Adam Lambert
|
+1/2 |
“Cryin’” by Aerosmith – Well, I think he schooled Danny’s Aerosmith from last week. I was waiting for him to say that he picked Dream On – I would have died. It was great, but not his absolute best performance. I liked his first performance better. |
Round 1: Adam
Round 2: Kris
Danny did step it up tonight with his You Are So Beautiful performance, and I think his fan base might put him through, though after Kris’s brilliant arrangement of Heartless, I think he deserves it slightly more. I think Adam is a sure bet, so it will be Danny and Kris battling it out for the second spot.
The judges are right, though. This is the tightest top 3 race ever to be on the show. All of them are superb, and all deserve to win.
(Sorry this post is belated – I may or may not have found an extended preview of Glee on my tivo, and may or may not have watched it 4 times. Sorry!)
