Live blog after the JUMP…
Ford Music Video – “Break My Stride” – Mean dogs and animation!
Ryan introduces Alicia Keys to speak about the “Keep a Child Alive” initiative. Text “Alive” to 90999 to donate. A dude from Rwanda takes the stage to perform. It’s a mini Idol Gives Back! 5 minute style.
The Top 3 are backstage. It’s time for the hometown visits!
Ryan calls Danny Gokey to center stage. It’s about “tragedy and triumph” says Danny. Crying fans…screaming cheerleaders…big huggy reunion with BFF Jamar. Some nutty chick chases his car with a sign. Danny is overwhelmed by the fans. There’s a sign that says, “Scream On” lol. Danny says his homecoming is bittersweet.
Ryan recites Danny’s deets….and of course, no results yet.
Kris Allen is next. He says he’s a little nervous. Huge crowds turn out for Kris. He meets his HUGE family at his parents house. He hugs his Dad who begins to cry as he tells Kris he’s proud of him. Kris sings “Falling Slowly”. He and his wife ride together in the parade. It’s Kris Allen day in Conway. Dad and mom are super emotional. Aw. His Dad is crying in the audience.
Ryan recites Kris’s deets…Ryan begins with the vote spiel as if he’s going to spill, but…no results!
Back from break, Jordin Sparks takes the stage with Ryan Tedder on piano. He wrote her new single “Battlefield”.  Jordin look good Love her dress. She’s sharpened her performance skills. Big soaring chorus and giant hook = HIT. That last look. Jordin’s all fierce and stuff!
Adam Lambert is next. Adam heads to the local morning news. We see Adam put eyeliner on the weather chick. Adam at the radio station. “This is nuts” says Adam. Adam goes to visit Met2, where he performed as a little kid. He answers kids’ questions. Now it’s on to his old high school. There’s the “streaker”. Next Adam goes to Mirimar station where he sings the National Anthem in front of a giant-ass flag.
Ryan recites Adam’s deets… still not time for results
Ryan is sitting with the Top 3 on stage as he introduces Katy Perry. Danny wants it to be over. Adam wants to see Katy Perry! She performs her single “Waiting in Vegas” Suddenly Katy Perry thinks she’s Lady Ga Ga! She’s got this Judy Jetson getup–complete with cape pimping Adam Lambert. (apparently they’re friends) Oops. she sounds like ass. What’s up with the bug eyes?
The guys stand center stage….Ryan says, “After the nationwide vote…I can now reveal the first person competing in next week’s finale is…Kris!” Simon is actually smiling. Paula mouth is wide open. Kris Allen family HUG. Like last week, Kris looks totally shocked.
Who competes against Kris? Danny or Adam? Some thought this was going to be the finale. Danny has never been in the bottom 3….the person competing with Kris in the finale is Adam Lambert. He puts his face in his hands.  His family celebrates. Kara looks shocked and disappointed.
Ryan says, “We say good bye to Danny Gokey, one of the best, ladies and gentlemen…”
It’s time for Danny’s goodbye video. He watches and smiles. He sings out with “You are so beautiful.” His singout is intense. Pauler is crying. The three amigos hug.
Simon says, “None of us would have predicted this, guys…no disrespect because you were brilliant last night…and just now Danny, by the way, congratulations…Kris your second song in particular made you a contender…you’re in with a real show…Adam, we’ve always liked you. This could be, as we call, a big ding-dong coming up.”
A ding-dong? Ha!

World I Know was right after ABMB for me on the Cook Hot List =)
I believe Lenscrafters offers lenses of all thickness!
As a contact/glasses wearer, (and in defense of Adam’s clothing expenditures which seemed to have been added to the list of reasons not to like him ) I know how expensive prescription eyewear is—how on earth did Danny afford to have 15 pairs of glasses even before the show started and how does he have 50 now? Talk about flagrant spending…..
oh wait….Lenscrafters… :doh_tb:
His career should last as long as it takes Lenscrafters to put together new frames: About an hour.
Danny should stop making a spectacle of his wife’s life and death. I can’t see this taking off. I’m sorry but if he keeps this on he is going to make a glasses of himself.
Don’t forget to tip your waitress!
In my opionion I think both Adam and Kris are great but different. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like Freddy Mercury vs James Taylor. I love them both and I would buy both their cdà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s and play which ever depending on my mood. I am more of and Adam Fan as I believe he has more range and can sing many different styles. For all those who say he sounds the same in every songà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.well on some level you may be right but you can say that about Kris, Danny, Allison. Adam out of all of them can sing different genreà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s. From a Whole lotta love to Tracks of my tears to Black and White, to Mad world. I suggest you play them all none of them sound the same.
I am pulling for Adam for the win (and voting like crazy) but will not be devastated if Kris wins. I just hope they both put on their best performances so WE ALL WIN
I think I said this a few days ago. While it would NOT be “AI,” I wish both Adam and Kris could win. They are different artists much like David Cook and Archuleta. Their fan bases may be different and the same… Speaking of “One Love” and all that. :}
Clay Aiken proved that second place isn’t so bad after all!!
Katy Perry reminded me of a bad AI audition. If she had tried out in that outfit and sang like that for an audition, the judges would have laughed her out of the room except Simon who would have used some of his well known adjectives for her.
“”"”A lot of Gokey fans on the AI boards are voting for Kris now. In fact, at this point, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d say Kris could easily beat Adam. Andà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m okay with that. For the most part. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d prefer Adam to win, but I like Kris too. I think I will be happy with whatever the outcome is next week.”"”"
This sort of thing was so predictable and is going on as scripted but the thing is, I dont think Gokey fans are all that fired up to vote anymore for anyone. I do my little impromtu station polls and a lot liked Gokey but arent invested in the rest so they will now sit back, relax and watch or not, cuz the gokey is gone. Also, this former Kradam is now just an A dam – I would like to think I helped get my two fav’s to the top but when it comes down to the wire all my votes are on Adam now, so I am really not to worried by all this oooh ooooh Adam Im gonna GET you now and vote for Kris, pssst – whatever. Really though, I am sooooo freaking excited to get to see, finally, my two favorites battle it out, after next week I wont get to see them except when mj posts tour info and whomever wins is really ok, they both will do well, Kris just needs this more than Adam cuz Adam is already a superstar but lil Krissy is not too far behind and that contract would serve him well
sumidol – Kris is contracted to make an album whether he wins or comes in second. It’s not about needs to win, let the best singer win!
