Idol is now officially an "all-boys club" after Allison Iraheta was voted off, leaving Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen to be saluted with hometown parades.
Allison was often faulted for not showing enough confidence or fire as a stage personality, but there were always confidence and fire in her singing, weren’t there? At any rate, the voting audience has always been ambivalent about her — perhaps because of her youth, her hair and her style, which has been compared to Kelly Clarkson’s.
Kris (or even Danny) should have been the one to go based on his performance, but America just decided who to go based on popularity, not talent.
It seems inconceivable that Adam won’t be in the final two. So who goes next — Kris or Danny? Hopefully it will be Kris!
The night’s guest performers included No Doubt, former Idol contestant Chris Daughtry and none other than Paula Abdul. She and a chorus of male dancers performed through fog and red-fabric flames for her new single “I’m Just Here for the Music.” At the end, one of the dancers, pretending to be paparazzi, shouted, “Will you be back for next season?” She did not answer.
Watch the final three perform two songs, one of their choice and other the judges' choice, next Tuesday at 8:00 pm (ET) on FOX. Then find out who will be in the finale on Wednesday at 9:00 pm (ET).
