the rock and roll night was a sure hit at the 8th season of american idol. after last night's performance, 64 million votes were casted in the 2 hour span, the most of any season outside the finale episode. the results night was jampacked, with the groups song being performed with this week's mentor, slash. it was still hard rock, and as expected, adam performed the best during the group song and danny and kris still looked awkward.
also on idol stage tonight, judge paula abdul will perform for the first time in idol history. she performed "i am here for the music". it really looked like it was lipsynch but i ope it was not. she still is an entertainer and she is still damn hot!
next on stage is no doubt. i started their song but i switched channels after some time.
then results time. ryan talks about how its gonna work tonight. so there are three stools on the right part of the stage, one for each of the top three. after they are called to safety, they will occupy each of the stools. the top three will be called randomly, and in no particular order. ryan calls the four hopeful on the stage and talks about the performances last night and the judges' critiques.
so the first one safe tonight is.... kris allen! yes america! thanks for saving kris! he still can't believe he is on the top three. he looks stunned. his wife appears to be crying. yes! kris is safe!
suspense... another intermission before we get the final results. it's chris daughtry! well, three seasons ago, he was eliminated on the same week (after elliot, katherine and taylor qualified to the final three). after that, he formed his band and moved on to be one of the most successful rock bands in a short span of time. their debut album is already quadruple platinum and they are releasing their second album.
they will be singing their first single out of the new album "no surprises." daughtry is really amazing! hope adam learns from chris that it does not need to be too shouty to be a rock star. i still love chris daughtry and he is incredible! after the song, ryan surprised the band with their quintuple platinum award (which was handed to them by kris allen - lucky kris!). this means their album sold 5 million copies worldwide.
then back to results. the second person put to safety is ... adam lambert!
no surprise their. after being in the bottom three last week, adam fanatics will surely keep their phone busy voting or him this week. plus the fact that he was the best performer last night.
so it is down to danny gokey and allison iraheta. in my review, they were the two weakest singers last night. danny was the worst last night but i predicted that allison will go home tonight simply because of fanbase.
so the one who will complete the top three is... danny gokey!
and the one with the lowest number of votes is... allison iraheta!
still no surprises. amidst the fact that allison is a good singer, allison never really had a strong fan base. she has been in the bottom three for a couple of times and i think her fans never had the consistency of voting for her. being named as the dark horse in the competition, she really has a great voice and her energy and youth is evident in her performances. hope she gets a record after the show and i also hopes she gets a good stylist after this.
so, we have an all male top three this season. next week, all three will be going back to their own hometowns and they will perform two songs next week. one song will be their personal pick and another will be picked by one of the judges.
2 more weeks and we will have a new american idol. what's sure right now is that it will be a male... other than that, your guess is as good as mine.
