American Idol: Classic Rock

The theme for tonight was Rock and there is no surprise who had the best overall performance of the night. Having said that, choosing Rock as the theme and then saying Adam stole the show is like saying that a Slip & Slide works better when it's wet.

So here is the recap in no particular order:

1. Adam Lambert: No surprise here. Would have expected nothing else.

2. Alison Iraheta: I liked this performance. I thought it could have had a little more edge to it; in the cry baby part. Solid.

3. Danny Gokey: OK so the last note was a little rough, but he's not a rocker. I think it took big cojones to go for that note, well out of his comfort level. The rest of the song I thought was pretty awesome. A+ for taking a HUGE risk.

4. Kris Allen: I seriously cannot watch this kid perform anymore. His ridiculous facial expressions, ridiculous porn stash and boring song choice. I thought Simon's analogy of it feeling like a jam session was dead on.

Danny & Kris Duet: I thought the harmonies in this song were amazing. They sounded really great together. Alone, vocally Danny was better. But I think they both looked uncomfortable. It was obviously hard for them to do. It was hard to take Kris seriously the way he was holding his microphone.

Adam & Alison Duet: This was the best performance of the night. It was obvious that the two rockers would well rock. Kind of like how peanut butter tastes like peanuts.

It's obvious to me that Kris should be the one to go home...but I thought that last week. He's never been my favorite and I think he had the weakest performance tonight.
