So from three we drop down to two. But not before we see some performances from Jordin Sparks and Katy Perry. Both ladies performed their latest singles, Perry performed wearing an "Adam Lambert" cape (can you guess who she is rooting for?) and Las Vegas show girl dress for her performance of Waking up in Las Vegas. Sparks performed "Battleground" which was co-written and accompanied by Ryan Tedder of One Republic.
Apparently the economy is doing well enough again for Idol producers to feel comfortable asking for your hard earned money again. Ok well technically it was Alicia Keys that was doing the asking. It's not like she was asking for much, just $5 from each Idol fan via text message. The money raised goes to the Keep a Child Alive charity, which she co-founded and is acts as global ambassador for. For those of you who were unable to send the text or want to know more about the charity or how you can help check out: http://keepachildalive.org/. For those who still want to give via text message in the USA you can text "alive" to 90999 and $5 will be charged to your next cellphone bill.
One of the charity's benefactors, 15 year old Rwandan rapper Noah, performed on the show.
Ok so on with the results.
We are down to three of the best candidates that Idol has seen in a long time so it's always difficult to chose who should go and who should stay. It goes without saying that all three of these guys have fantastic careers ahead of them but for one it will start a few days sooner than the other two.
So I picked Danny, Adam and Kris as my bottom three and naturally I was right (we can ignore the fact that only three remain (-:)
Kris was declared safe first and Danny Gokey was voted off.
Danny's story was one of a kind, only joining the competition as a promise to his late wife who passed away only weeks before he auditioned. And what a fitting way for him to go, performing You are So Beautiful one last time. For me his final performance was the best of the show. Without a doubt if his wife is watching over him she would have been smiling last night. Danny has nothing to be disappointed about, he had an incredible run and will have a fantastic career.
It all comes to an end next week. With Kris Allen and Adam Lambert squaring off for the coveted title of American Idol.
