American Idol Week 9 - Wrap Up

And then there were three.

The last of the ladies was sent home on American Idol this week as young Allison sang her swan song on the Idol stage. "Cry Baby" was her song this week but she was anything but as she said her good byes to end her incredible 9 week Idol run taking her to the top 4.

The top 3 are Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. As they were announced last night, Ryan said in no particular order, Kris was the first to be declared safe followed by Adam. One can only speculate as to who the true bottom three were but I guess at this point it doesn't really matter.

Performances last night were great, with the exception of a horrible group performance of "School's Out" that would have Alice Cooper rolling in his grave (if he were dead that is). Even Idol's own Paula Abdul took to the stage dancing (she wasn't really singing) to her new, soon to be hit, single. Idol alum Chris Daughtry came back to the Idol stage for the first time since he was voted off during the same week as Allison in season 5, he and his band performed the first single off of their upcoming album expected to be released this July. Also performing was the recently reunited No Doubt who was promoting their upcoming tour which is expected to lead to a new No Doubt album sometime in the next few years.

All in all it was a great evening of entertainment.

The Grand Finale is next week with contestants singing two songs, one chosen by themselves and the other chosen by the judges.

But first watch for my reviews of: Star Trek and X-Men Origins - Wolverine over the weekend.
