American Idol – Top 3

Welcome back to The Expressionist Magazine

This week Kris, Adam and Danny got the chance to go home to a regal welcome home party.  While they were back home, they would receive their song choice from the judges.

Danny got his pick from Paula while back home in Milwaukee.  She chose for him “Dance Little Sister.”  On his choice he chose “You Are So Beautiful.”  His performance on Paula’s pick was good but didn’t win him many accolades from the judges.  His performance of “You Are So Beautiful” totally redeemed him in the judges’ eyes, as they were blown away by the vocals.

While in Little Rock, Kris got his song choice from Randy and Kara who chose “Apologize.” On his choice he chose the song “Heartless.”  For the judges pick, he performed it well, but it lacked some luster that Randy and Kara pointed out.  They wanted him to try something different and to rearrange the song a bit and make it his own.  His rendition of “Heartless” was amazing, and I agree with Randy; it was better than the original artist.  Simon had him written off with his first performance of the night, which had all the judges arguing, but he said that “Heartless” may have kept him in the competition.

Adam was in San Diego when he got the text from Simon, who chose “One” for him.  Adam’s choice was “Cryin’” by Aerosmith.  Adam, as usual, completely blew the judges away and showed the people that he is in a leauge by himself.  He had a flawless vocal night and an amazing stage presence.

Tonight, 88 million votes came in to decide the finale.  The people chose Kris and Adam to compete for this year’s coveted American Idol title.  Danny somehow lost to Kris and will take third place.  I have no idea how that happened, since Kris has scraped through this competition by the skin of his teeth.  Everyone thought it was going to be Danny and Adam, but that isn’t going to happen!  I think Kris was hoping Danny would win, than to take on the powerful and charismatic Adam, but it will be a great fight!

Next week Tuesday, they go head to head, starting at 8pm.  On Wednesday we crown the new American Idol in a two hour special.
