Tuesday night on American Idol it was down to the top three performers. The three remaining contestants– Danny, Adam and Kris–had to sing two songs one of which was chosen by the judges.

I think that the performers choices were better than the choices made by the celebrities. Danny was the first to perform and he had to sing “Dance Little Sister” chosen by Paula Abdul. Next was Kris Allen who sang One Republic’s “Apologize”. I thought it was ‘okay,” but it wasn’t my favorite performance of his. Simon picked Adam Lambert’s song. He performed U2’s “One.” I liked it, but many of my students and co-workers disagreed.

During the second round of songs, Danny had “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker which I thought was terrific. Kris had Kayne West’s “Heartless.” Absolutely awesome! Adam sang “Crying,” by Aerosmith. Did the background singer bother anyone but me? I’m in a rush to publish this before the results are in. My predictions are Kris (HOORAY) and Adam.
