American Idol 8 Top 3 Performance Recap
It was a drama-filled evening over at the judges’ table on American Idol last night with the bickering and subtle insults starting with the very first performance. Danny Gokey sang “Dance Little Sister” (chosen by Paula) and the judges seemed to like it but Kara criticized his dancing. Paula didn’t miss a bit and said “I’m a choreographer” and I believe he was “really good.” Meow. Kris Allen sang “Apologize” (chosen by Kara and Randy) and Kara… More »
Kris Allen Top 3 “Heartless”
Kris Allen decided to sing “Heartless” by Kanye West and everyone in my house jumped and looked at each other with shocked faces. He chose to accompany himself on the acoustic guitar and he completely, absolutely, 1000% blew me away. I was extraordinarily stunned and impressed and I think that Kris has really solidified himself as an artist, whether he wins or not. Randy said that he liked that version better than the original Kanye version. Kara… More »
Danny Gokey Top 3 “You Are So Beautiful”
Danny Gokey chose to sing “You Are So Beautiful” which was originally made famous by Joe Cocker. After losing his wife, I can’t believe that he can sing these super emotional songs.

Randy said that he loved that Danny showed that he’s in the competition because he can really, really, really sing. Kara said… More »
Adam Lambert Top 3 “One”
American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, chose U2’s iconic hit “One” because he said that it is one of his favorite songs in the world. He even had to get permission from Bono himself and Adam did not disappoint. It was beautiful, poignant, tender and powerful all at the same time. I really loved it and I can’t believe how much he had grown throughout this competition. Randy said that Adam has been hot since day one… More »
Kris Allen Top 3 “Apologize”
American Idol judges, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, were responsible for choosing a song for Kris Allen this week and I was thrilled to learn that he would be singing “Apologize” by OneRepublic. I really loved the performance and, I know he didn’t make too many changes to the arrangement, but it was great for me. Randy said that right now it’s about who is going to win this competition and he believed that Kris showed us… More »
Danny Gokey Top 3 “Dance Little Sister”
American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, was in charge of one of the song choices for Top 3 contestant, Danny Gokey. She picked “Dance Little Sister” by Terence Trent D’Arby and I think it was a corny and dumb selection. She could have picked something that the audience would have been more familiar with while allowing Danny to be who he is. I didn’t like it but I think Danny did the very best that he could with what he was… More »
