Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta performs “Slow Ride” on American Idol Top 4 Rock week.
They both sounded really good and more “rock” compared to Danny and Kris who came out sounding like wannabes.

Danny Gokey sings “Dream On” by Aerosmith on American Idol Top 4 (Rock Week).
Danny did a decent job. Second best of the night but obviously not enough to dethrone Adam Lambert. I don’t know what to say about that last scream - good? bad? I thought he was going to explode into pieces.
Simon calls the scream something out of a Friday the 13th movie. Randy gives it A+ for effort.

Kris Allen performs “Come Together” on American Idol Top 4.
Very mild performance from pretty boy Kris. I thought it needed a little more oomph! and it was not quite rock enough.
Simon Cowell said the performance was like eating ice for lunch. I’ve never really had ice for lunch but I could imagine how it would be.

American Idol Top 4 contestant Allison Iraheta sings “Cry Baby” by Janis Joplin.
I thought it was a solid performance but coming out after an Adam Lambert performance will always be hard.
Randy did not like the performance. Simon said that the vocals were good but it was unoriginal.

This week’s theme is Rock on American Idol Top 4 and I am happy to see they invited Slash to be the guest mentor.
Adam Lambert sang “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin.
He was the first one to perform and set the bar really high. Adam rocked it out and all the judges loved him.
Randy told him he should make an album with Slash. Kara said Adam is a rock god. Simon said the only problem was that nobody could ever top that.
This is what Adam needs to pursue after the show, a rock album.
