American Idol Season 8 Finale.

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert sang “We are the Champions” together with surprise guest band Queen!

Kris was good but this song was really made for Adam Lambert and it showed the difference between the two contestant’s voice and singing style.

Adam Lambert rocked it with guest performers KISS! Sporting shoulder braces and high heels, it felt like Adam belonged. I can really see Adam doing this kind of songs and I am imagining KISS adopting this guy and making new music together.

Adam is bringing back the 80’s power vocal rock!

Adam Lambert sings the winner’s song “No Boundaries” which was co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi.
Adam’s performance was great. I didn’t care much for the song.

Kris Allen performs the same song.

It wasn’t as great as Adam’s version. His was a little soft and not very grand but the judges agree that this song suited his voice and style.

Adam Lambert performs “Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke. This song was picked for him by the shows producer Simon Fuller.

Great song choice by Fuller. Great performance by Adam. This was declared the winner of round 2 by Simon Cowell.

Adam Lambert’s first performance was “Mad World” - a repeat of his performance back from the birth year theme week.

He perfected this song and did better than last time. Complete with special fog and lighting effects.

Simon did not like the coat and the fog. He said it was a bit too theatrical.

Last night was the big night for all three contestants of American Idol because the finale is just a week away.

Here are your bottom 3 of the night: Adam, Kris, and Danny. Kidding.

The first one safe from elimination was Kris Allen. I knew he would be safe. Not because of his performance the other night, but because they showed his homecoming and the people that showed up was overwhelming. It was like half of the city came to see him.

DANNY GOKEY was eliminated!

I really thought this will be the upset of the year with Adam going home.

Adam Lambert’s pick for himself is “Cryin’” by Aerosmith.

This was the typical Adam Lambert performance complete with high notes and superstardom.

The judges all agree that he should be in the finals. While this performance is great, I liked his first song better.

Watch Adam Lambert sing One by U2.

Adam Lambert wows the crowd with “One” by U2.

This song was picked by Simon Cowell for Adam. Simon went about to reveal that he contacted Bono personally to ask permission to use this song on the show.

The judges all praised Adam. I really liked this performance. This is probably one of my favorite of the season.

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.

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.
