Lambert, Iraheta and Allen are American Idols
So much for my favorite, Megan Joy Corkrey. She will have to claim one of the judge’s wild cards to get into the final 12 of American Idol’s Season 8.
Allison Iraheta advanced after performing Heart’s “Alone” last night. The 16 year old redhead from Los Angeles did rock the house, but I’m not convinced she can make it very far.
Kris Allen had a mediocre performance last night, singing Michael Jackson’s “Man In The Mirror”, but he impressed the judges in the Hollywood round. Apparently America agreed with the judges. The 23 year old from Conway, Arkansas will need to pick better songs but he does have the voice to carry him to the end if all goes well.
Adam Lambert is definitely a crowd favorite. He has the look of a rocker and he did a great rendition of The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction”. If he keeps it up, the 26 year old, also from Los Angeles, might just give Danny Gokey a run for his money over the coming months.
I will still hold out hope that Simon and Randy can convince the girls to let Megan Joy Corkrey through to the finals…can’t wait to see what happens next week!
