It's Adam vs Kris on American Idol

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - It’s a battle between the rock star and the acoustic man on the finale of  American Idol (AI) Season 8, which airs on Q-11 tonight at 6 (same day replay at 8:30 p.m.), results will be aired tomorrow, 8 a.m., live via satellite (same day replay at 7:30 p.m.).

Eighty-eight million votes were cast and just around a million votes separated Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Danny Gokey, the bespectacled crooner, received the lowest number of votes and was eliminated from the competition. 

The recent performance night featured AI’s first ever all-male Top Three.  Danny sang Terence Trent D’Arby’s Dance Little Sister,  chosen for him by judge Paula Abdul. He later performed a song of his choice, Joe Cocker’s You Are So Beautiful. The judges were all praises for Danny’s vocal skills.

Allen, on the other hand, got some flak for his rendition of One Republic ‘s Apologize,  chosen for him by judges Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. But he bounced back with Kanye West’s Heartless.

Lambert gave audiences goosebumps when he sang U2’s One then segued into an unbelievably high-pitched chorus. One, was chosen for him by judge Simon Cowell. Adam’s second song was Aerosmith’s Cryin’.

Next performance night will be the final showdown between this season’s Top Two. Who will crumble under the pressure? Who will prevail? Who will be this season’s American Idol?
