Yes boys and girls, it’s the all-important episode — the top 3 finalists battling it out for a spot in the much-awaited finale! This week’s theme was “Judge’s choice/ contestants choice” and so Kris Allen, Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert sang two songs each. And it was a night full of awesome music! Danny opened the show with a version of Terrence Trent D’Arby’s “Dance Little Sister” picked by Paula Abdul. The four American Idol judges liked the vocals but not the dancing. Later he sung an acoustic version of Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful” and was once again praised.

Kris Allen sang One Republic’s “Apologize” with piano picked for him by Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. He was lambasted for not making the song his own. But Kris redeemed himself with his song choice of Kanye West’s “Heartless” — Randy said it was “better than the original” and Simon Cowell said that it put him back in the race =) Last to perform was Adam Lambert with Simon Cowell’s pick: “One” by U2. As expected, all judges loved his rendition. Adam’s song choice was Aerosmith’s “Cryin”. And it was once again an awesome performance. So, who will move on?? Find out tomorrow!
