It's quickly nearing the end of American Idol 8 and we are finally down to the final four and better yet, it's rock night. I have zero fears for my reigning royal favorites, Adam and Allison. Kris and Danny, however, might just finally be in some serious trouble with the latter going home if I had my way.
On to the show....

Apparently tonight's taping was filled with mishaps so the final four didn't get a proper dress rehearsal so this should be very interesting indeed. The mentor for RNR week is none other than bad ass top hat wearing Slash from Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver. Sure, he's not known as a singer but he's one hell of a musician and natural performer. A far better choice than Quentin Tarantino, don't you think??
Adam is up first and picks Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. BRILLIANT CHOICE!!!! It would have been too obvious to pick a GNR song so why not go with the original bad asses of rock. Sheer AWESOMENESS!!!!!! America we have our winner and it's Adam! Sure he excels at any genre he does but this is where his passion comes out the best.
Allison hits the stage with Janis Joplin's Cry Baby. Another brilliant song choice. Adam and Allison just get it. They know what song to pick, how to perform it and kill it week in, week out. Of course, people will say she was just doing an impersonation but as we have seen that's her voice and there is no denying that she has that old soul blues voice just like Janis. And she's only 17!!!! SEVENTEEN!!!!!
Before we get to the final two performances, Kris and Danny do the first duet of the night, Styx's Renegade. I have never heard this song before and frankly, don't wish to ever have to experience it again. It was a hot mess! I do like to see that I had the same idea as the producers to do a rock duet, namely, for Allison and Adam's sake. I would love if they did Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford's If I Close My Eyes Forever. That would be amazing.
Kris recovers from that trainwreck of a duet with Danny. I'm not sure that I am crazy about his song choice, The Beatles' Come Together. It was a decent performance but nothing memorable for me. I hate to say it, Kris, but I think you might just land in the bottom two tomorrow night.
Is Danny freaking serious choosing Aerosmith's Dream On????? Sure he has a raspy voice but he has nowhere near the vocals that ballad requires. Awful!!! My ears burn. It reminded me of those office parties where John in accounts gets up on stage after his department begs and pleads for him to do his favorite karaoke tune and the rest of the party just watches cringing inside. Adam could have done this song and made it amazing but nope, Danny, I know it's time we show you the door and after your smug reaction to Simon, don't let the door hit you in the ass. Forget the swine flu, Danny's performance just managed to do permanent damage to millions of eardrums around the globe!
Adam and Allison's duet closes the show and it's Free's Slow Ride. Not sure I am that happy with the song choice but if anyone can make this amazing, it's them. It felt more like a jam than a contrived talent show duet. Good job, kids. I bet Danny is seething backstage after his hideous attempt to parody Adam.
So get thee to the phone lines and develop some carpal tunnel for King Adam and Queen Allison and while you are at it throw some votes Kris' way. It's time Danny goes home! I am fearful though because Vote for the Worst is backing him so please people help take the Gokey out of Idol!
