American Idol - Who's singing Hit the Road Mack?

Big band week was pretty blah last night. The Rat Pack theme just didn't do it for me and I'm in no mood to watch three guest performances tonight from the likes of former Idol winner, Taylor Hicks, Jamie Foxx and Natalie Cole. So I am racing through the show tonight.

I guess producers thought it would make things more interesting to have Adam pick the group that he thought he belonged to - Danny and Allison (obviously both are safe) or Matt and Kris (the jury is still out on Kris' sudden darkhorse status). Of course, Adam picks Allison and Danny and is quickly corrected by Ryan and physically moved over to the bottom with Matt and Kris. This being reality tv's standout star show I don't doubt for one second that producers rig the bottom three contestants each week. It adds spice after all and keeps us voting and making money for both FOX and AT&T.

After some guest performances, we learn that Kris is safe. I just checked Dial Idol and if they are correct and I know that at this part of the season, it's too close to call using their methods, it should have been down to Matt and Kris, thus, I maintain that this is just a publicity tactic for the show or perhaps Adam already has a recording contract in the works. Personally, I think he should win because he's damn talented but at the same time, I am thinking a non-American Idol related career would be better for him.

Finally the moment of truth and it's a sigh of relief. Matt is hitting the road finally. Can't wait for rock week next Tuesday. Kris and Danny must be shaking in their boots.
