Last night American Idol Top 3 start with Danny Gokey going all out on the key on Trent D'Arby's "Dance Little Sister” though he tries to be as energetic as he can. He has hit his on road block on the vocal. His highest note is not high enough to carry the song to the highest energy.
Then came Kris Allen, who rendition of the much listened One Republic’s “Apologize” is less than flattering. Great effort to do it on a piano on himself but the vocal is not up to the par. Though he tried to switch the falsetto part to his own but fail to impress indeed.
Adam start the rendition of U2’s “One” with a soft and tender note. In fact the start is even better than Bono. Then he switch to his signature high range for Mary J. Blidge’s part of the songs and nail every note and even create some riffs of his own. Then closing it with a tender gesture at the end. Perfect performance. I must say that’s the best any contestant have done on a song so difficult to maneuver.
The middle section of the show shows Carrie Underwood journey on promoting and helping the Idol Gives back on the past years. (the segment of the show is not done this year due to the Economic Crisis.)
Danny came back on to rendition his take on the classic Joe Cocker's version of "You Are So Beautiful”. He took liberty in changing the melody of the song and to tell the truth the change is not as good as the original. He also missed on a couple of the crucial notes of the songs that’s define the sentiment of the classic for centuries. So, with 2 just OK performance, I don’t know if it’s gonna get him into the finale.
Kris Allen takes on another monster of the night to perform on a guitar and unplugged of Kanye West’s “Heartless”. It is a totally different take on the songs, the judges love the creativity and Simon even recognized it as a vocal master class. Personally I think there’s still some improvements on Kris part both on vocal and control of nerves and confidence on the stage. It is effecting his performance. He just have to drop whatever that worries him and let loose. And go into the zone when he is doing “His Thing” over a month ago.
Adam take on the Aerosmith classic’s “Crying” is close enough to the beat. I mean it’s shadowed in comparison with the first performance. His note change is not as right on point than the original version. So there’s not much to see there. But I must say all 3 contestants finish…… Adam is at the top spot, with just the first performance, he’d earn his right to be in the finale. Regardless what happen next.
It will be a fight between the instrumental and artistic Kris Allen and the vocal master Danny tonight.
I must say if Danny Go through tonight then next week there would be no surprise that Adam will have gotten the throne, that is if there’s no surprise broken down on Adam part, because if it comes down to vocal, there’s no compare to Adam. But if it’s Kris, there’s still some curve ball of instrumental and unplugged performance that he can take liberty of, and it’d be a more interesting show to watch too.
So will see in a couple of hours, who will be going to the finale.
From last night’s performance, my take is Adam and Danny.
But from the desire of how a finale should be it’d be Adam and Kris.
