Going...Gokey...Gone...

I'm glad I didn't make an predictions in my last blog. After last night's "American Idol," I think I was pretty convinced that Danny Gokey was going to be in the finale. Somehow, as I thought about it during the 45 minutes of not anything important on the results show, I decided Kris would be the one to go on. And so he is. Next week we'll have a serious battle - the 13 year old girls vs. the most talented contest Idol has ever seen. 

Even though I loved this last season...

...we'll see if I did that right.

One part of "Idol" I really have not enjoyed on this year is the performances on the results show. First of all, Kelly Clarkson, the supposed best Idol ever, was terrible. She looked pregnant and sang a song she is too old to sing - my life would SUCK without you? A grown woman does not express her feelings in those terms. I was just so disappointed with the performance, especially after Carrie Underwood rocked it with Randy Travis on "I Told You So" weeks before that. Phenomenal performance AND she goes to Africa to help lil babies with malaria. Take that Clarkson. But it wasn't just her; all the "Idol" returnees really did not impress. Jordin Sparks, however, did very well. Perhaps it's because she has a good song to sing? David Archuleta, David Cook, Jennifer Hudson - they all sang things that just sounded generic. Generic pop, rock, and r&b respectively. Lady Gaga was just ridiculous and while Katy Perry's song was cuter, I suppose, I think her performance proved that yeah, she's pretty, but as far as singing goes, Jasmine Murray could take her out pretty easily.
