American Idol Season 8: Danny vs Adam Round 12





The situation now in the top 3 is kind of interesting and unpredictable. Kradam (Kris and Adam) fan base had grown into a critical mass that it became dangerous for both Adam and Danny. The Kradams are desperate for a Kris and Adam final two and these people will vote like crazy just to get rid of Danny out in the competition. Danny’s smooth cruising from constant over pimping is heading for a big bump of backlash this week. Other major factors for his precarious situation are his previous weak performances and last week’s now world famous horror screech from his “Dream On” performance dubbed as one of the worst performance in American Idol history.

The contestant’s song choice is kind of tricky. This part of the competition supposedly gave the opportunity for the contestants to show people who they are as an artist. Many contestants from previous seasons failed to play well in this category which resulted into their elimination. However, I believe Danny succeeded in this round based on his song choice. He chooses “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker which is good because it showed Danny as a soul, gospel and RnB type of an artist. He delivered the song very well too and I thought it was better than any of his performances from previous weeks.

Meanwhile, rock route is where Adam is heading as an artist based on his song choice. He chosed the song “Cryin” by the famous Steve Tyler from the rock band Aerosmith. In his performance, something went terribly wrong with Adam’s earpiece because when he was singing the song he removed it from his ear. Also, the backup singer’s screeching overpowered Adam’s vocals and it ruined Adam’s performance, hmm... maybe a little bit. All the judges assumed Adam will sail through the top 3 round and I understand that because Adam as simply the best vocalist in the competition so it’s very easy for us to think that way. But Simon clearly stated that the only way for Adam to go to the final 2 is for his fans to pick up the phone and vote for him.
