American Idol - Season 8 -
4 Finalists Compete

This week is Rock week. Guns N' Roses' guitarist Slash will be appearing. We also will be getting duets from the contestants which will be interesting. Whatever you have to do to fill an hour I guess.

Adam Lambert leads off by dressing like David Bowie and singing "Whole Lotta Love". He is supposed to be a rock singer so this should be good for him. He's pretty boring though, sounds like every other song he has done.

Allison is singing "Cry baby" which is a bit disappointing because it comes off too much like Allison is copying Janis Joplin. She should be making her own sound and persona. That's not saying she did a bad job, she did good but it was just predictable.

Kris and Danny then do their duet, "Renegade". Kris struggles with the rock style while Danny seems at home with it. Kris is definitely not a rock singer and needs to stick with his serenading style instead.

Kris is choosing "Come Together" tonight. This is coming off as a disaster to me. I struggle to find even one thing I like about it.

Danny chose "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Not a bad rendition but not great either.

Allison and Adam close the show by taking us on a "Slow Ride". Lucky for us Adam found his spandex striped pants for this show. They actually play off of each other very well with the similar vocal style and voices. Adam gets too screechy for me as usual but other than that it was very good.

Judging by tonight only, Kris should be heading home.
