Adam Lambert and Kris Allen were ready to battle it out on the Nokia Theater stage. Who would prevail - acoustic rock or glam rock? The guy-next-door or guyliner? You could tell this was going to be a big night because Simon was wearing a blazer.
Di Final kali ini, Adam dan Kris masing2 akan membawakan 3 lagu, salah satu lagu dari penampilah sebelumnya, yang menurut mereka paling baik ; lagu pilihan Simon Fuller ; dan lagu baru yang ditulis juga oleh Kara. Lagu baru ini akan dibawakan oleh Sang Juara. Lagu Penampilan TerbaikA trench coated figure emerged from a smoky stage, and it was Adam Lambert kicking off the night with a reprise of "Mad World." The judges loved the song, but thought the performance was a little too theatrical this time.Kris Allen's parents used to pay him a quarter to sing in public, but that rate will probably change after this whole Idol experience! Forgoing the smoke for a piano, Kris Allen sang "Ain't No Sunshine" as he tickled the ivory. The judges loved this performance and Simon declared Kris the leader after round 1.Lagu Pilihan Simon FullerSimon Fuller chose for Adam to sing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come." Adam used his entire vocal range on this song, and expressed a great deal of emotion while performing. The judges thought he was unbelievable and declared that Adam was back in the game.
The song Simon Fuller picked for Kris is Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." Kris put the Allen stamp on the song by singing a more mellow version of the song that Simon thought was like 3 friends strumming away in their bedroom. Yes, a bedroom with an amazing sound system that holds thousands of people.Round Two : AdamLagu Baru This year's Idol coronation song was co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi and called "No Boundaries." Adam was the first to sing it on stage, and he put his rock 'n roll stamp on it. Kara was in awe after hearing someone so talented sing her song. Despite laughing at the lyrics, Simon said that Adam is a worldwide star.
Kris closed the night with a pop take on "No Boundaries." Randy thought the song suited him well, and the judges collectively thought Kris deserved to be at the finale.While America was deciding, Carrie Underwood took the stage to sing this year's goodbye song, "Home Sweet Home." As clips from the entire season played in the background, it's evident we've come along way from bad auditions to the two amazing performers that sang their hearts out on the Nokia Theater stage.
Di episode American Idol yang ke 300, bertepatan dengan the first ever all male final 3, semua kontestan pulang ke kampung halaman masing2 untuk bertemu keluarga dan untuk mengetahui lagu apa yang dipilih oleh judges untuk mereka. Mereka juga akan tampil dengan lagu pilihan sendiri.Lagu Pilihan JudgesIn Milwaukee, Danny Gokey found out that Paula chose Terence Trent D'Arby's "Dance Little Sister" for him to sing. Despite not knowing the song, Danny looked confident as he performed. Simon criticized his dance moves, but Paula defended them.
While in Arkansas, and while wearing a smudge of blue nail polish, Kris Allen learned that Randy & Kara chose OneRepublic's "Apologize." The judges called Kris' performance competent, but not original. Simon criticized Randy & Kara for not suggesting a more creative arrangement.
Looking for an excuse to have tea time with Bono, Simon selected U2's "One" for Adam Lambert. The mood of the performance was enhanced with blue light and swaying arms. Kara said Adam is an amazing strategist, and Simon patted himself on the back for "a brilliant song choice."
Lagu Pilihan PesertaDanny Gokey decided to sing Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" in a stripped down way with just a stool and some string instruments. The judges enjoyed seeing this side of Danny, and Randy said that Danny showed he can really (times 3) sing.Kris Allen gave the judges what they wanted when he sang an acoustic version of Kanye West's "Heartless." The judges were very pleased with Kris' performance, and Randy even thought this version was better than The Fray's version and better than Kanye's version.
Adam Lambert closed out the night with Aerosmith's "Cryin'." He stuck closely to the original song and let his vocal range shine. The judges met Adam with rave reviews, but Adam replied by saying he's just honored to share the stage with the wonderful two men that just sang before him.Hanya 1 juta suara yang memisahkan 2 contestant yang selamat.

Di Top 4 Performance ini ada yang baru......selain membawakan lagu secara solo, mereka juga tampil duet...pasangannya....Adam & Allison, Kris & Danny.
Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love by Led ZeppelinSimon said that the bar was set so high, "nobody can top that now.Adam tampil sebagai peserta pertama dengan rambut baru. Peserta pertama yang nyanyi lagunya Led Zeppelin di Idol neh......O ya, Rock Week adalah tema yang ditunggu2 oleh Adam, dan hasilnya......well...komentar Simon sudah cukup menggambarkan.Allison Iraheta - Cry Baby by Janis JoplinThe judges appreciated Allison's vocals but not her song choice, and Allison wasn't afraid to give them a piece of her mind.Allison tampil dengan rambut sedikit beda, ada highlight warna ungu di rambut merahnya....Setelah penampilan solo dari Adam dan Allison, Kris & Danny tampil duet dengan lagu Renegade by StyxThe judges liked the parts where the two sang together better than when they sang apart. Hopefully these two would be able to sing well separately during their solos.Kris Allen - Come Together by The BeatlesThe judges gave Kris mixed reviews, saying they appreciated his artistry, but Simon thought it was "a bit like having ice for lunch."Waktu sesi latihan, Kris dipinjami gitarnya Slash, neh komennya : "I almost wanted to pee my pants." hehehehe......
Satu lagi komentar aneh simon.....
Danny Gokey - Dream On by AerosmithSimon thought the scream was like something out of a horror movie, although he doesn't think it will affect Danny's impressive record of never landing in the bottom 3.It's definitely not Danny's kinda song.....dan bener... diakhir lagu ada teriakan a la Steven Taylor, kaget juga dengernya....Sebagai penutup, duet Adam & Allison menyanyikan Slow Ride by FoghatAdam and Allison blew away the judges with their performance and Kara appreciated how they were pushing each other to become better.
Happy 34th belated birthday Becks....
Kaget juga waktu liat dia dateng ke Emirates di semifinal UCL lawan Arsenal. Becks datang di awal babak kedua.
Sempat diliatin juga reaksi Becks setelah gol ke 3 MU......
Well...MU is the club that he loves...and we love you too Becks.
Kalo liat foto di atas, Becks juga masuk ke dressing room para pemain MU, ketemu ama sohibnya Gary Neville yang malam itu gak main (sebelah kiri) dan ngobrol ama Giggs (sebelah kanan).
