The voter’s weren’t too happy with Danny Gokey‘s rendition of Terrence Trent D’Arby’s “Dance Little Sister” and  Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful”.  Gokey is down and out leaving the stage exclusively for Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.

Allen was the underdog three week ago but has consistently garnered the praise of the judges and votes of the people.  Randy Jackson liked Allen’s rendition of Kanye West’s “Heartless” so much that he said it was “better than the original”, Simon Cowell was all praise for Allen and said that it made him a contender.

As part of the Rat Pack episode on American Idol last April 28, Adam Lambert sang “Feeling Good” and impressed the judges with his strut-filled entrance. Simon Cowell said that Lambert’s entrance was the “Best entrance we’ve had all year” while Paula Abdul likened Lambert to Olympic Gold medalist Michael Phelps.

And some of Adam’s not so discreet photos of him kissing other guys:

Thoughts?

Adam Lambert’s rendition of Mad World received a standing ovation from American Idol jusge Simon Cowell. Not something you see every episode of American Idol!

The live show ran out of time and only lasted 5 minutes.
