"Idol" Finalists Perform Rock Hits

The top four "American Idol" contestants vied for the final three spots tonight, performing classic rock songs and pairing up for duets.

Adam Lambert, wearing a leather jacket and showing more than a little chest, kicked the night off with the first Led Zeppelin song performed on "Idol," MTV News reports. Kara DioGuardi raved that he was "more than a rock star, you're a rock GOD!" The Twitterverse agreed, as "Adam Lambert" was the number one trending topic shortly after the show.

  1. Heather Shannon
    heathershannon loved Adam Lambert's version of Whole Lotta Love by Zeppelin...he rocks!
  2. mariska barnett
    mariskavh Adam Lambert was awesome tonight!!
  3. Jenn Rabern
    vampjenn Adam Lambert singing a whole lot of love, was amazing!
  4. Neika Macdowall
    nneeiikkaa Adam lambert killed it tonight, holy f***ing sh**.


17-year-old Allison Iraheta channeled Janis Joplin with the iconic "Cry Baby," and also rocked a new long hairdo courtesy of Lambert's hair stylist. Simon Cowell commended Iraheta on her growth, but said she "tried too hard to sound like the original." Twitterers responded lukewarmly.

  1. Bethany Rayle
    bethanyrayle Although I didn't think Allison was as good as she could have been this week and it wouldn't surprise me if she's sent home instead...
  2. Emma Rappaport
    JewieJewjew Voting for Allison via text. At least maybe she can come in second.
  3. Jenn Rabern
    vampjenn Allison iraheta has a great voice but she wont win. im getting a little bored of her

Danny Gokey and Kris Allen were the first pair to sing a duet, performing Styx's "Renegade." Randy Jackson said they "complemented each other greatly," while Cowell simply said, "Danny, you were better than Kris." Twitter users agreed that tonight was not Allen's night, with mixed reviews on his solo performance of "Come Together" by the Beatles.

  1. David Henderson
    damndavestfu Kris Allen is the man but he sucked tonight
  2. Danielle
    Born_4_Broadway Goodbye, Kris Allen. (probably)
  3. Dawn Bloom
    BeachBloom think Kris Allen is going home on American Idol
  4. Brian
    mapex_drummer @melissxo I voted a ton for Kris Allen. I didn't think it was bad either, I actually liked it.

Gokey sang (and screamed) Aerosmith's "Dream On." Although the judges weren't huge fans of Gokey's venture into a new genre, Cowell still said that he believed Gokey would be safe. Tonight's tweets didn't seem to agree, however.

  1. Delanae Lindstrom
    delanae Something about Danny Gokey that bothered me from the start. He may be a great guy / good singer, but he's no Adam Lambert!
  2. Xavier Rubiano
    XavRub Just listened to Danny Gokey's performance on Idol and now my ears are bleeding.
  3. Eric Lopez
    eriiclopez "he broke his back thats why hes screaming !!!" -lexy's dad about danny gokey's performance! hahah.

The show ended on a high note with Lambert and Iraheta's duet, rocking out Foghat's "Slowride." Cowell enthused that the two rockers were the duet-off champs, and the Twitterverse agreed, raving about the performance.

  1. Greg
    irgth Voted for Adam. Hoping for Adam/Allison finale. Dissapointed that ITunes doesn't get the Adam/Allison duet. #idol
  2. Claire Teodoro
    crazyclaire18 Allison & Adam's duet was amazing! And since I love the song "Slow Ride" it made me love the performance moooooore.
  3. John Lam
    john_lam Adam and Allison duet was *the* highlight of #idol tonight!
  4. Seth
    SethintheCity Adam & Allison's duet was so good. Loved it!


Check back tomorrow to see what people are tweeting about the "Idol" results show, including Paula Abdul's debut of her new single!

"American Idol" Top Five Perform Rat Pack Standards

The final five contestants on "American Idol" sang classic Rat Pack era standards for tonight's performance show. American Music Award winner Jamie Foxx appeared as the guest mentor and told Kris Allen, the first to perform, "You're my number one!"

The judges were also fans of Allen tonight, with Randy Jackson saying his version of "The Way You Look Tonight" was his "best yet". "Idol" devotees tweeted their agreement (even though they got the spelling of his name wrong!).

  1. jasonscottadams
    jasonscottadams If I was a chick, I'd stalk Chris Allen. He was spectacular tonight. Wow. Best performance yet for him on AI.
  2. mltolbert
    mltolbert #Chris #Allen is really talented. Yes, this is good. I would definitely buy the album.
  3. Olga Mariela
    omarilu was wowed by Chris Allen...
  4. rory kalmar
    RotoKantus was just watching American Idol.... I loves me some Chris Allen

Allison Iraheta performed "Someone To Watch Over Me," to mostly good reviews from the judges, but Simon Cowell said she was a 7 out of 10 and told her, "I have a horrible feeling you might be in trouble tonight." Allison fans in the Twitterverse responded by encouraging others to vote for her.

  1. Nastia Liukin Fan
    Nastialiukinfan @AllisonOfficial Allison, you were amazing. I've been voting for you the whole time. gotta keep voting! =]
  2. Heather Gauthier

  4. Gabriella Medina
    LLHGAfan VOTE FOR ALLISON!! SHE'S THE BEST!

Matt Giraud's performance of "My Funny Valentine" got mixed reviews from Twitterers as well as the judges, with Randy calling him "pitchy" and Simon saying he was "brilliant."

  1. Amanda
    CompanyWoman Ok America, I am seriously tired of having to mute and fast forward through Matt Giraud. Please make it stop. #americanidol
  2. Stephanie Gelletta
    stephgelletta I just voted for Matt Giraud 480 plus times, SWEET!
  3. Hal Fuquay
    azbigdaddy Matt Giraud was fairly good. Just nothing special. No breakout moment or anything memorable. 3 key changes in one song? #idol
  4. Kara M
    KaraMofay Dear Matt Giraud, thanks for BUTCHERING one of my favorite songs of all time.

Danny Gokey had a "stellar" performance, according to Paula Abdul. Tweeps also raved about his rendition of "Come Rain or Come Shine."

  1. Hal Fuquay
    azbigdaddy Finally, Danny Gokey stepped up and WHAM! he hit it out of the park. What a great job he did. He used all he had to give and it paid off.
  2. Rachel Gorman
    RaeGorman Yes, i agree with Paula. They were all great but still love it when Danny Gokey sings them tunes!
  3. Jason Perkins
    jdperkins1369 just finished Idol.. Danny Gokey is amazing!
  4. jason rajtar
    rajtar Danny Gokey ROCKS! Wish I had half his voice...so does my wife.

Adam Lambert closed out the show with a rock version of "Feeling Good." Abdul called him the "Michael Phelps" of the contest and most Twitterers also thought he was tonight's champ.

  1. Michelle Tarin
    WickedPhx98 OMG Adam is so good, I like that it had the Michael Buble kinda vibe/take on it. He so has this competition in the bag!!!!
  2. worldtweeter
    worldtweeter @patrickem Love him or hate him, Adam Lambert is very talented and artistic. I think he is in a class all by himself.
  3. Michelle Rowen
    michellerowen Thought Adam's performance on idol was a smidge too campy for me, but he really can do no wrong.
  4. Rob Bishop
    RobBishop1 American Idol: Danny was really good. But, yet again, Adam blew it out of the water with his very dramatic and unusual interpretation.

Ryan Seacrest also revealed next week's theme on his Twitter tonight, prompting responses from his followers.

  1. Ryan Seacrest
    RyanSeacrest next week theme is rock and roll on idol btw...what r u doing i'm having a cold smoothie for dinner
  2. Leslie
    livelyleslie @RyanSeacrest I'm excited for next week. Yay. Thanks for telling us the theme. :)
  3. Amanda Sales
    Scamandalous @RyanSeacrest Are they going to sing two songs each next week?
  4. Howard Cohen
    HowardCohen @RyanSeacrest If next week's American Idol theme is rock, they HAVE to keep lil rocker Allison! Adam Lambert, of course, will kill 'em.

Tomorrow night, the contestant with the lowest votes will be sent home. Be sure to come back here to see how the Twitterverse responds!
