There was quite the shock last night on the American Idol results show and it wasn’t who got voted off. The shock was that American Idol favorite Adam Lambert was in the bottom 3 in votes. Matt Giraud eventually got voted off the show which really was no big surprise. I thought all along that it was going to be Allison Iraheta but that maybe Matt Giraud would go.
The bottom 3 according to what Ryan Seacrest said the votes were was Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud. Do you really believe that Adam Lambert was in the bottom 3 over Allison Iraheta? I don’t believe it either.
I have always said they should show the vote totals but even then that wouldn’t insure there isn’t some kind of funny business going on with the vote totals. You may wonder why they wanted Adam in the bottom 3. Two simple reasons really, first one is to create drama, so the audience will stay tuned in the next 3 weeks. Simon has all but said Adam Lambert is going to win the competition and the producers stuck him in the bottom 3 as a way of saying it’s not so set in stone that Adam’s going to win it all.
The second reason is they want a girl on the show as long as they can. You know it helps the ratings having a girl on the show. No girl on the show means less guys tuning in and also less girls tuning in who wants to see a girl win.

So I think I’m finally beginning to realize its going to be Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey in the final 2 on American Idol. Those 2 were so above the other 3 last night that it as plain to see.
I didn’t really care for the Rat Pack era of songs they were singing, to me they were just to slow and seemed like the temp needed sped up a little. Jamie Foxx as the mentor, I had to laugh at since he just came out with a new movie, The Soloist, pure coincidence I’m sure
So who do I think will be going home tonight? I’m torn between picking Matt Giraud and Allison Iraheta. Like Simon Cowell or not the man does know what hes talking about. He loved Matt last night but said Allison’s time may be coming to an end. So I think I’ll go with Allison Iraheta leaving on the results show tonight.
