If you thought that country night would cause the remaining American Idol contestants to put on their boots, you must have been surprised. And let's begin where the majority of the discussion has been today: Adam Lambert.
Was Adam Lambert's version of "Ring Of Fire" country? Of course not. But much like David Cook a year ago and Chris Daughtry a few seasons back, Adam is the most original artist on the show. This was an absolutely amazing performance; one that will be remembered weeks from now. My original pick to win the competition is Danny Gokey. But if Adam Lambert continues on this path, there will be no stopping him.
Matt Giraud's version of Carrie Underwood's "So Small" was, in my estimation after Adam Lambert, the best performance of the night. Matt is showing that he's in the competition for real.
On the womens side, kudos to 16 year old Allison Irahita who performed PattyLoveless's "Blame It On Your Heart." Perhaps the best performance by a woman this week. And a top of the hat for flu-stricken Megan Joy, who worked her way through and sang "Walkin After Midnight" admirably.
Michael Sarver, who opened the show, should be the one that goes this week. We'll see.
