American Idol is dwindling down to an almost halt soon. Last week, Allison Iraheta was shown the door, even though her performance was much better than Danny Gokey’s.

On Tuesday night’s show, the judges selected a song for each singer to perform. Afterwards, the guys got to choose their own song.

Danny Gokey was up first and sang Terrence Trent D’Arby’s song, “Dance Little Sister”, as chosen by Paula Abdul, for the crowd.

His voice sounded really strained singing this song. I am not a fan of this version at all.

After Danny’s performance, Kris Allen took the stage to perform One Republic’s “Apologize”, as chosen by Randy Jackson.

This was a nice slow song and it was definitely a good song choice for Kris. I hope to see him in the finale of the show, alongside Adam Lambert.

Speaking of Adam, Simon Cowell chose U2′s song, “One” for him to sing. I’m not a fan of this version of the song at all. I really like U2 and this song is old school. It wasn’t the best song choice for Adam, in my opinion.

After the judge’s choice, the guys were able to sing a song of their own choice.

Danny started off again, singing Joe Cocker’s song, “You Are So Beautiful” and it reeked! This guy needs to go home already. It’s over for Gokey. Vote Gokey off of the island already. He already hosed up Allison’s chances.

Kris then tore up the stage with Kanye West’s song, “Heartless”. I’m not a huge fan of Kanye’s, but the song was good for Kris and he seemed to do pretty well for himself with it. Maybe he’ll make it to the final two because of this song.

And last but not least, Adam sang Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” and he murdered it. Do you think he’s doing that on purpose? I love Aerosmith, but to hear what he did to the song, it should be against the law.
