American Idol heads for the finals

American Idol madness is coming to a close for the season as we found out who would be the Top 2 to perform next week.

To start off the madness tonight, we get Ben Stiller who is just my absolute favorite comedian and actor in the world (sorry was that too much sarcasm?).

Ben tells us that the American Idol desk is headed to the Smithsonian Museum. Other wonderful actors from the new Night At the Museum movie join him. Host Ryan Seacrest then tells us that indeed the desk is headed to the museum.

Ryan prepares us for heartbreak ahead, telling us that there were over 88 million votes with just 1 million separating the Top 2. Then we're off to the Ford Music Video featuring the Top 3 as comic book heroes of some sort while singing "Break My Stride."

If you thought the horror was over after Ben left, you were wrong. Alicia Keys comes, not to sing, but to tell us something very important. Even though we're not doing Idol Gives Back (by making the viewers feel guilty for having a house and food) this year, we still get a plea for money. Alica talks about Keep a Child Alive and tells us about Noah from Rwanda who wants to be a singer. Just hearing about him isn't enough of a guilt trip though, we have to be subjected to his performance of his song. They put an echo behind the song to hide the fact that he can't sing or rap. To give him credit though he only learned the song in English in a week.

Danny Gokey is up first with his video clip of his trip back to Milwaukee. It features lots of screaming girls. Ryan teases us by talking to him about his performance, but won't tell us the results yet. Then Kris Allen is up for his trip back to Arkansas. As I expected, many of his fans don't yet have to worry about acne. Again Ryan teases us but doesn't give us results.

Jordin Sparks returns perform her song "Battlefield" with Ryan from One Republic. It's a crappy song. I'm not sure if it's supposed to sound pitchy or if she just sucks. How did she win?

Adam Lambert comes out to share with us his experiences returning to San Diego. Ryan recaps Adam's performances before making us wait for the final result later.

Katie Perry hits the stage to sing "Waking Up in Vegas." Her cape says Adam Lambert. She's got a sort of Elvis Presley thing going on with her wardrobe.

Finally Ryan stops with the teasing and gets to the results. The first person into the finale is Kris Allen. That leaves either Danny or Adam going home tonight. Adam is on to the finals, Danny is headed home. So next week it comes down to the battle of the teenyboppers and the battle of the not-yet-teenyboppers. Who can text more? My money is on Adam's teenybopper fans.

The American Idol Prediction Contest will be updated with current point totals tomorrow. We will also be posting several bonus questions tomorrow that will be open for voting until Saturday afternoon.

	Um, I'm not sure why people think Adam is one of a kind. I admit he was a great singer, and still can be when he isn't screeching. But I am thinking a lot of Danny votes will go to Kris. I just don't see how they couldnt, because I think of Kris and Danny being on the same page (so to speak). Both down to earth and very humble. They are themselves every single week and have never tried to be anyone else. Adam just tries too hard anymore, and really over does it! Honestlly, I mute the tv now, when he gets on stage. i definately think Kris deserves to be there and definately has the talent to get more votes than Adam. I honestly think it is down to what kind of artist America wants this year. Down to earth Kris? or way out there Adam? Time will tell. GOOD LUCK KRIS!!!

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

Don't stick to just one type of music either--we just go to whoever we know will entertain us. awwww.... you must have screamed for the Beatles!!?

	Guest said: Thank God that grotesque Taylor Hicks-look alike has been given the boot. The plump ugly beast always seeking for sympathy deserves to be given that boot. No one can stand his hideous dance and pot-bellied moves. I couldn't figure out who you meant! Danny looks like Taylor Hicks? Not even close!! (Actually he looks like Robert Downey, Jr.) I agree with the bad moves, but he is a good singer (as long as it isn't rock..lol) I hope Adam will win, but I'm afraid all the Danny votes will go to Kris. As Simon says, don't assume Adam will win, be sure to vote. And be sure and vote 2 X more than you would have! And that means you have to watch it live... when the voting is still open! I'm just glad we will be able to hear Adam sing 3 songs Tuesday night.

	many people think Adam will win but if you watch more carefully you will see that Kris always had more votes than Adam. that why Danny was out. Kris's family may be did something but who knows???????
