American Idol Reveals the Top 3 of Season 8

Allison Iraheta is going home.

Tonight American Idol revealed the top 3 contestants of Season 8. Remaining in the show are Danny Gokey, Chris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert.

The finalists performed a group song, “School’s Out,” with Slash on the guitar and Paula Abdul performed for the first time on the American Idol stage.

Paula showed us she still can dance and sing, wearing a brief little costume, singing “I’m just here for the Music,” showing the audience she’s still got it going.

Gwen Stefani of the group No Doubt also performed “Just a Girl” and included with her song and dance routine 5 push-ups man-style. The girl is gorgeous.

Lastly, Chris Daughtry, a finalist from Season Five, gave us a new single from his “Leave this Town” record.

Now, how’d the contestants do? Chris Allen is safe. Adam is safe (of course), Danny is safe (surprise).

I was almost brought to tears to learn that Allison is going home. She's a star and we will probably be hearing from her again very soon. I have absolutely no clue as to why Danny Gokey is still on the show and Allison is voted off. The difference in talent is as clear as comparing a mole hill to a mountain. Right in front of your eyes.

With her last song, that Janis Joplin number, “Cry Baby”, she is powerful, her emotions belt out the song. It’s from the heart. Here's a true artist before your eyes. It was probably the best performance of a “goodbye song” any contestant has ever sung before they depart the American Idol stage. She’s an artist we haven’t heard the last of. You could watch the judges, Simon looked a little pissed off that she’s been voted off and I’m sure, at the same time, he sees in her the star she really is. Kara, Paula and Randy are worshipping this young songstress as she sings. I guess the world is full of stupid surprises...

So our finalists, Chris, Adam and Danny G get to go home to their heroes’ welcome home event.

I know for sure who’s going home next on American Idol, unless the world is really full of stupid surprises.
