Top 5, Idol Recap...

Ok, if you watched last night's American Idol on Fox you saw a great show! The Top Five remaining contestants performed last night to try to avoid elimination in the competition...and wow did they ever?

The first singer up last night was Kris Allen singing "The Way You Look Tonight." Kris did a great job with the song, his best performance yet if you ask me. I do think this guy will make a record, but he doesn't possess the vocal talent of a couple of the other contestants.

Next up was Allison Iraheta with "Someone To Watch Over Me." Allison just turned 17 years old this week and man oh man, the sky is the limit for this girl. I think Randy Jackson said it best when he said Allison came out "sounding like Pink, with about nine more octaves" of range! This girl is awesome and I hope she makes it to the finals.

The third contestant out of five to sing was K-Zoo Michigan's Matt Giraud. Matt sang "My Funny Valentine." Due to the fact that Matt is a music major at Western Michigan University, I would have thought that this "Jazz Week" would have been his strong suit. Simon Cowell was the only judge that liked Matt's performance? I would have to agree with the other judges on this one...I didn't think Matt was great. Matt's performance was good, but nowhere near the other competitors' performance last night.

After Matt came Danny Gokey. Danny sang "Come Rain Come Shine" and this guy ripped it up! Danny gave what I thought was his best performance to date. He had the crowd standing and screaming at the end of his song. I didn't really believe this guy to be a true threat of winning up to this point, but after what I saw last night, he may be trying to prove his critics wrong. NICE JOB DANNY!!

And lastly, Adam Lambert belted out ANOTHER stellar performance and captivated the audience performing "Feeling Good" (the muse version). Did you notice I said he was "performing?" I do believe Lambert WAS "showboating" a bit with the last note of his song, but I really can't knock it either.

This guy was awesome again and actually sounds like a young Freddy Mercury (from Queen) to me. Can you see Adam Lambert singing Bohemian Rhapsody? I definitely can. Or how about a cross between Freddy Mercury and Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)? Either way, my opinion has not changed after last night's show, this guy should win this competition hands down.

With that, I am going to pick my top and bottom two contestants. And those are Matt Giraud and Kris Allen at the bottom with Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey at the top. That puts Allison SAFE right in the middle. So who is going home tonight?

You heard it here first, Matt Giraud will be going home after tonight's show. Like I said, his performance was good, but nowhere near the other competitors' on last night's show. And really Matt, who can be upset about being in the Top 5 of American Idol?

It's been an awesome season, it was an awesome show last night, and I honestly can't wait for some of these records to come out of the Top 5...THAT'S IT, EVERYBODY WINS...NOW GET IN THE STUDIO!! 'Til tomorrow...Roberts OUT!
