American Idol Top 3 - Season 8

The American Idol Top 3 contestants for season 8 are finally known: Adam Lambert aka Glambert, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen. After the results on may 6 2009, Allison Iraheta was eliminated. I remember last year reading a comment from a fan who said that Jason Castro and Brooke White were the male and female version of the same person. This season I read someone saying that Danny Gokey and Kris Allen are the same person, same background and same history.

The Brooke White/Jason Castro analogy rang truer than the Danny Gokey/Kris Allen. Both Jason and Brooke played instruments on the show and their "artistry" as Kara DioGuardi would put is what kept them in the competition for as long as they lasted, Jason looks did help him too and that's why he went farther than Brooke. This year we saw Kris Allen play both the guitar an the piano, what did Danny Gokey play? That's right, nothing! Danny Gokey is playing the nice guy card after playing the grieving widower card. Kris is mostly playing the cute-under-ther-radar-ordinary-guy card.

I've never been a Danny Gokey fan but I can't deny that the man knows what he's doing when it comes to singing. Kris knows what he's doing when it comes to playing his instruments, I'm not so sure about his singing though. Since Danny Gokey and Kris Allen have so much in common they probably share part of their voters. This only means that it's harder for both of them to get more votes than Adam since he has a totally different fan-base. Especially Danny. Adam is a bigger competition to Danny than Kris has been so far. Remember, Danny Gokey has never been in the bottom three ever, not even last night.

Adam Lambert has it easy. He's in a category of his own and does not have/need to win votes from either Kris Allen or Danny Gokey. Yet the danger for him would be if one of those guys looses most of his votes could go directly to the other one... I think.

Yet, I know one Adam Lambert fan who also thinks Danny Gokey is good even though he wishes Adam wins. Yet, that fan does not read American Idol News and blogs on the Internet...
