I've long maintained that one reason for the long string of successful artists to come out of Idol is that they essentially go through boot camp in the course of the show. USA Today has a good article about that, with this year's top three.
Meanwhile... if the top three end up being Adam, Danny, Kris -- in that order -- TeKay's gonna wipe the floor with the rest of us. I haven't run all the math, but at first glance I think Mo stands to win if it's Adam, Kris, Danny. If Danny actually wins this thing, Pam should as well. I'm not really sure what would happen if Kris pulled an upset, though I actually find that more likely than the Danny scenario; it'd probably depend on the order of the other two.
This should all be much more clear cut after we find out who leaves tonight. Read on!
Missed the beginning, being otherwise occupied.
Danny and Kris recaps.
Jordan Sparks performs her new single, "Battlefield." Pretty good!
Adam recap.
Katy Perry performs her new single, "Waking Up In Vegas." ...wearing a cape with "Adam Lambert" on it? Over a sort of collared deep-V-neck leotard inspired by 70s Elvis's jumpsuit? Ohhhhhkaaaay...
Kris is safe!
Down to Danny and Adam... and... Adam is in the finale. Suck it, Danny!
...umm, I mean, sorry about that, Danny...
Kara's mike is off, but she clearly mouths "oh my God."
Next week: Adam's manifest destiny vs. Kris's stepping up and clawing his way to the top. This has actually just become interesting again.
Mo Pie gets 8 points; Jesse and I get 4; Pam gets 1.

it's actually how I wanted it to "end", but didn't get a chance to vote because of points.
I'm so sick of being a bridesmaid.
YOU XTIAN MUSIC LOVERS PISS ME OFF! LOL.
I actually thought that Danny was horrible last night, as was Adam's second song. Sucks to have never been in the bottom and get shanked at the last minute huh danny boy.
I actually think Kris may pull it off as being the MOST relevant Idol since....kellly. I mean, his two songs were solid pop and accessible.
