American Idol Says Goodbye to Allison Iraheta
Well, Fox. You wanted a Danny Gokey/Adam Lambert final and you're gonna get one.
But not before the judges demeaned themselves this week, refusing to criticize Gokey's ear-splitting rendition of "Dream On" and leading the viewers to vote off Allison Iraheta instead.
We're too saddened by this development to even go on. Talk amongst yourself, readers...

The judges' refusal to criticise Danny's singing this week was embarrassing.
Kris wasn't fantastic but he was nowhere near as bad as Danny and was slaughtered by the judges. I daresay he got a certain amount of sympathy votes as a result (though the theory that he may still be in the competition because his fans are using power voting systems that are not approved by AI seems to be picking up momentum).
Allison should not have gone out. Her solo performance was good (though her reprise was even better) and her duet with the out of this world Adam was wonderful.
Ridiculous result.
