Summary
"American Idol" - Top 3 Results Show- May 13, 2009
Ryan tells us that only one million votes separate the top two vote-getters.
In the Audience: Kevin Bacon; David Alan Grier; the rest of the top ten
Ford Commercial: "Break My Stride," Matthew Wilder. The boys are cartoon characters and then they're real, tooling around in a, you guessed it, Ford.
Alicia Keys is in the house to ask us to pledge money via text to aid Africa and introduce us to Noah from Rwanda who wants to make an album to help those afflicted by HIV/AIDS in his country. He comes out and sings "I'm The World's Greatest." He is lip synching but he's adorable.
Video Package: Gokey's Hometown Visit to Milwaukee The standard issue visit: police escort, screaming fans, Fox morning show appearance, screaming fans, radio show appearances, screaming fans, a reunion with good buddy Jamar, parade, screaming fans, show, screaming fans, Mayor declares it Danny Gokey day, first pitch, screaming fans, teary limo ride. Lather, rinse, and repeat below.
Results: He recaps Danny's performances from last night...and then sends him to the couches without telling him who's in the finale.
Video Package: Kris' Hometown Visit to Little Rock Yup, same stuff. He actually goes home to his parents' house and greets his own big family on the lawn and he hugs his dad tight. It's sweet. We actually get a shot of him singing "Falling Slowly." So far, numbers-wise it seems like Kris is winning the hometown visit derby.
Again Ryan sends Kris to the couch, results-free.
Performance: Jordin Sparks, "Battlefield." Ryan Tedder, co-songwriter, is playing piano in the band. It's a Ryan Tedder special: piano, surging midtempo rhythm track and Jordin kills it all intense-like.
Video Package: Adam's Hometown Visit to San Diego Same stuff, except he had a streaker. And he went to sing for the Marines, which is nice. Kris is definitely the hometown visit derby winner.
Ryan sends Adam to the couch. Danny wants to get it over with, Adam wants to see Katy Perry.
Performance: Katy Perry, "Waking Up in Vegas." Katy is rocking an Elvis-like leotard jumpsuit with a cape that reads "Adam Lambert" on the back. She's surrounded by Vegas-style fan dancers. Not a great singer but very cute.
Going Home: In something of an upset, Danny Gokey. And the final face-off will be as it should be. Gokey watches his journey and takes to the microphone again for "You Are So Beautiful."
