do we rock (ai08: rock)

After taking Matt Giraud off the running, Idol is now down to its last four contestants. On today's show, Ryan Seacrest announced that it was Rock Week and Slash will be their mentor. It should be expected that Adam Lambert will get more ass-kissing than the usual. You know he loves it.

DUETS

ADAM LAMBERT AND ALLISON IRAHETA / Slow Ride. Fine. They're the night's prom queens.

KRIS ALLEN AND DANNY GOKEY / Renegade. It's really hard to enjoy watching Kris Allen while Danny Gokey, who sounded way off the entire song, stood there with him.

SOLO

ADAM LAMBERT / Whole Lotta Lovin'. It was basically what Lambert has been doing for the past thirteen weeks or so but for the first time, yes to his screeching...

KRIS ALLEN / Come Together. I never liked Come Together as a contest piece because I think it's a rather lazy song but there's just something about this sweet, angelic-faced kid that made me appreciate it. His performance was rather good considering that he delivered with flawless vocals while playing the guitar. Nevertheless, I still fear that it was too forgettable.

ALLISON IRAHETA / Cry Baby. I am apathetic to Iraheta's performance this week. It just didn't do anything to me at all.

DANNY GOKEY / Dream On. ...and a big horrendous no to Gokey's. That last note was so ridiculous. If he stays after that wreck, I may have to give up trying to understand America's irrational love for this man.
