'Idol': Three More Continue to Top 12

Posted on February 27, 2009

"American Idol" is one step closer to completing the Top 12!

Twelve contestants took the stage on Wednesday night in hopes of moving on to the next round of the competition, but only three singers would continue. Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert made the cut and are one step closer to becoming the next "American Idol."

Kris Allen was first to move forward in the competition. Simon Cowell says tweens will soon tire of the Jonas Brothers and could make the 23-year-old Arkansas college student the next big sensation.

Allison Iraheta was chosen second. The 16-year-old high school junior from Los Angeles is being compared to "Idol" season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson. Allison stands out from the crowd with her dyed red locks and funky style. After being selected, Iraheta said, "I'm just so friggin' happy right now!"

The moment of suspense came when Adam Lambert went head-to-head with funnyman Nick Mitchell. Nick calls his comical performing persona Norman Gentle, but Simon was not impressed. Simon confessed to Ryan Seacrest that he had prayed "for about five or six hours non-stop" that Nick would be out. Simon's prayers were answered and Adam joined the top 12.

The final group of 12 of the Top 36 contestants will perform for America's vote this Wednesday on "American Idol."

I don’t care if he’s f*cking goats. His music is his music.

Talent is talent, it has nothing to do with sexual oreintation or what race a person is.

May the best person win.

How is Adam being gay going to interfere with his singing? He’s got talent and strong lungs that would blow a whale out of the water…lol ….so does that chick Allison….she also has strong lungs. The viewers or the fans know who to vote for and they will pick the most deserving person as the next american idol. not to worry

I can’t put my finger on it, but he has a bit of Elvis in him. Notice how he smiles and sort of flirts while singing. And his eyes remind me of Elvis’s. Not that anyone could ever take his place. But I was just wondering if anyone else sees this. Anyway he is good, hot and might just win.
