The Results - Rock - n - Roll Hall of Fame

After weeks of lackluster group performances, it took the music of an amazing Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee to get some energy out of the final four finalists. Steely Dan hit #11 in 1973 with Reeling In The Years and it was actually enjoyable to see the kids bring it to the American Idol stage. The vocals were strong, but it was the well placed choreography that kept the performance fun and entertaining. It was nice to see they could sing and dance at the same time.

With only four finalists remaining it didn't take long for Ryan to reveal that both of the Davids are safely coming back next week in the top 3 while Syesha is once again left hanging in the bottom two. Of course, the good news is that she is there with Jason Castro.

Last year as Blake Lewis glided his way into the finals, he was often compared to Maroon 5, the 2004 Grammy winners for Best New Artist. A full year after hitting #1 with their smash, Makes Me Wonder, they are back on the American Idol stage cranking out another single from their hit album, If I Never See Your Face Again. Too bad we can't say the same thing for Blake's singles. His album, Audio Day Dream, is really good and you should give it a listen if you haven't yet.

Season Four will always go down in history as the year that the Supreme Miss American, Carrie Underwood, was crowned. Think back to 2005 and try and remember who she was standing next to on that stage. It doesn't really matter, because she clearly had no competition, but that season's rocker, Bo Bice managed to get enough votes each week to make the finals. While his first album failed to give him any hits, he's trying again by coming back to the American Idol stage to sing the first single from his second album, Witness. We wish him luck.

There's no reason to drag out the misery any longer. Syesha has survived the bottom two for another week and is joining the Davids in the TOP 3! Jason Castro is finally the lowest vote getter of the week and he is finally going home. He was clearly just as relieved as we are during his incredibly weak performance of I Shot The Sheriff. It's like he's happy he doesn't have to work anymore.

I made only one prediction this week and I am thrilled that I got it right. It's going to be an exciting top 3 next week. Will the Davids have an easy path to the finals or will Syesha knock one of them out with another showstopping performance?
