The full analysis is just below, but here's the quick ranking of last night's performances.
I have to believe that Megan is getting sent home tonight. I also won't be surprised to see Allison in the bottom three again, even though she doesn't remotely deserve it. There's even a part of me that's nervous about Allison getting sent home tonight, or at least needing a save to keep her going.
1) Kris Allen - Rather stunning.
2) Adam Lambert - Singing the best counts for a lot.
3) Danny Gokey - Emotional, just like he likes it.
4) Allison Iraheta - She's really, really good.
5) Scott MacIntyre - More "smart" than "good."
6) Lil Rounds - On cruise control, but that's getting risky.
7) Matt Giraud - Could be another tense results show.
8) Anoop Desai - Crashes back to earth.
9) Megan Joy - Vastly inferior.
