After 14 weeks of build-up, “American Idol’s” showdown is set. It’s Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen.
SUSAN PIERCE: Watching Adam Lambert’s duet with Allison Iraheta Tuesday night, I really hoped that might be a preview of what was to come in the finals. But that wasn’t to be as Alison got the boot.
CLINT COOPER: And then there were four. Matt Giraud’s exit last week left the competition a pretty terrific quartet. But he was no slouch, either.
T-minus three weeks until the “American Idol” finale and we are now on the hunt for who will go head to head with Adam for the crown.
CLINT COOPER — Tonight, the Hollywood round of the eighth season of “American Idol” begins, and judges have been saying this is the best year of talent ever.
“American Idol” has only finished two weeks of auditions, and already it has its first controversy of the season.
