Adam Lambert performs "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin on "American Idol." (FOX/Ray Michshaw)
It’s ROCK week on American Idol and Slash was the Top Four finalists’ mentor.
Adam Lambert was the first to perform with the song “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin. Randy described Adam’s performance as hot while Kara called Adam a rock god. Paula said the performance was “whole lotta perfect.” On the other hand, Simon jokingly said that the performance was a little “understated” and said that it’s his favorite performance from Adam. He also added that nobody could top his performance.
Allison Iraheta sang next with the song “Cry Baby” popularized by Janis Joplin. Randy didn’t like the song choice but said that Allison can sing. Kara agreed with Randy and said that Allison “becomes larger in life on stage.” Paula described Allison as fearless while Simon said that Allison showed complete confidence, but her version was almost same as the original.
After Adam and Allison performed, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey performed a duet of Styx’s “Renegade.”
Kris Allen performed The Beatles’ “Come Together.” Randy loved the guitar playing and appreciated Kris’ song choice. Kara described the performance to be “trying too hard” and said that it wasn’t Kris’ best performance. Paula said that Kris need more energy. Simon said that Kris Allen’s performance is boring and was like eating an ice for lunch.
Danny Gokey was the last to perform with the song “Dream On” popularized by Aerosmith. Randy gave Danny an A+ for effort but said the performance was not perfect. Kara commended Danny for taking chances. Paula thought it wasn’t the right song for Danny. Simon agreed with the rest of the judges but commented that the last note was like a scene from a horror movie.
Before the show ended, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert performed a duet of “Slow Ride.”
