The next three singers have been chosen to join the Top 12 on American Idol, Season 8.

The biggest surprise of the evening was that Brooke White showed up to perform her newly released single. Other than that, the people who performed well and chose the right song were America’s choice, too.

Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert are all through to the next round because of their sensational performances the night before. Allison Iraheta is, by far, the front runner of the three, a close comparison to the first Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson.

Sadly, Norman Gentle did not receive enough votes to make it through, so no more comic relief for viewers. One has to wonder if he has a place in the wild-card round, but we’ll have to wait and see. Simon’s prayers certainly paid off.

Surprisingly, Megan Joy Corkrey did not make it through, despite being a wonderful character and original performer. Again, hopefully some of these singers will have another chance in the wild-card round.

So, we are one step closer to the Top 12. Next week the final batch of Idol-hopefuls will battle it out. Overall, the talent this season is fabulous and the contestants have been a pleasure to watch.
