"American Idol": Who goes forward

340x.jpgAnother remarkably bad night on America's - the world's! - most popular TV show.

Honestly, there were only two very good performances. A couple of OK ones, and then...

The night fell off the cliff into the ravine.

What's going on with this season of "American Idol"?

Check out Newsday's "Idol" blog a little later this afternoon, when all our resident "Idolistas" put together their picks. Here are my three choices ...Those Who should go on, followed by Who Will Go On...


* Adam Lambert: Did exactly what you have to do at this stage of the comp, which is take a hugely popular song, a hugely familiar one, and turn it into an entertaining Frankenstein's monster. He looked like Elvis, then turned into Clint Black, and finally into Gene Simmons. Oy...But a terrific, stagey and fun outing.

* Allison Iraheta: Again, the formula - take a hugely, ridiculously popular pop song and belt the bugger out. It's a generation-spanning song, known to people in their '80s and people who are 8; smart choice and well performed.

* Jesse Langseth: I was instantly bored with the judge's catty commentary on this one - the woman's got a voice and look and style, and knows how to sing. I think she's interesting too - vocally AND visually. I hope she goes forward.

Now, who will...

* Adam

* Allison

* Matt Giraud: Too bad...
