American Idol Season 8 Top 9:David Cook and Lady Gaga Performed

Tonight’s special guests for Elimination Night for American Idol Season 8 Top 9 were the reigning American Idol David Cook and Lady Gaga. David performed his single “Come Back to Me” and it’s a beautiful song. His debut album has gone platinum - wow!

The Idol wannabes in the Bottom 3 were:
Megan Joy Corkery - who flung her arms in the air as if she were flying over to take a seat. What a kooky girl!
Allison Iraheta - who told host Ryan Seacrest she’d wear her spiky hair again. I think she made it to the bottom 3 because of what the judges said about her appearance. That’s too bad since it should be more about the overall performance.
Anoop Desai - who said he had a feeling he was in the bottom 3 after watching the performances back last night.

Lady Gaga performed her number one single “Poker Face” - what a production! She looked a lot older than 23 on that stage tonight, but it was quite entertaining.The Idol wannabe who received the lowest number of votes and therefore given the boot was:
Megan Joy Corkery - I guess VFTW didn’t come thru for her. I’m relieved! Her singout performance was very strange - the dancing doesn’t help her at all. It’s nothing to look forward to for the folks who are going to be paying for this season’s Idol tour tickets.
