American Idol on Wednesday night saw the contestants being brought down to the final two. At the beginning of the show host Ryan Seacrest declared that there was a difference of 1 million votes between the top 2 finalists.

With everyone gripped by edge-of-the seat suspense, Danny Gokey was finally declared to be the voter’s choice for elimination. This was unfortunate because the 29 -year old has never featured in the bottom three, throughout the past weeks. The noteworthy singer presented his rendition of  Joe Cracker’s You are so Beautiful as his final goodbye to the judges and audience on Idol. Danny is a music teacher and a Church music director and hails from Milwaukee.

The show also featured footage of the three contenders-Danny, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on their hometown visits(following American Idol tradition).This gave the audience a chance to catch glimpses of Adam in San Diego, Kris in central Arkansas and Danny in Milwaukee.

The audience were also treated to performances by season 6 winner Jordin Sparks, who chose to present the song Battlefield and Katy Perry who gave her version of Waking Up in Vegas. The latter drew attention for her dress which showed Adam Lambert’s name in eye-catching embroidery across the back.

Watch the Two finalists- 23 year old Kris Allen and 27-year old Adam Lambert battle it out for the top spot in American Idol next week.
