Tuesday’s performance night on American idol saw many changes in format taking place. Host Ryan Seacrest declared that owing to the collapse of one of the towers onstage, the Idol contestants had been unable to practice their performances as they do usually. Hence, he said the four Idol wannabes would be singing duets that night, along with their solos.

The theme this week was Rock n Roll. Adam was the first one to take the stage. With his version of “Whole Lot of Love”  he managed to impress both the judges and audience alike. Randy Jackson praised him saying, “You’re a rock star tonight” while Simon Cowell went as far as to say, ”nobody can top that now!”

Allison Iraheta chose to sing Janis Joplin’s song “Cry Baby.” The judges were far from impressed with her choice of song and singing. However, judge Cowell acknowledges that at least her vocal quality is good, while Paula says that she’s fit for the role of Janis Joplin, if any movie is made on her.

The 17-yr old singer’s performance is followed by the first of the night’s duets by Danny Gokey and Kris Allen. The performance was not top-notch stuff, however the judges received it well. Next up was Kris Allen singing “Come Together.” The singer gave a very lukewarm performance, with Kara frankly stating, it was “not a great performance” and Cowell comparing it to eating ice, saying that “it leaves nothing to remember.”

It is Danny’s turn next, however nothing good can be said for his performance. Paula disapproves of his song selection, while Kara said he took the advice to add swagger in his act too seriously. Adam and Iraheta roundup the night singing the duet “Take it Easy.”

Watch out for tomorrow’s result night to know who is eliminated from American Idol this week.
