4. Danny Gokey: (Last week: No. 4) He's the only season 8 finalist never to land in the bottom three, and he's coming off hands-down his best performance of the season, a powerful take on "Come Rain or Come Shine." So what's he doing at the bottom of the list? Well, for starters, his voting bloc may be more complacent than those of his recently-in-jeopardy rivals. And secondly, Rock & Roll Week seems a less natural fit for him than it does for Adam, Allison, and even Kris. With Simon slipping off his bandwagon on Disco Night and Movie Night, he'll need to avoid the harp, and deliver another powerhouse performance, to make good on Paula's repeated "See you in the finals!" prediction. Any way you slice it, though, this week's gonna be a wild race!1. Adam Lambert: (Last week: No. 2) While at first glance, the presumed front-runner's appearance in the bottom two last week would indicate a bumpy road ahead, in actuality, it might be the best thing that ever happened to him. Indeed, that sound you hear is The Glambert Nation practicing its speed-dialing exercises in preparation for Tuesday night's festivities. A "Mad World" level performance would probably carry him straight to the final two, but anything on par with his second-tier performances (say, "Born to Be Wild") should be more than enough to survive the week. As for those who found "Feeling Good" a bit too showboaty, if you've got it, aren't you supposed to flaunt it?
