American Idol Top 2: Who will get the boot?
May 20th
Last week voters put the Go in Gokey when they finally sent Dead Wife Danny packing. Here’s hoping he took all remnants of that blood curdling scream with him. With the best Milwaukee had to offer gone, we are left with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen as the Top 2. The show should be fun!
Now, the big question. Will David Bowie appear on the Idol stage and perform with Adam in the finale?
Have at it everybody, who will be the next American Idol?
