Adam Lambert sings One and Cryin on American Idol (video)

It was down to the final three on American Idol this evening (May 12) with Adam Lambert going for gold next week.

With three left in the competition, each contestant had to sign twice this evening, one song picked by the judges, the other open choice. Adam was allocated One by U2, which Simon claimed he had to clear directly with the band first. For his second appearance on stage, it was Aerosmith’s Cryin.

Comments for One: Randy – you are in the zone, unbelievable vocals; Kara – you’re a strategist you proved you can take a song, change it up and make it unbelievable; Paula – it as one brillant song, one superb performance, one AI I’m staring at right now; Simon- I thought it was a brilliant song choice, you worked out what you wanted to do with it, a brilliant brilliant performance, if you aren’t in the finals it will be one of the biggest upsets.

Comments for Cryin: Randy – you are one of the best we’ve ever had on the stage; Kara – amazing we’ll see you at the finals; Paula – you set the bar so high I hope you are collecting frequent flyer; Simon – I want everyone to vote for you base on the fact you deserve to be there, not to assume.
