Danny Gokey out, Adam Lambert through to the final 2 in American Idol
From the archive: published May 13, 2009, 17 years ago. Details may have changed since.
America has voted and this years final two contestants on American Idol are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.
In an overly long show that featured a performance by Katy Perry, a plug for a charity from Alicia Keys, and some serious cross promotion for Night at the Museum 2 featuring Ben Stiller, Danny Gokey was finally shown the door.
The result was somewhat of a surprise. Lambert has long been the short priced favorite, but Allen was in the bottom 3 only two weeks ago, where as Gokey had been a crowd favorite and an early front runner for this years competition.
The American Idol Final 2 2009 show will air next Tuesday, with the winner of American Idol being announced Wednesday May 20.
And I nearly forgot to add: Go Adam Lambert!
