American Idol's incredibly amazing top three

I got on the American Idol bandwagon late, and it seems like at the same time I started, a lot of people jumped off. As a result, I hardly have any friends that watch the show (sad). Therefore, no one is able to sympathize with my total awe at the top three gentlemen of American Ido this season. I am REALLY impressed by our top three, and they are all so different.

So - to summarize, we have one gay flamboyant guy with an absolutely incredible voice who never makes a mistake but rocks out in a way that blogging moms don't tend to appreciate.
Adam:





Then we have a likable raspy-voiced bluesy crooner with a heart-rending story of his wife's death and some bad dancing.
Danny:
(note - this video totally doesn't show Danny's bluesy raspy side, so go to this one if you want to see his other side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfpPDaqeeRc)




And finally, we have a quiet mannered newlywed cutie-pie that sings like a cross between Jason Mraz and John Mayer and plays some amazing guitar and piano.
Kris



So who are the top two? Oh man, I think my boy Kris is going home, which I think I'm okay with because I still think he'll go far.

A few notes from tonight's episode:

-The judges' bickering is cute sometimes, other times it's just flat annoying and just shouts narcissism. Tonight it was annoying. I wanted to pull Kara's face out of the screen and point her eyes at mine the way you do when you're lecturing a little kid, and firmly say, "SHUT UP."

-I thought it was interesting to hear Ryan repeatedly say that Kris has been a quiet, humble contestant. I have also heard other people say that a quiet joy radiates out of him, and I agree. To me, his faith is apparent in his demeanor and attitude, and I love it.

-Simon name-dropping Bono's personal contact with him sort of cracked me up. Oh, and by the way, I love "One" and I find it it interesting to see how people try to interpret Bono's lyrics

-I think Danny's version of "You are so Beautiful" was indeed beautiful and probably sent all of the middle-aged women into a hot flash, but for me it brought back vivid memories of Stephen Crafts in 4th grade singing it to a mortified Clare.

-Yeah baby, I LOVE what Kris did to Kanye's "Heartless", and it just shows once again why I love his style.

-Did anyone else see the last wide shot of the audience and the stage, and notice that on the judge's stage Kara was trying to get out of her chair and almost fell off? Hilarious.

UPDATE:

I was youtubing clips from the contestant's hometown visits because I will miss seeing the recaps tomorrow. I loved this clip that I found of Kris leading "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin at his church:
