Season 8 of Fox's huge hit reality television series is coming up on it's grand finale. This week is Rock Week and there is talk of the Idols not only performing solo numbers, but teaming up with each other to take on a duet. That will be a first in American Idol history and it will be interesting to see what the match ups are going to be. There are 4 contestants left and they are among the most talented the series has seen.

Adam Lambert, who's fans are known as "Glamberts", is the favorite to win, but there have been upsets in Idol's past. Superstar, Chris Daughtry was headed for the top and ended up in 4th place. Adam's frequent "mixing up" of traditional favorites have caused quite a polarization in Idol fans. Many either love him or hate him.

Kris Allen fell into the bottom three last week along with Adam in what some have called a bid by the shows producers to boost votes for the two. Who knows for sure, but the "Allenation" will be fighting very hard to keep their favorite in the race.

Allison Iraheta is the only female left in the competition and is the youngest of the 4 being only 17. She was 16 when she started her American Idol journey and recently had a birthday. For someone so young, she has an incredible talent and performs like she's been doing it for years. Allison's raspy, rock and roll voice has earned her many fans.

Danny Gokey was an early favorite from the initial auditions, but his star may be falling. Web site,
VoteForTheWorst.com now has him as THEIR favorite as they feel he is the least talented. It remains to be seen if they can get ahead of the fan bases of Adam and Kris.
