Well, Fox. You wanted a Danny Gokey/Adam Lambert final and you're gonna get one.
But not before the judges demeaned themselves this week, refusing to criticize Gokey's ear-splitting rendition of "Dream On" and leading the viewers to vote off Allison Iraheta instead.
We're too saddened by this development to even go on. Talk amongst yourself, readers...

Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen are officially American Idol finalists. Congrats to the trio!
Here are excerpts of interviews each singer gave this week to TV Guide:
Adam Lambert on...
... his first musical theater role: "It was a production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I was 10 years old, and I played Linus. It was downtown San Diego, and it was pretty wild!"
... fear of country music: "Range-wise, there isn't anything I'd be scared to attempt. But as for styles, country week would be a stretch for me."
Allison Iraheta on...
... American Idol aspirations: "I've been wanting to audition since [age] 9! I had my face against the TV screen, wishing I was on the show."
... Simon's critiques: "He doesn't know me. He says I'm boring, but honestly I'm not. I'll just chill a little bit more because the nerves got to me a little [this week]."
Kris Allen on...
... a theme he'd embrace: "Doing The Beatles would be so amazing. I feel like you can do a lot with their songs. That would be the coolest thing ever."
... tackling Michael Jackson: "I decided on ["Man in the Mirror"] a while back, so it was a little scary. But I was really confident in what I was dong. I was just happy I didn't get any compared to him."
Six down, six to go.
Three more finalists were named on American Idol last night, as Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen received the most viewer votes.
Who is your favorite new finalist?
They join the first trio of singers to move on to the show's round of 12: Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver.
Next Tuesday, a dozen more semifinalists will compete for three spots in the competition's final round.
After they have been chosen, the judges will pick the last three finalists after a special wild card round.
