We're halfway to a completed set of 12 American Idol finalists.

With Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver - all of whom were voted through to the next round a week ago - looking on, the show announced its next trio of finalists last night.

They are:

• Adam Lambert (pictured)
  
• Kris Allen
• Allison Iraheta

Lambert and Iraheta were no-brainers, as they were the only two impressive contestants on Wednesday night's performance show.

Allen, however, was a slight surprise. He beat out Megan Joy Corkrey for the last spot.

Next week, a dozen more semifinalists will compete for three more spots in the competition's finals.

After that, American Idol is switching it up this season: the judges will pick the last three finalists as part of a special wild card round.

Last night's American Idol was terrible. There's just no other way to put it.

The one contestant that stood out was Adam Lambert. He showed incredible range during a rendition of "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones.
