Danny Gokey Goes "Jammin' in the Street" WIth Lionel Richie

9:00 We’re back…Ryan introduces Allison and Cyndi Lauper doing “Time After Time”…Allison starts it out while Cyndi plays the dulcimer, is it?...Now Cyndi. It’s obviously a stripped down version…They harmonize on the chorus and Allison takes the low harmony and does a great job with it…Cyndi is just as wonderfully quirky now as she was in the 80s as she goes a little crazy with the “hey yeahs”…That was GOOD!...I like them together…

9:03 Ryan checks in with Kris’ parents…Kris’ mom says they’re having so much fun she’s almost forgotten what they’re doing…His dad says it’s a good day no matter what happens and says good things about Adam…Kris’ mom is looking hubba-bubba in that red dress…Ryan goes to Adam’s parents…His mom says she’s nervous…Ryan introduces Danny Gokey…Sounds like “Hello” and it is…I know Lionel Richie is here, but that’s David Cook’s song when it comes to “Idol,” they couldn’t have done another Lionel Richie song?...Danny introduces Lionel Richie…He comes down the stairs...They seem to really enjoy singing together…They’re doing his new one, “Just Go”…I’m not sure that Lionel was at rehearsal, because he didn’t seem to know what Danny was going to do…Now “All Night Long”…Paula’s up dancing…Wow, Danny’s getting a lot of camera time…Lionel is having WAY too much fun…And how effortless does Lionel sound? He looks like he’s barely trying…They both go to the mini-stage…Ruben in the house…I think that’s the best I’ve ever heard Danny sing…Big embrace between the two of them…Break…

Don’t look now, kids, but this is a pretty good show…
