no doubt

So far, 22 percent of people who've taken the current lehighvalleylive.com Entertainment Poll -- which of the four remaining "American Idol" finalists do you pick to win it all? -- got it wrong. Allison Iraheta is going home.

The teenager rocker got the boot tonight, leaving Kris Allen, Danny Gokey and frontrunner Adam Lambert to battle for the title of "Idol" king. This is the first time in the show's eight-year history that there's been an all-male final trio.

The voters' decision undoubtedly came as a shock for our Marcia White, who earlier today predicted that Iraheta would make it through tonight's elimination on the strength of her "electric" duet with Lambert. The two performed Foghat's "Slow Ride."

It looks like the judge's response to her solo performance of Janis Joplin's "Cry Baby" had a bigger impact on Iraheta's vote-getting ability than White anticipated. They described the 17-year-old California resident's take on the classic as unoriginal.
