American Idol - the Final 2 are chosen!

Tonight's the night we found out who the Top 2 contestants for American Idol winner would be.

But first we had performances to see and also see the contestants triumphant and touching returns to home.

We saw Haley go home. Very nice to see all the love shown to her. She has a big career ahead of her.

Next we had the pop-opera trio Il Volo performing. Interesting. An opera version of the Jonas Brothers?!

We next get to see Scotty go home. He was very touched at the outpouring of love throughout the day. While singing his always talked about cover of Josh Turner, he got to meet Josh Turner himself as he came out on stage while he was singing the song for the crowd. Very cool moment!

Nicole Scherzinger performed. Big fan of Nicole but couldn't believe how thin her voice sounded tonight. She is a waaaay better singer than that song showed. Just my opinion.

Next we got to see Lauren go home.  Very touching moment when she saw the storm damage in her area and state. Sang for the crowds that came to see her.

The results finally! Scotty in the final 2. Lauren in the final 2. Haley goes home :(

I wasn't too big a fan of Haley when she first began on the show. She didn't seem to take it seriously enough but little by little she rose to the ocassion as she was beaten down week after week with bottom 3s and harsh criticism that the others didn't seem to get thrown their way. She blossomed and won me over. I look forward to seeing her career. I'm a fan.
