We're now less than a week out from the Grand Finale of American Idol.  Tonight we find out who they'll be.  The polls suggest Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez will be left standing at the end of tonight's show.

First up, the final three perform Got To Get You Into My Life.

Taking a look at our weekly run down of our poll results we can see that the public don't really seem to mind who wins as it really is a close, three horse race.

Your favorite last night appears to have been Phillip Phillips who received 43% of the vote while Jessica Sanchez had 34% and Joshua Ledet came in last with 23% of the vote.

When it came to who you wanted to see eliminated tonight it was the closest we've ever had this poll with Jessica Sanchez marginally ahead on 34% while both Joshua and Phillip scored a dead even 33% each.

Our poll asking which two finalists you'd like to see was again interesting. Phillip Phillips and Joshua Ledet were your most preferred with 37% while Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez came in close behind with 35%.  Joshua and Jessica were third on 28% of the vote.

E! is reporting today that Jennifer Lopez may be leaving American Idol following the conclusion of the current season.

The singer has said that she is undecided as to her future on the show but E! claims she is heading for the door.

Lopez has a tour locked in with Enrique Iglesias kicking off this summer and word is she plans to be on the road until the end of the year.

Tonight we have another 2 hour show for 3 contestants.  Drawn out much?

Our contestants will have 3 songs and 3 voting numbers.

Here's how the show went down:

Joshua Ledet
Judges choice: I'd Rather Go Blind

Voting Information

My thoughts: More consistency from Joshua.

Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have officially been added to the judging panel for The X Factor USA.

The revamped judging panel was officially unveiled yesterday at the Fox upfronts where the two singers joined Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid.

In terms of contracts, it is understood Spears will net $15m for the season while Lovato will collect around $1m.

Steven Tyler and his band Aerosmith will hit the American Idol stage on May 23.

The band will perform their new single on the grand finale of the show despite the fact guitarist Joe Perry had criticised the show when Tyler joined.

"It wasn't about the show – it was about how we found out about it," Perry told Rolling Stone. "I was pissed off about that whole thing, but I've played on it before and the band is gonna play on it in the last episode of the season to debut the new single. So it's not about the show, it's about how we found out about it. It was a bit of a shock and it took us off balance."

Incoming America’s Got Talent judge Howard Stern has taken a jab at the judges on American Idol, calling them “selfish”.

The radio personality said that this year’s AGT will bring something new to the talent show format.

"I think what you'll find is that we have a panel that unlike these other judging shows, you know, I watch 'American Idol' sometimes, and those three judges, they don't have a word of criticism," Stern said. "And I think that's selfish. I think you owe it to the contestants to offer criticism."

70 million votes later and we've got the results.  Tonight the top 4 become the top 3 and the remaining contestants will be getting a bit of time off to jet to their home towns for a visit.

Before we get to the official part of the evening there are some songs to be sung.  First up, the final four perform California Dreaming.

And it's performance recap time.  Phillip Phillips is up first but he's not getting a verdict.  Neither is Hollie Cavanagh.

We're about to learn who our Top 3 are for American Idol 2012.  With only four contestants remaining, the results are much closer than I'd have imagined they would be which does suggest that the result is going to be a real battle.

This week, it looks as though it is Hollie Cavanagh's turn to leave the show.  Jessica Sanchez is the overall favorite with 35% of the vote while Joshua Ledet has just edged Phillip Phillips out for second place with 24 and 23% respectively.

As far as who you want to go home, Hollie has topped that poll with 34% of the vote while Joshua Ledet is your least preferred contestant to be eliminated.

Your favorite song of the night was And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going by JEssica Sanchez while Joshua Ledet's It's a Man's World was second and Phillip Phillips version of Volcano came in third.

Who is going home tonight? Results. Live. Soon.
