Your 'American Idol' Finale Preview

It has been a long, tough competition, but the end is in sight. Tonight is the last time the "American Idol" hopefuls perform for the viewers to vote. Which of the Final 2 will join the ranks of KELLY CLARKSON, RUBEN STUDDARD and FANTASIA BARRINO as the fourth "American Idol"? CARRIE UNDERWOOD or BO BICE? America will decide!

Each of the two finalists will sing three songs: one is the single that the crowned "Idol" will record, the second is the song that has been chosen for the flipside and the third is their choice. Bo selected "Vehicle," and for Carrie, it's "Independence Day."

"They will obviously both be having a crack at the single, which will help people make up their minds," says Executive Producer KEN WARWICK. "The song is called 'Inside Your Heaven.' That's new. For the B-side, Carrie will be singing something called 'Angels Brought Me Here' and Bo will be singing, 'Long, Long Road.'"

The two songs for the single were written and provided by writers signed by 19 Management.

Then on the two-hour finale on Wednesday, when the new "American Idol" is crowned, there will be a super medley, where each of the Final 12 has a chance to sing with their idols.

"Carrie will be singing with RASCAL FLATTS, Bo will be singing with LYNRD SKYNRD and we've got KENNY G and GEORGE BENSON," Ken adds.

FOX's No. 1 TV show will also be taking a gibe at all the media madness that has surrounded the show this season with its own exposé.

"Dirty journalism doesn't go down well with us, and there has been a bit of that this series, so we are going to have a little dig at that," Ken shares.

For all your "Idol" chatter, tune in to tonight's ET

Bo selected "Vehicle," and for Carrie, it's "Independence Day."

YES! Finally! I have a feeling this will be powerful coming from Carrie. Like I said before:

Carrie can't go wrong with a Martina McBride song although I would have thought "Independence Day," "Valentine," or "My Baby Loves Me" would have been stronger choices.

..."Independence Day" ought to be GOOD!

[Kelarie]

When Bo did Vehicle, it was incredible...he is a powerful on the stage. It will be interesting to see and hear them both do the same song.

All I have to say is............

GO BO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GalvestonDuck]

I must be tone deaf. If what Carrie just sang was on key, then I can't hear right tonight.

If she'd sang like that at the auditions, I would have said, "Girl...go home."

Ugh...I think she just lost any chance. Unless Bo does something wrong in the next two and she pulls of something incredible. And Randy just said they're even????? *scratching head*

Now I know I'm losing my hearing -- Paula and Simon liked it better than Bo also?

[Josephine96]

Simon has been in love with Carrie since the auditions lol.. and btw.. I actually thought Carrie did song #1 very well..

[CajunMama]

I'm enjoying Bo's performance tonight but PUT THE DARN MIC DOWN. It's gotten old...take the mic out of the stand if you want to move about the stage.

His second song was FANTASTIC!

[Josephine96]

Much better on Bo's 2nd 1.. But I must agree with ya Cajun.. Bo.. STEP AWAY FROM THE MIC STAND lol..

Let's see how Carrie does on her 2nd 1..

BTW: Ryan keeps saying how close it is.. I thought the votes for the 1 night were the only 1's that counted. I didn't think they kept a running tally

[Stephanie]

I read on a Clay Aiken fansite that Carrie has a sinus infection so I think that is why her voice sounds a little strained. I have heard her voice sound alot stronger.

I did like both of Bo's songs.

[Josephine96]

Mr. Simon says it's 1-1 now hmm lol..

I must admit.. There is 1 thing I kinda don't like about Carrie.. she normally just stands in place.. and when she does try to jive around on the stage.. she looks uncoordinated.. lol

Go ahead and boo me if ya want.. But that's my opinion..

Great finale so far..

[Rainband]

Carrie was better!!!

[GalvestonDuck]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!!!!!

(Carrie doing "Independence Day!!")

[Rainband]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!!!!!

(Carrie doing "Independence Day!!")

[Josephine96]

Bo did that last song brilliantly..

At least that is the FINAL TIME WE HAVE TO WATCH HIM WALK AROUND WITH THE MIC STAND lol..

Let's see how Carrie's final song goes

[GalvestonDuck]

Paula to Carrie -- "You'll never face anything more scary in your life again." WHAT???? As if there aren't other challenges in life than AI?

Paula...put down the Kool-Aid.

YAY, CARRIE!!!!!!

Time to go vote!
