Last night Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze battled it out for the title of American Idol. Here's a recap about what went down:
In the first round the two got to sing songs they already sang before in the competition. Lee sang "The Boxer," which he sang during "Inspirational Song" week on Idol. Crystal sang "Me and Bobby McGee," which she performed originally on "Billboard Number Ones" week.
Round two was judges choice -- Lee sang "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. and Crystal sang "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles.
Finally for round three, Lee and Crystal performed the song that will be their single on the radio if they win. Lee's will be "Beautiful Day," originally by U2 and Crystal's will be Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain."
The finale starts tonight at 8 pm on FOX. Besides crowning the new American Idol, this show will be Simon Cowell's last show ever, so expect a tribute the the judge. Christina Aguilera is also expected to perform with other surprise guests.
Who's going to win tonight?
