And so the stage is set for the Season 17 American Idol finale.
Next Sunday’s three-hour showdown will include …
* Madison VanDenburg, the 17-year-old the Idol judges have compared to Kelly Clarkson;
* Laine Hardy, the Louisiana guy the judges convinced to try Idol a second time after he finished Top 40 a year ago;
* and Alejando Aranda, whose blind audition was hyped as the show’s best ever.
They were voted through by fans Sunday night from a Top 5 that also included Laci Kaye Booth and Wade Cota.
