Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Hannah Harper, Keyla Richardson and Jordan McCullough will battle it out for the American Idol title during a three-hour season finale tonight.

Longtime Idol fans know how this will work. We’ll see two rounds of competition between all three finalists.

And we’ll see footage from those emotional trips home and the hometown concerts that took place on Wednesday in Murfreesboro, Tenn. (Jordan), Pensacola, Fla. (Keyla) and Willow Springs, Missouri (Hannah).

Then Ryan Seacrest will announce the elimination of one singer, setting the stage for a final round of competition.

Of course, there will be lots of guest performances too, most pairing an Idol standout from Season 24 with one of those guests. Head here for a look at who will be singing together.

I’ll be providing song by song grades throughout, so feel free to follow along.
