This season of American Idol will be over next week! Who will it be? Clark? Nick? Jax?

I think the finale will be Clark & Nick. I think Clark will win, but it could be a close vote. I think all 3 deserve to be in the Top 3. Personally, I don't really have a favorite. I've liked performances from all 3 at one point during the season, but I've also disliked a performance from each of them. I think Nick & Jax are both more marketable. I can see Clark being marketable, but it depends on the material post-show & whether he's willing to listen & compromise with the label & industry people.

I'm hoping the finale will be Nick and Jax with Jax winning. Idol hasn't had a female win since Jordin that has been successful. They really need that. I think Jax could compete in today's top 40 Pop quite easily. Especially under the wing of Scott Borchetta. I think he sees the seeds he saw in Taylor Swift in her.

I don't know which will win, but I'm not impressed with the guest performers on the last show. i don't care to watch. I'm seeing Nick as the winner. Scott will not like Clark winning. Jax performs good but I don't care for her sound when I close my eyes. However, I'm betting on Jax and Nick for the final two.

I honestly don't know, I tend to favor Nick at the moment but we'll see. I wish them all well, but none of them have won my heart -- Scotty has done that already! I still enjoy the show, but I have a tendency to weigh everything against the very high bar of Scotty and no one else can get there for me.

It's not a surprise. It's good to end it before the bottom really falls out. After Season 10 and 11's success, Idol really never got it's mojo back.

This is another reason why I'm glad we have this forum as our new home. If this isn't the end of IDF now, it will be soon.

You know it's strange. I got a new computer last month and TOC is the only site I have never been able to get on since I bought it. Must be something in their code blocking it behind a firewall on my side.

Talk about pimping!! Jax recording is much more professional than the other two. It looks like Scott really wants her to win.

Talk about pimping!! Jax recording is much more professional than the other two. It looks like Scott really wants her to win. I agree Jax's sounds more professional. The song is good considering whomever wins will have the song be the theme for the World Cup. I think both Jax & Clark got better theme songs that fit the World Cup. But I think Jax & Nick received songs I could see being possibly played on radio. IMO Clark's song doesn't fit him. Also, I don't know if it will matter Jax's song sounds more professional. It's possible she won't be able to sing it if she's eliminated first. I don't know if viewers will like Jax's song as an "Idol winning song." It's not a typical sounding Idol song. I could see viewers liking Clark's original or even Nick's because it sounds like Idol coronation songs usually.

My rebel side hopes Clark wins just to spite Scott. But he probably would not be as marketable as either of the other two. We'll see.

It's Clark and Nick. Clark just killed George on my Mind. Clark looks confident.

Loved Clark sing Georgia. I think Nick is very strong. I was really impressed with him last week. I have been voting for Clark since Maddie and Michael were voted off.

Nick's single is much better than Clark's. I could hear it and his voice on the radio more. I personally like Clark more but I think Nick has a better shot at making it big. This is tough!

I feel like Clark was better throughout the season. Nick is more marketable & IMO received the better coronation song. He performed it better, too. I don't think Clark really likes his coronation song. It doesn't seem like something he wants to sing.

Nick's coronation song was better to me as well. It should be another close vote.

Watching Finale' and was surprised (and proud) to see Scotty wishing the finalists good luck!! I don't really have a favorite this year, but I kind of find myself pulling for Nick.

I think Clark will do fine without Idol. Nick needed Idol. I think we saw this coming.

I haven't watched enough this year to actually have a fav. The couple of times I watched I favored Clark. I think Nick looks way too much like Sam Hunt. That would have made it very hard for me to ever pick Nick as a fav.

Congrats to Nick! IMO he was an underdog throughout the season, but in the last few weeks he really stepped it up.
Also, according to Borchetta prior to the winning announcement he said the winner will be going to CMA Fest. I don't know if Nick's going to be a country artist. But he will be performing at the CMA festival and presenting at the CMA Awards in Nov.
