American Idol revealed its two finalists last night.
SPOILER ALERT!
Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips will be competing for the title next week. I was actually surprised to see Joshua Ledet eliminated - I thought it was going to be a two-men finale. Joshua has been one of the most consistent performers, and although I thought he was too overwrought at times, he does have a great voice. Perhaps what ended up hurting him was the massive pimping the judges were giving him. It was so blatant that it was almost embarrassing. He got more standing ovations than any other contestants, and some of them were not as deserved as others. Jimmy Iovine had already said that Joshua would get a record deal no matter what, so I'm sure he will be fine.
I would like to say that I think Jessica has an equal shot at the title, but I think Phillip will win this one unless he really, really screws up in the finale. He has never been in the bottom 3 and he has a massive fan base despite not always doing the right songs or performing well.
However the finale ends, I have liked this season. The top 10 contestants were excellent, and there was so much variety that it never got boring.
