'American Idol' chooses its final two
Fox has planned a blowout finale tonight that will include performances from judges Harry Connick Jr., Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez as well as appearances by a bevy of alumni including Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry and Fantasia.
Based on the popular British show "Pop Idol," the series entranced America when it debuted in the summer of 2002. Inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson has become one of the show's most successful contestants, and "Idol" prompted a flood of other reality singing competitions. But even with all the others, it managed to maintain a place in the hearts of many reality show lovers.
