'American Idol'

'American Idol' ends tonight

 "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, left, and judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will soon be out of a job. Fox has announced that season 15 will be the show's last. Let's catch up with some of the stars.

(CNN)When Ryan Seacrest signs off "American Idol" tonight with his signature "Seacrest out!" he will mean it literally.
The show is ending after 15 seasons, juggernaut ratings (which fell off in recent years), thousands of aspiring superstars and way too many covers of Whitney Houston songs.
La'Porsha Renae and Trent Harmon are the final two contestants on season 15 of "American Idol."
On Wednesday night, La'Porsha Renae and Trent Harmon were named as the final contestants for the title of "American Idol."
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.
Originally hosted by Brian Dunkleman and Seacrest, "Idol" went on to become a part of the pop culture zeitgeist. It was a celeb-making machine for many of those connected to it, including Seacrest, who was made the solo host after the first season.
Fans around the world took to social media to mourn the end of the "Idol" era.
Viewers haven't been the only ones lamenting the loss of "Idol." Seacrest recently tweeted, "Just trying to get my emotions in check this week before #IdolFinale."
The "American Idol" finale airs at 8 p.m. ET on Fox

BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA

Ever since i started reading the manga series i started wondering how much it reminds me of NARUTO, especially this character IZUKU MIDORIYA the main protagonist. Summary Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist of My Hero Academia. Originally born without a Quirk, Izuku spent most of his life growing up ostracized from the paranormal community around him, though harboring a seemingly impossible vision to become a hero like his idol, the legendary All Might. Having caught the hero's attention, he has since become his close pupil and a student at Yuuei, where his valiant efforts have won him the respect of his classmates albeit forming a tense rivalry with his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugou. He is a very timid person who is easily shocked by the wacky events in heroic life, but is very diligent, strong-willed, and an idealist who will always try to rescue someone in danger, often biting off more than he can chew in the process.
