The AmericanIdol finale is finally here! See why each contestant thinks they should win.
has been a real rollercoaster. From the elation of making it to Hollywood and then getting ground to a fine dust by the grueling tinsel town cuts, to the joy of hitting the beaches and stage in Hawaii. And then, the shutdown. The contestants on this year'shave had to contend with a working environment like no other, forced to become overnight lighting and sound technicians as they've converted their bedrooms, living rooms and backyards into remote TV studios.
But tonight they have reached the final stage. It's not the big, Hollywood soundstage they dreamed of when they auditioned last year, but for the top seven -- Arthur Gunn, Dillon James, Francisco Martin, Jonny West, Julia Gargano, Just Sam and Louis Knight -- it's the closest they can get in lockdown to the glitz and glamour of a traditionalasked the final seven to dream a little dream and make their final argument to America while imagining what their debut album might sound like.
:"I’ve known what my debut album would be for a while now. I have so many songs locked and loaded to open up the door to my mind and the way I see the world. [I] can't disclose the title just yet because I want to make sure it is fresh for when the record eventually does come out.
After the top seven are cut down to five at the top of the show on the East Coast broadcast, voting for the winner will open. Though the results will air live only on the East Coast, all time zones can vote for their favorite -- up to 10 times per contestant, per method --app and by texting the contestant number to 21523; voting closes at approximately 9:15 ET. The season 18 winner will be crowned live on the East Coast at the end of the night.
