American Idol 17: Top 3/Finale

Air Date: Sunday, May 19, 2019 (8-11pm)

Last season, like every season before it, American Idol aired a two-night finale. This time, they've combined the final performances and the winner announcement into one mega-finale episode--three hours long!

The Top 3 performed, then one was eliminated. They had the usual star-studded performances. Then the Top 2 performed one final time, and the winner was announced.

Here's how it all went down, in my Twitter recap for the season 17 finale...

The Big Bang Theory has come to an end.

12 seasons. 279 episodes.

I am really going to miss this show.

My journey with this sitcom didn't start at the beginning, though. It was the summer of 2012. I was setting up to record a TV show, and the channel happened to be on TBS. This was the very first summer that The Big Bang Theory was airing in syndication on cable TV (having started the previous September).

There's only one more week until we crown another American Idol winner. But there's still the matter of finding out who will make it to that finale.

Five contestants enter tonight's penultimate season 17 episode, with two going home at the end of the night. The judges can't save them this time. Who stays? Who goes?

Here is my live Twitter recap for the Top 5...

Another Sunday means another live-in-every-time-zone episode of American Idol season 17--the best singing competition show ever--which, by the way, has been beating The Voice in the ratings lately. Hopefully, that keeps happening for the rest of the season.

There's only six finalists left, and two performance each to get through tonight.

Here is my live Twitter recap for the Top 6...
