LIVE RESULTS ARE AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE!

This is it! American Idolis airing the moment we’ve all been waiting for all season tonight, May 23, 2012. I’m talking about the moment we will find out who our season 11 American Idol is. Who do you think will win tonight? Who will be crowned the next American Idol: Phillip Phillips or Jessica Sanchez? I think this will be a very close contest given that two contestants have such amazing fan pools and posses such amazing talent.

Who is predicted to win American Idol tonight? DialIdol has Phillip in the lead, but barely, when it comes to telephone votes. Who knows what happens when you tally in the text votes.  American Idol winner Kris Allen made his own predictions weeks ago on who he thinks will win the Idol crown. You can read those predictions here.

Last night, the judges awarded the first two rounds to 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez. But Phillip Phillips clearly won the last round, hands down. If you missed last night’s show, read our full recap here including links to ALL PERFORMANCE VIDEOS!!
