American Idol: The Final Five Preview

Susan Boyle may have stolen the spotlight from American Idol, but she sure hasn't stolen it from Idol War...

Cycle 2 has topped Idol War Cycle 1 featuring the epic battle between David Archuleta and David Cook, and as we get closer to the end of this season things are getting very heated. Coach Andrew “Mickey” Walsh has been accused of being a "filthy, dirty racist pig" for comparing Lil Rounds to Syesha Mercado, while coach The Colonel Gary G. has hit a wall with this season declaring it not worth his time. We have five contestants left -- Matt Giruad, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert -- will the last fews shows hold any surprises or is it going to be a boring and predictable Idol like we all thought? This is when things get serious and I have not given up hope. I'm still interested to see if the last girl (Iraheta) in the competition can make it to the final three, or if will it be a Lambert, Gokey, Allen sausagefest. I'm also looking forward to the finale to see Danny finally be defeated by Adam.

Here is your American Idol and Idol War preview.

We will see you tomorrow for the coaches reactions, elimination, then Thursday for Idol War results.
