The final season of American Idol is down to its final two contestants.
On the last performance show in the history of this once-beloved series, Trent Harmon, La’Porsha Renae and Dalton Rapatton gave it all they had in their concluding auditions before the judges.
Each hopeful kicked off his or her set with his or her debut single, as Trent fired up the crowd with “Falling,” Dalton went with “Strike a Match” and Renae dropped “Battles” on viewers.
All were great.
But La’Porsha was so inspiring that we’d do pretty much anything she asked of us at the moment.
Soon after these renditions, the voters were counted and Rapatton was sent packing, simply saying that the American Idol journey had been “amazing” for him.
American Idol creator Simon Fuller then selected “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” for Trent to sing, while La’Porsha was given “A House Is Not a Home.”
And Jennifer Lopez didn’t even try to hide her feelings; she came right out and admitted that La’Porsha won the round.
Finally, the two finalists were left to belt out versions of whatever songs they desired.
Harmon selected “Chandelier” by Sia, with Harry Connick Jr. telling the contestant that he “could not have sang [it] more beautifully.”
He also said that Trent deserves to win the whole thing.
But we’re not sure if we agree, not after La’Porsha received a standing ovation for her take on Rihanna’s “Diamonds.”
Where do you stand on the impressive finalists? Who should win American Idol Season 15?
Both of these artists clearly have talent. Both deserve a place in the photo gallery below when all is said and done.
But we’ll find out tonight whether Trent Harmon or La’Porsha Renae takes home the title.
