More than 100,000 auditioned and it's come down to 12. Some might call it a travesty, others may point a finger to a VoteForTheWorst.com, whose sole purpose is to mess with the "American Idol" rankings (if that's the case, a job well done).

Kara fights hard to keep her seat — and produces genuine tears! Meanwhile, Randy settles into his usual interchangeable phrases (this week: "I dunno, man. It was just aiight for me").

This is our pool of the country's top "American Idol" pundits who will try and predict which Season 9 finalist will be going home after each performance episode; and on the last week, who will win. The [...]
Every so often, "Idol" chroniclers are allowed — nay, required — to channel their inner Simon. Mr. Cowell is the show's governing spirit, the voice of commercially savvy reason and Top 40-besotted prejudice. What he loves is often cheesy, what he thinks is strange is often as original as this resolutely Middle American program [...]
