After 15 seasons, American Idol says good bye tonight. Tonight's grand finale will feature past hosts, judges, winners, runner ups and contestants along with a lot of memories. The show will be a little more than 2 hours long tonight (so I hope you chose the live recording on DVR and extended the record time!) and Ryan Seacrest will eventually give us who America voted as its 15th American Idol. It will be either La'Porsha Renae or Trent Harmon receiving the title from Nick Fradiani.

Before we find out who receives the title we'll see performances from:

  • Kelly Clarkson
  • Carrie Underwood
  • Jennifer Hudson
  • Chris Daughtry

Along with special appearances from past judges:

  • Simon Cowell
  • Randy Jackson
  • Paula Abdul
  • Nicki Minaj
  • Steven Tyler
  • Ellen DeGeneres
  • Mariah Carey
  • Kara DioGuardi

And shots of previous contestants like:
David Cook, Kris Allen, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Candice Glover, Ruben Studdard, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips, Caleb Johnson, Kimberly Locke, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Elliot Yamin, Justin Guarini, Sanjaya, Melinda Doolittle, Allison Iraheta, Clay Aiken, Constantine Maroulis, Bo Bice, Blake Lewis and a crowd favorite, William Hung!

It's going to be a send off show unlike any other series ending send offs. The party begins at 7 p.m. tonight on Fox.
