American Idol Preview: Mercado, Archuleta, Cook Sing For Finals

American Idol has once again traveled the country to try and find the most talented vocalists for their show. This week, there are only three of those finalists left, and they are singing tonight for two spots in the finale.

Next week, the two remaining finalists will go head to head to try and become the next American Idol. There will be a grand stage, and millions of people will be watching on television.

To get to that scenario, however, the contestants will have to one more time, put their vocals to the test on tonight's semi-finals show. David Cook, David Archuleta, and Syesha Mercado, will be trying to impress not only the judges, but the millions that will vote at the end of the show.

Archuleta and Cook appear to have a clear path to the finals. They have been the favorites the whole season, and now with one more performance, should wrap up their head to head showdown.

Mercado is still the dark horse in the competition, but seems to survive every week. She has been in the bottom two almost every week, and has found a way to get enough votes to survive. She will need two extraordinary performances to hold off one of the two David's.

The show will air live tonight on FOX at 8:00 P.M.
