In a season full of surprises, next week's final performance show promises to be a night to remember as 16-year-old Alaina and 17-year-old McCreery - the youngest contestants ever to battle it out in the finale - go head-to-head at the Nokia Theatre L.A. live on Tuesday, May 24 (8 p.m. ET) on FOX.

Tune in the following night for the biggest television event of the season and the momentous conclusion of the celebrated 10^th season, which featured new judges, a new musical coach and some of the best young, undiscovered talent in the country. More than 125,000 auditioned, and next week only one finalist will be crowned the next "American Idol" winner on the two-hour season finale Wednesday, May 25 (8-10:07 p.m. ET live).

The finale and concert spectacular will feature special performances, surprise guests and a top 13 reunion before America's vote is revealed.
