Who won American Idol XIII 2014 Season 13? The winner is revealed live tonight May 21, 2014 on FOX.
Who will win? Jene Irene, the wild card? Or Caleb Johnson, the wild child? It's a close result!
As a refresher, here are their performances from last night:
Jena Irene:
We Are One
Can't Help Falling In Love
Dog Days Are Over

Dream On
Maybe I'm Amazed
As Long As You Love Me
Rickey.org readers predict that Caleb Johnson will win -- but it's really close: 50.77% vs 49.23% of the vote. Anything can still happen Jena fans!
Please discuss the show in the comments just like old times and interact with our BuzzDial! A lot of special guests tonight and I will post recaps and performances throughout the finale.
Recap
Jena and Caleb return to the "box of terror" holding room during the auditions. It opens up to the stage at the Nokia theater LA Live. They open the show with "We Will Rock You", "I'm Just A Girl" and "It's Only Love."
Harry Connick Jr. stood up for the very first time this season. He said the competition is over and he can stand up.
Cheer Check: Looks like the Caleb cheers were a little louder.
Sam Woolf sings 'Home'! He is then joined by Phillip Phillips! Woohoo! Two of my favorites! Phillip sings 'Raging Fire'. Amaze! Amaze!
Did they turn Sam's mic off when Phillip was singing? Sigh. Watch Video of Phillip and Sam.
Guest Performance: Jennifer Nettles sings her single 'That Girl'. She then duets with Jessica Meuse on 'Wrecking Ball'.
World-class mentor Randy Jackson is interviewed about the contestant's growth.
Randy: "Caleb is a wrecking ball. Jena is the wild card."
Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. introduce Jennifer Lopez who sings 'First Love'.
JLo is the triple threat! She can really sing and dance and so much stage presence. Go Jlo! I love this song!
This is how it's done people! This is the reason JLo is Billboard Music Awards ICON!

Caleb performs with KISS! Wow!
Caleb is really a throwback act. I think he's going to give Adam Lambert a run for his money when this season is over. This would have been better if Caleb wore KISS makeup!!!
Caleb's brother comes on stage and he's in makeup! Woohoo!

The Idol guys perform with Aloe Blacc 'The Man'. Aloe schooled all of them in the vocal honestly.
Caleb and Jena win Ford Mustangs. Congratulations!
Caleb and Jena's mentors are in the audience. They both get Ford Fusions. Not bad.
Guest Performance: Demi Lovato! She sings her single "Really Don't Care" and she is joined by the Idol girls with 'Neon Lights'. Demi schooling these girls with the vocal, omigosh.
