"AMERICAN IDOL"

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tonight, we'll know who WON'T be the next "American Idol." The top three sang three songs each last night. Only two will make it through to next week's finale. Steven Tyler is already predicting Jessica Sanchez will be the winner. The crowd booed when the judges were critical of one of Phillip Phillips' songs. Joshua Ledet (leh-DET') got raves from the judges last night, as he has for the most of the season. Before the results are announced, Lisa Marie Presley and former Idol runner-up Adam Lambert will be performing.
