American Idol Season 8 Finale Part 1 Performance Recap

Videos of each performance will be posted later on tonight.

In less than two hours, the American Idol final performance night will begin!

Kris Allen will be performing "Ain't No Sunshine" as his personal choice.. Adam Lambert will be singing "Mad World" with "a twist".

The "winner's song" is called "No Boundaries" and was co-written by Kara DioGuardi.

We don't know which songs Simon Fuller chose for the contestants yet but I will post them as soon as I find out!

Stay tuned to this post for live updates.

Simon Fuller's Choices:
Adam Lambert: "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke
Kris Allen: "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye

We will have 4 hours to vote tonight. Tomorrow's results show will be two hours long and Ryan recommended we expect it to run longer than that.

Adam will be performing first. There will be three phone numbers and one text number for each contestant.
