We all know this is the last season of American Idol and whoever wins tonight will be the last Miss American Idol winner. So while Trent and La'Porsha wait patiently all of the fans were treated to the most fantastic parade of Miss American Idol Superstars!
The show opened with a close up on La'Porsha starting the opening line of Barry Manilow's hit, One Voice. But just like in the song, her voice was joined by one Idol alum after another. It was a rousing and spectacular opening and triggered the first of many tears to be shed throughout the night.
Way back in the finale for Season 1, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini performed a duet of It Takes Two. Tonight, Trent and La'Porsha paid homage to that historic moment with a recreation of that performance.

The Top 6 sing Idol Favorites
The top 8 finalists are going to perform some of the most popular songs that have been used over and over again in the past 15 seasons of American Idol, but only 6 of them are going to survive to return next week.
But first, Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, has officially achieved another hit after performing on the show 2 weeks ago. Her single Piece By Piece has made its debut on the Billboard HOT 100 this week at #8. Tonight Season 14 Miss American Idol winner, Nick Fradiani, performed his funky new single Get You Home hoping to see it make it's way on to the Billboard charts soon.
The finalists performed duets in the first round. La'Porsha and Trent teamed up to sing See You Again. They were very well matched sounding very good. Avalon faded into the background when she and Sonika performed Rise Up while Sonika shined front and center. Both Dalton and MacKenzie fizzled with their flat reading of I Want It That Way. Lee was also more like a background singer compared to the strength of Tristan on their duet of I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.
The first finalist who is assured a spot on the show next week was La'Porsha. She really rocked the house with her outstanding version of Come Together.
Somehow MacKenzie is safely coming back next week. Tonight his take on You Are So Beautiful couldn't have been more boring. It had no character at all.
Trent, on the other hand, easily made the classic Stand By Me lively, interesting and very entertaining.
Tristan absolutely delivered an emotional powerhouse performance of A Broken Wing. Her vocals were flawless and she surely caused most of the audience to shed a tear or two.
The last finalist to safely get enough votes to come back was Dalton. He performed Eleanor Rigby in a gothic higher energy style that made the song sound fresh for a new audience.
That left the bottom three to be Sonika, Avalon and Lee. There is absolutely no way that Sonika should be at risk of elimination! But I did correctly predict two out of three in Avalon and Lee. They all needed to sing for the judges who will then decide who will be safe and make it into the Top 6.
Avalon performed P.Y.T. and her voice and personality simply was not interesting enough to keep up with such a great song. Lee was next and snoozed his way through Let It Be. Sonika went last and she absolutely breathtaking as she gave amazing vocals on I Have Nothing. Her range is impressive. Her tone is pure. Her voice is simply a pleasure to listen to.
Thankfully the judges made the right choice and Sonika is safely coming back next week.
I am not going to predict a bottom three this time around. La'Porsha, Trent, Tristan, Dalton and Sonika are all exceptionally talented singers and great performers. The only one who doesn't fit in is MacKenzie, so I am predicting that he will be eliminated next week.

Carrie wins Video of the Year - AGAIN!!!!!
The 2015 CMT Video Music Awards is always a very fun night of great music, and it usually includes a parade of Miss American Idol winners and finalists.
The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood went into the night as this year's top nominee with 5 total. And when the first award of the night was handed out, one of her 5 nominations turned into her first win of the night. She won Best Collaborative Video of the Year for her duet with Miranda Lambert, Somethin' Bad.
The Season 14 Miss American Idol winner, Nick Fradiani, made his first big television appearance since winning the crown as a presenter for the Breakthrough Video of the Year. And Season 5 Miss American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, was also a presenter and she used this opportunity to promote her upcoming new reality show on CMT called I Love Kellie. It should be a fun show.
About halfway through the show the award for Best Female Video of the Year was presented Carrie Underwood for her Something In The Water. So that's two wins in the evening.... SO FAR....
The best performance of the night was saved for last as Carrie rocked the stage to perform her latest single, Little Toy Guns. This was a very special moment because it was her first televised performance since the birth of her baby earlier this year.
Immediately after the amazing performance of Little Toy Guns, the Supreme Miss American Idol's name was called to the stage to accept the biggest award of the night. Carrie Underwood and Something In The Water won the CMT Buckle for the 2015 VIDEO OF THE YEAR!

This is especially impressive in that she just won this same top honor last year when her video for See You Again won the CMT Buckle for the 2014 Video of the Year AND her video for Blown Away won the CMT Buckle for the 2013 Video of the Year AND her video for Good Girl won the CMT Buckle for the 2012 Video of the Year!!!
