Copyright PR Photos American Idol fans have been predicting this finale for almost the entire season. David Archuleta and David Cook have been wowing the judges since the competition began. Now they will be battling for the Idol crown next week.

Syesha Mercado was the last female left in the Idol competition. There are now none after Mercado was eliminated on the results show.

Mercado had been getting better each week. Some even believed that she could pull the upset and sing her way into the finale.

That was not the case, however, as voters decided that the combination of the two David's was too good to pass up. Archuleta and Cook will now form an all male finale next week.

The American Idol results show had viewers waiting until the final moments as usual, but in the end, the suspense was anticlimactic for those fans who felt they already knew the outcome.
