Andy Capwell’s ‘American Idol’ Recap: The Finale Part One [POLL]

Season 14 of 'American Idol' began it's two-night finale last night. The show opened with one of the final three being eliminated, Jax goes home and finishes in third place. That leaves Clark versus Nick in the finals. Here's how the night went for them.

Round One: Contestants choose a song they did from this season.

Clark: 'Georgia On My Mind' Clark was vocally spot on and the performance was finale worthy. A-.

Nick: 'Bright Lights' Nick was awesome as well! Nick seems more marketable than Clark and I can imagine hearing him on the radio. A-

Round Two: Songs chosen by American Idol creator Simon Fuller

Clark: 'Ain't No Sunshine' Clark sings it acoustically with a guitar and it was awesome. The only fault is that Clark closes his eyes a lot and doesn't engage the audience. A.

Nick: 'I Won't Give Up'. It was very good but not quite great. Really is you listened to the song, there wasn't much there lyrically to work with. B.

Round Three: This is the single they'll release if they win.

Clark: 'Champion' The message of the song is good but it really doesn't suit Clark's voice. It seemed like he wasn't very comfortable with it. B-

Nick: 'Beautiful Life' The song seemed to have way too many lyrics for the melody. However, Nick sang it like he's been singing it for years. This was good. A-

Great finale overall. A few weeks ago, I would have said Clark has got this. Now, I think Nick might be your next American Idol.
