America has picked its season nine finalists and competing for the title of American Idol are bluesy mama from Ohio, Crystal Bowersox and soulful paint salesman from Illinois, Lee DeWyze.

Bowersox and DeWyze beat out judge Kara DioGuardi's crush, Texan Casey James to nab a spot in Tuesday's finale.

Crystal and Lee have been the front runners pretty much throughout this competition, which may have accounted for the relatively low amount of votes this week (Seacrest said 47 million voted them into the finale while 88 million votes were cast for Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen at this stage in the competition last year.)

Who will you vote for in next week's finale?
