American Idol finale predictions

With the end of season five of American Idol finally in sight, it’s time to try and predict what will happen during the show’s finale. If the two-hour final show is anything like this season has been, it’ll be nothing more than a prolonged snooze fest that lacks a true sense of excitement.

Here are some predictions of what you can (or can’t expect) during from the final two performances and the American Idol finale.

# Paula Abdul WON’T cry during the finale; she’ll be too wasted/tired to do so. Click here

# There will be not one, but TWO really awful group performances.

# Backed by the band Fuel, Chris Daughtry will perform "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)."

# Kellie Pickler’s father, Bo, who was recently released from prison, will be in the audience.

# Among the celebrities likely to be spotted in the audience: Teri Hatcher, Lisa Rinna, Heather Locklear, Famke Janssen, Abe Vigoda, Frankie Muniz, Brad Garrett, Anna Paquin, Michelle Trachtenberg.

# The Brittenum boys will make their triumphant return to Idol and will somehow end up on stage during the finale.

# Regrettably, there will be no wardrobe malfunctions. However, Kellie Pickler and Melissa McGhee will show off plenty of cleavage.

# Neither Taylor Hicks nor Katharine McPhee will have an "idol moment." In fact, their performances will be mediocre and deemed "just OK" by the judges.

# Taylor will slip and nearly fall on the Kodak Theater stage during one of his performances.

# Knowing it takes skin to win, Katharine will bare as much cleavage as possible and will go on to upset Taylor and become the next American Idol.
