It's that time again! Tonight—from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, live on FOX—this season's American Idol Top 3 will each perform three songs for the judges' critiques and our votes. Want in on the action? Your open thread is inside.

Here's the gist of what to expect tonight: Three finalists, each singing three songs (one chosen by the judges, one chosen by Jimmy Iovine, and one chosen by the finalist). The episode lasts two hours and will air live on FOX. Ryan Seacrest hosts, and the judging panel consists of Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson.
