More from Watch with Kristin

The winner of American Idol has been revealed.

First, Jennifer Lopez debuted her new single, "Going In," on what was most likely her last night as an Idol judge. Aerosmith performed. There were tributes to Donna Summer and Robin Gibb. All of the finalists got to sing with previous Idol champs and the occasional legend. Ace Young asked Diana DeGarmo to marry him.

But it came down to that last minute, to the result based on the record 132.3 million votes cast in favor of either Phillip Phillips or Jessica Sanchez. Did the 21-year-old pawn-shop worker take it all, or did the 16-year-old powerhouse finally the break the guys' winning streak?

American Idol Elimination: Who's Going All the Way?!

More from Watch with Kristin

After weeks of competition, only two finalists remain on American Idol.

Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet all sung their hearts out last night with a margin of error that was smaller than ever. No one did a bad job, but not every performance was Phillip doing "We've Got Tonight," either.

Steven Tyler helpfully predicted last night that both Jessica and Joshua would win (and that Phillip could be a "new-age Boss," as in Bruce Springsteen), and the judges liked most everything to the nth degree, except for Jessica's take on "I'll Be There," which was "just OK" to Randy Jackson. And was Jimmy Iovine, who never hesitates to diss a song choice, still confident after the fact in the three choices he made for the contestants last night?

But, most importantly, who's competing in next Tuesday's performance finale?
