After Jackie "Jax" Cole was voted out, Clark Beckham, 22, and Nick Fradiani, 29, are left to battle it out for the "American Idol 2015" crown on May 13, Wednesday, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
Coming from White House, Tennessee, Beckham auditioned in Nashville with James Brown's "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World." Two of his most memorable "American Idol 2015" performances were his performances of the songs "Yesterday" by The Beatles and "The Trouble With Love Is" by "American Idol" season 1 champion Kelly Clarkson.
Hailing from Guilford, Connecticut, Fradiani sang "In Your Eyes" originally performed by Peter Gabriel during his audition in Brooklyn. His Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" performance is considered one of his best "American Idol 2015" performances.
Either Beckham or Fradiani will become the second to the last winner of "American Idol" as Fox has confirmed the singing competition will have its final season in 2016.
Shortly after the announcement of the cancellation of the show, the Fox's singing competition's official website has also announced audition dates and venues for "American Idol 2016," which will start in July 10 at the Denver Coliseum in Denver, Colo., followed by an audition at Martin Luther King Jr. Arena in Savannah, Ga., on July 22.
Meanwhile, "American Idol 2015" top three has some interesting facts about her. While she uses Jackie Cole as her full name in the "American Idol 2015" show, Jax apparently was born Jackie Miskanic. Her father John Miskanic is a retired FDNY firefighter who was injured on the job while responding in the 9/11 attacks, according to Heavy.
