Wow. That seems to have happened pretty quickly.

Just when we were starting to really get a feel for the wannabe pop stars on “American Idol,” the show is about to wrap up its 18th season in turbo-charged fashion.

On Sunday, the two-hour season finale will start off by eliminating two contestants — leaving us with a Top 5. Those five singers will then perform two songs apiece and your votes will determine who take the crown. (Voting will conclude during the East Coast airing).

With a group of five — instead of a final two, as with past seasons — the race seems more wide-open than ever. So who do you think should take the crown among these remaining contestants?
