American Idol fans will find out tonight who the last 3 members of the Final 12 are.  Last night, the judges announced that 8 previously eliminated contestants will duke it out tonight for the 3 open spots.

Anoop Desai fans celebrated when their favorite bluesy crooner was tapped as the last of the contestants given this second chance, and now are anxiously awaiting tonight’s broadcast.  The details of exactly how the final 3 will be chosen, however, have been kept very vague.  Will they sing for the slot?  If so, do the judges decide?  Is there an applause-o-meter?  Will there be a dance-off?  Will Tatiana and Kara DioGuardi have an ultimate cage match to determine her worthiness?

All these questions and more will be answered tonight.  In the meantime, Anoop fans can of course sport their support with some Noop Dog T-shirts.

UPDATE: He made the cut – great news for Anoop and everyone who’s down with the Noop Dogg.
