Last night's American Idol finale was SO STUFFED with ear (and eye) pleasuring performances, we're surprised the show didn't burst into a million little musical notes!

One such act featured eliminated contestant Amber Holcomb BELTING out Emeli Sandé's awesome jam Next To Me while standing RIGHT NEXT to Emeli herself. Brilliant!

Ch-ch-check out the delightful duet (above)!

Ooo it's very interesting to see how these rather different voices compliment each other AND the tune itself… and yes, Amber it slightly shaky at points, but it's never unbearable.

And, as usual, Emeli is wunderbar. LOVE!

Jennifer Hudson went back to where it ALL started!

The Oscar AND Grammy winner graced the American Idol stage for the finale on Thursday night with the newly crowned Candice Glover.

The former Idol and latest AI winner performed an INCREDIBLE duet of Inseparable.

Being the humble star that she is, Jennifer threw Candice the spotlight and told her to "sing it" at the song's end.

And the hopeful DEFINITELY held her own.

The fact that Candice wasn't outshined by Jennifer's powerhouse vocals only proves that gurlfriend is a true DIVA in the making.

Ch-ch-check out the performance that earned a standing ovation from the judges (above)!!!

Well it's about time, wouldn't you say?!

We've been watching Mariah Carey feud with her co-judge Nicki Minaj all season long on American Idol, but finally, during last night's larger-than-life season finale, the diva finally took the stage to do what she's much better known for - her SUPREME and INCOMPARABLE vocal stylingz!

And that's not all!

Gurlfriend used the opportunity to take us all on a trip down memory lane, with a medley of her most beloved tunes, including Vision Of Love, Make It Happen, My All, Hero, We Belong Together…and of course, her latest #Beautiful, which just became her 27th number one on the R&B/Hip Hop Charts!

Mimi took to Twitter that very evening to share:

Thank you for supporting # beautiful and making it #1 on R&B! #L4L!!!!!!! twitter.com/MariahCarey/st…

We knew that Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were bringing an inevitably SEXY spectacle to the American Idol finale, and the so-hot-it-hurts pair did NOT disappoint!

Prepare to SHAKE your asses and watch JLo and Pitbull's live performance of Live It Up from last night's Idol (above)!

Now wait… HOLD UP!

Is Mariah Carey the ONLY AI judge who doesn't stand up and clap for Jennifer at the end of her killer dance number?! UMMM YUP!

We guess the Beautiful butterfly queen really DID get pissed about those rumors claiming Idol execs wanted to replace her with Jenny Jen!

Oooof, awkkkwarrd!

It’s a particularly close race this year as the top two American Idol contestants duke it out through the final round.

Powerhouse singers Kree Harrison and Candice Glover came to a head last night, performing three songs each: a song of their choice, one chosen by Simon Fuller and their respective coronation song.

Kree took to the stage first with her rendition of Sarah McLachlan’s Angel, followed by her country ballad All Cried Out, and Patty Griffin’s Up To The Mountain. Meanwhile, Candice performed Adele’s Chasing Pavements, her song I Am Beautiful, and I Who Have Nothing.

But as both sang absolutely beautifully, we were left completely undecided. These ladies are just too good!

Ch-ch-check out a couple of their performances (below)!!

Mariah Carey and American Idol may not be crossing paths next season, but it really doesn’t matter.

Why?? Because this lady has some surprises in store! Given the success of her new collaboration with Miguel (#1 in 25 countries already!!), Mariah could be planning on riding her own coattails round the world!

With a world tour, that is!!!

It's clear Nicki Minaj doesn't give a shiz what people think about her and now we know why!!!

Nicki confessed to Teen Vogue that she had to deal with her fair share of sticky icky times during her childhood, especially when her parents argued, but it was those obstacles that prepared her for the sometimes immature music industry and made her capable of shutting out the haters.

The tough-as-nails American Idol judge revealed:
