'Idol' Insider: Voice To Voice

The countdown is on as the "American Idol" divas prepare to duke it out on stage Tuesday night, and the final preparations at the Kodak theatre, which seats about 3,500 people, are underway in Hollywood. We sat down with the last two women standing, to see how they were feeling.

"I'm confident, but and the same time I'm like, 'Oh my God," Fantasia revealed.

So why does Diana believe America should pick her over frontrunner Fantasia? "I think I can bring a lot to the table," Diana insisted. "I've been doing it for a long time. I've paid my dues, and I'm ready to put Snellville on the map."

And while we all know these two can sing, here's what you don't know. Last year, Diana, the 2002 Miss Teen Georgia, was a finalist on NBC's "America's Most Talented Kid."

And can you imagine Fantasia with a different name? Well, the 19-year-old from North Carolina tells us that she almost changed her name to Latoya or Theresa. "I hated it in elementary school, but I love it now because everyone's like, 'Your name is so beautiful, is that a stage name?'"

So who'll be crowned the next "American Idol?" Tune in Wednesday night on FOX to find out.

And stay tuned to 'Extra" as Ryan Seacrest co-hosts our "'Idol' Insider week. We've got exclusives from the "Idol" stage Monday and Tuesday, and only we're along for the ride with the Diana and Fantasia as they head to Tuesday night's big show.
