Move over Ace Young, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Hicks and Paris Bennett - or stay where you are...it's cool. Either way we're putting on the 3rd annual Irish Idol tonight and there's sure to be some stellar singers on stage tonight.

Thanks to the Class of 2008 the field has been narrowed from about 75 contestants down to the final 10. Come hear them perform, decipher the judges' comments and cheer on your favorites as 3 will make it to the final round. Here you can vote for the contestant you admire most to decide who will be the next Irish Idol and go on to win $500!

In case you were wondering, yes, there will be clips from the contestants who didn't quite make the cut...we know that's secretly everyone's favorite part of the show.

Head to Legends for that relaxed lounge feel -- it's a little something we're calling Club Jazz! That'r right, Club Jazz went so well the first time, we're bringing it back again.

Come enjoy the sounds of the Tom Mulherin trio. Following their performance, members of the ND community are welcome to share their favorite classic pieces as well. You heard us right, bring your instruments and singing voices because tonight you can take the stage. So grab some friends and come enjoy conversation, good music and, of course, cheap drinks tonight!
