Candice Glover is the new "American Idol" winner. The 23-year-old
beat out Kree Harrison to take the "American Idol" crown for Season 12.
Glover is the first female winner since Jordin Sparks won "American
Idol" Season 6. Third time's the charm it seems, this season was the
third time Glover tried out for "American Idol."
Glover's vocals brought the judges to their feet and to tears over the course of Season 12. At one point, judge Mariah Carey glitter bombed the contestant.
The "American Idol" finale opened with group number featuring the Top
10 contestants singing The Wanted's "Glad You Came" to an audience
filled with past "Idol" winners and contestants. Janelle Arthur took the
stage with The Band Perry and the Top 5 "Idol" boys sang a medley with
surprise guest Frankie Valli.
Mariah Carey finally took to the "American Idol" stage to sing a medley of hits, including her current single "#Beautiful."
In addition to Frankie Valli, there were plenty more celebrity
cameos. Emeli Sande joined fourth runner-up Amber Holcomb to sing her
hit "Next To Me" and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson showed up to sing
"Inseparable" with Candice Glover.
Angie Miller sang "Titanium" with Adam Lambert and then did a
surprise duet with Jessie J. The singer then invited Miller to appear
with her on tour.
The Top 5 "Idol" women also did a medley with Aretha Franklin via
satellite. The special guests didn't stop there: Jennifer Lopez returned
to "American Idol" and performed with Pitbull.
