And the Winner is............. Candice Glover!



I’m not sure who picked the opening song for all of the contestants from the Top 10 but, it was so not the right song choice for the finale. I understand the message that was given but, the contestants needed a song that contained a bit more vocals than that song gave. Sorry Idol, but that song choice sucked!

It’s so refreshing seeing the eliminated contestants perform with actual working Musicians. Just to name a few… The Band Perry and Janelle meshed very well together. Janelle really rocked out with them, she was so comfortable with that band, and it was very apparent that that was her genre, Country! I loved that ‘Idol Sabotage’ idea. It was very entertaining. (Laugh out loud) Mariah Carey will always be the ultimate ‘DIVA’, her singing a handful of her past hits in that gorgeous dress was perfect. Emeli Sande and Amber performing her song ‘Next to Me’ was pretty decent. I would’ve liked to see Amber with more of a powerhouse singer, but that performance was okay, I liked it. Now as for Candice and Jennifer Hudson, WHOAAAAA!!! American Idol should have prepped us somehow for that performance, the vocals on those two together was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

American Idol was full of tons of surprises tonight, them placing Angie with Adam Lambert singing ‘Titanium’, then to have Angie performing with her idol Jessie J was even more of a show. I honestly cannot wait to see Angie’s career take off, because I know with such a versatile voice like hers, so much success is bound to come her way. After that amazing performance yet another weird combo thrown together and worked in the contestants favor. Kree performing with Randy Jackson and Keith Urban by her side, along with Travis Barker on the drums was so interesting to watch. Kree has such a promising career ahead of her in the Country world, there’s no doubt about that. 

There were a few performances tonight I would have loved to seen instead of others, for example, I REALLY wanted to see Burnell perform ‘Ready for Love’ with India Arie. I would have rather enjoyed seeing that performance instead of that performance from Psy. The performance from Psy just seemed like a waste of time and energy. Tonight was just bittersweet in my opinion.

At the end of it all Candice and Kree finally performed together, and the results being presented afterwards. The winner of American Idol Season 12 is Candice Glover. And I honestly couldn’t be happier with that. Candice deserved that title. Week after week she constantly grew, and her performances were amazing from the start. This was Candice’s third season on the show, and she FINALLY got somewhere with it! I’m so proud of her! I wish her and Kree nothing but success, which I’m sure they’ll have. I can’t wait to see them soar. Good luck you guys. : )


See you guys next season!
