AGT Finale

TOPIC: America's Got Talent: The Finale

FACT: After months of auditions, weeks of outstanding live performances and talent in creative fields such as singing, dancing, comedy and even dog training, the newest season of America's Got Talent finally has a winner! :)

Last night concluded one of AGT's most popularly rated seasons thus far, ending with one final two-hour episode called "The Finale", where the ten remaining finalists witnessed who would ultimately walk out as the winner. Additionally, the live audience got to view stunning performances not only between the acts themselves, but with the acts performing side-by-side mega superstars such as Kelly Clarkson and James Arthur.

The 12th season of the reality competition series was hosted by television personalty Tyra Banks, who was also the one to reveal that this season's $1 million prize-winner was none other than 12-year-old ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer. After watching last year's season where singer Grace VanderWaal was crowned winner, I personally found Farmer and VanderWaal very similar, as both girls can sing, both won the show at the young age of 12, and both won the hearts of America with their creatively talented acts. What was different about these two season though, was that Tyra announced that this was one of AGT's most popular seasons yet -- receiving over a solid 50 million votes just for the acts who made it through to the finals. 

The ten finalists this year were singer Angelica Hale, deaf singer-songwriter/ukuleleist Mandy Harvey, singer-songwriter/guitarist Chase Goehring, stand-up comedian Preacher Lawson, light-up dance troupe Light Balance, dog act Sara and Hero, acrobatic dance group Diavolo, singer Evie Clair, plane survivor and singer Kechi, and of course, singing ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer. Each and even one of these sensational acts fought long and hard for a place in the finals, but only one walked out of the Dolby Theatre with the $1M. 

Did you watch this year's season of AGT? I know I did, and in fact, I made my parents sit through it too. ;) 

Here is Darci Lynne's unbelievable performance at the Finals this season, with the video generating over 15 million views in a week. But if I am being completely honest here, I was rooting for Mandy.
