Who will become the next ‘American Idol’? In the finale, one contestant emerges victorious.
Los Angeles The next “American Idol” is—who is she? We learned the winner of the tournament on Sunday during an unusual season finale broadcast on ABC.
With a bang, the first episode of this season of “American Idol” marked Katy Perry’s farewell appearance at the judges’ table.
In a dazzling conclusion, the final trio of contestants Will Mosley, Jack Blocker, and Abby Carter competed for America’s votes one last time.
The judges for this season, Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan, were pleased with the final three singers after witnessing their progress week after week.
The three vocalists received mentoring from Jon Bon Jovi. Along with Bon Jovi, Nick Fradiani, Jason Mraz, New Kids on the Block, Hootie & the Blowfish, CeCe Winans, Wynonna Judd, James Bay, Cody Johnson, Seal, and Bishop Briggs, there were guest performances in this episode. Fantasia Barrino, a former “American Idol” winner, made an appearance on the program and encouraged the contestants.
Perry once performed while sporting a frock covered in the faces of all seven of her contestants.
So who did “American Idol” win?
Warning: Spoilers
Following Jack Blocker’s elimination from the competition, the top three dwindled to just two. This meant that Will Mosley and Abby Carter, a native of Southern California, were the final two competitors.
At the conclusion, Abby Carter was declared the champion by host Ryan Seacrest.
Carter remarked, “It doesn’t feel real,” following the show.I suppose the reason it doesn’t feel real is that, despite having this incredible title bestowed upon me, I still feel like myself.
