The votes are in and the new American Idol is…Candace Glover! The South Carolina hopeful beat out Kree Harrison during an all-star finale last night on Fox. According to THR, over 14.3 million tuned in to see who would win the coveted title.
The evening was filled with guest performances including Aretha Franklin, Psy, Jesse J, and Emile Sande. Jennifer Hudson teamed up with Glover for a duet of “Inseparable while Adam Lambert sang with the second-runner up Angie Miller for the tune “Titanium.” Current Idol judge Mariah Carey graced the stage with a song and ex-Idol judge, Jennifer Lopez gave a high energy dance performance of her current hit “Live It Up.”
Kudos Candice! RC is looking forward to your album, Music Speaks, when it debuts in July.
