The votes are in, and your America’s Got Talent season 12 champion is…Darci Lynne Farmer!
The 12-year-old won the night with her incredible singing ventriloquist act, bringing her puppet, Petunia, back Wednesday for a performance of Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) with fellow ventriloquist Terry Fator, who won season 2 of America’s Got Talent.
Wednesday’s finale featured a variety of stellar performances. Contestants Angelica Hale and Kechi kicked off the night by performing Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger with Clarkson herself, and Harvey took the stage with Shania Twain in a beautiful duet of You’re Still the One.
Singer, Angelica Hale came in second behind the ventriloquist.
Nigerian favourite, Kechi Okwuchi, who rose like a phoenix from a terrible Sosoliso plane crash that took 108 lives on December 10, 2005, came in sixth.
