The American Idol 12 finale results show was held on Thursday, May 16, 2013, at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. It was aired live via satellite in the Philippines by Star World.
The show started off with host Ryan Seacrest presenting the season's Top 2 - Kree Harrison and Candice Glover. It was followed by a production number of the Top 10 singing and dancing to The Wanted's Glad You Came.
Scotty McCreery has just been declared as the tenth American Idol! He battled it out yesterday with Lauren Alaina who ended up in second place.
With a total of 122 million votes majority of which going to the 17-year-old young man from Garner, North Carolina, host Ryan Seacrest announced the country singer as the new American Idol.
Watch the announcement in the video below.
Beyonce, TLC, Jack Black, Tim McGraw, Tom Jones, Carrie Underwood, Bono, The Edge, Lil Jon, Kirk Franklin, Tony Bennett, Marc Anthony, and Lady Gaga were among the stars that performed in the finale. Judge Jennifer Lopez also gave a dance number during husband Marc's performance, and Steven Tyler rocked the house with his high pitched voice, perhaps showing the new breed of singers how to really do it.
Amidst the talks that Charice is going to perform a duet with Pia Toscano, the Filipina singing sensation wasn't seen on the show. Too bad.
Watch Scotty McCreery sing Love You This Much after the jump.
