American Idol: [Spoiler] Wins Season 21 After Semi-Surprising Finale — Watch

American Idol wrapped another season on Sunday with a three-hour event that ended with the crowning of the show’s 21st winner.

Colin Stough, Iam Tongi and Megan Danielle took the stage one last time, performing live for America’s votes. Idol also welcomed back the rest of the season’s Top 12 — Haven Madison, Lucy Love, Marybeth Byrd, Nutsa, Oliver Steele, Tyson Venegas, Warren Peay, Wé Ani and Zachariah Smith — for special performances alongside some of the biggest names in music. (Speaking of names, didn’t at least one of those contestants make you wonder, “Wait, they were in this season?” It’s been a long couple of months, people.)
