On the night of Wednesday, September 20th, over 15 million people in the United States tuned into their local TV stations to watch the America's Got Talent Season 12 finale of a lifetime. I was one of those people watching that night with my friends and my family to see who would win the one million dollars and the Las Vegas show. We were waiting to see the winner out of the ten finalists that performed the night before. They all had outstanding points about their performances and they all deserved to be on that stage!
All ten acts that performed the night before and who were competing for the one million dollar prize and the headline show in Las Vegas were Angelica Hale, Preacher Lawson, Diavolo, Light Balance, Kechi Okwuchi, Evie Clair, Chase Goehring, Darci Lynne Farmer, Sara and Hero, and Mandy Harvey. They are all different acts from singing to dancing to comedy to ventriloquism and they all had something special to add to the night.
Meanwhile in the finale, all of the acts performed with famous people such as Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain, James Arthur, and Terry Fator, the ventriloquist who won Season Two of America's Got Talent. That was a beautiful time with the acts getting to perform with people who would get them more out there than they already are just being on the show.
Well, if you didn't know yet, the top five for the show in order from fifth to first were Sara and Hero in fifth place, Mandy Harvey in fourth place, Light Balance in third place, Angelica Hale in second place, and the winner of the million dollars and the Vegas Show Headline was Darci Lynne Farmer.
Darci, I thought, deserved the first place spot. I know just by looking at social media that I and so many other people were all very happy or satisfied with the results of the show. Her ventriloquism is just so amazing after only two years of practice and performing and that just deserves some form of recognition alone. Darci took everything a step up with singing with her closed mouth and in her final performance, her idea of using two puppets was genius!
But I had one question after Darci won America's Got Talent this year, why are tween girls so talented?
Just think about it for a second. Darci Lynne is twelve currently and she won Season 12 this year. In Season 11 last year, Grace VanderWaal won. Grace was twelve when she auditioned and she just had turned thirteen when she won America's Got Talent. The past two seasons have both been won by little girls in their tween years.
Both of them have their own original ideas with Darci using her puppets and Grace with her singing and songwriting. They both have very unique things about them! I guess honestly tween girls are the ones that have all of the ideas because they have been using their ideas with their talents to amaze and make America fall in love with them.
Basically, I wouldn't be surprised if we get another tween girl next year who ends up getting to the top 5 and most likely win again. I wouldn't mind that either. It will just prove my fact more that tween girls are just extremely talented and they will continue to step out into the spotlight and use their talents to wow the people of the world again and again!
