AmericanIdol finale recap: Season 18's winner has been crowned
finale, they were destined to make history as the first champ to celebrate from the comfort of their own home. Not by choice of course, by due to the way the 18th season of the beloved singing competition had to completely change things up mid-way due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
After a cut from seven to five and then the top two, the season's most inspiring singer, Just Sam, 21, shook her head in disbelief when Seacrest read her name as she celebrated alone in quarantine while holding an iPad tuned to her elated grandmother cheering her on from afar. Dressed in an appropriately glittery gold jacket and regal red shirt, the dumb-struck subway singer said, "my dreams have come true... I would have never ever, ever expected this.
Spiritual cowboy Dillon James, 26, of Bakersfield, California, took a rough road to the finale, but his country-infused cover of Eric Claptons's "Change the World,' set amid a garden of candles in his family's backyard, deserved to be in the final five; he returned later for a smoldering ramble through Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'."
Harlem's Just Sam, went from singing on a subway to becoming the only woman to make it to the top five, capping her improbable rise to become the seventh female winner in show history with a technicolor, powerful run through originalsuperstar Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger "; her second selection was Andra Day's moving "Rise Up," which clearly helped seal the deal.
