Final 2018

The Finalists were called back to stage one last time for the announcement of the winners of Season 12. It’s always a
bittersweet moment; someone is about to be elated and others will be utterly let down. We do our best to help the
contestants understand that to a certain degree, it’s all a game of chance. We all have good days and bad days. The
person who wins is usually the one who was able to make magic happen right when they needed it. That, along with a
great pair of songs, is often what’s needed to sway the opinions not only of the people in the audience but, of course,
the judges. We believe that, so far, we have always succeeded in having the best performances of the night win the top
prizes. Could the outcome have been different on a different night? Very possibly. That’s why we are always happy to
welcome back all contestants, even those who have already succeeded in making it to the Grand Finale.

Once the results were revealed, 1st place in the Adult category was handed to April-Joyce Bulangcao and 2nd place
went to Precious Hernandez. First place in the Juvenile category went to Samantha Gavin and the 2nd spot went to
Sanskriti Akhoury. Samantha and April will each return to perform one of the songs from their album with the band at
this Season’s Grand Finale. We are very excited to hear them!
