American Idol Crowns Season 22 Winner

American Idol Crowns Season 22 Winner in Stunning Finale

Los Angeles, CA – May 20, 2024 – After weeks of fierce competition, American Idol has crowned its newest champion in a star-studded season finale that left fans on the edge of their seats.

Samantha Cole, a 22-year-old powerhouse vocalist from Nashville, Tennessee, took home the title after an emotional showdown against finalists Marcus Vega, a soulful crooner from Chicago, and Lila Hart, a folk-pop singer-songwriter from Portland. The three-hour finale featured jaw-dropping performances, surprise celebrity duets, and even a tearful standing ovation from judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan.

Cole, who wowed audiences all season with her stunning range and heartfelt performances, closed the night with a show-stopping rendition of Whitney Houston’s 'I Have Nothing,' earning praise from the judges and a massive surge in viewer votes.

'This is a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl,' Cole said through tears as confetti rained down on the stage. 'Thank you to everyone who believed in me—this is just the beginning!'

The finale also featured special appearances by past Idol winners, including Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia Barrino, who performed their latest hits. In a shocking twist, judge Katy Perry—who announced earlier this season that she would be leaving the show—was given a heartfelt send-off, complete with a montage of her most memorable (and meme-worthy) moments.

With a recording contract and a bright future ahead, Samantha Cole now joins the ranks of American Idol legends. Fans are already buzzing about what’s next for the rising star—and whether she’ll follow in the footsteps of icons like Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks.

American Idol is expected to return for Season 23 in 2025.
