The best tears are the tears that come from having your dreams come true! After auditioning three different times on American Idol, the super-determined and driven Candice Glover has been crowned the 12th winner of the series. Even through all the emotions — even while crying! — she managed to bust out a really solid performance of her single, “I Am Beautiful.” Now ...

Aretha Franklin joined the American Idol 2013 finale via satellite to say that Candice is a winner and — she and Kree both have promising careers ahead.

The Top 5 girls come out on stage to sing a medley of “Natural Woman” and some of her other hits long distance with with Aretha, which is certainly a new trick to us. Pretty cool actually.

American Idol Season 12 contestant Angie Miller is back on the stage performing “Titanium” at the piano with Adam Lambert!

Angie’s personal Idol, Miss Jessie J, appears later to perform “Domino” with Angie.

Jessie announces after the performance that she has named her new single “Wild” and she wants to fly Angie to the UK and sing it with her......

Candice Glover took the stage next with a performance of “Inseparable” with former American Idol diva Jennifer Hudson on the American Idol 2013 Finale Results. We can only hope that Candice will have as illustrious a career as Jennifer. Actually, she sounds pretty darn good up there with Jennifer and that’s quite a compliment! 

What did you think of...

American Idol 2013 contestant Amber Holcomb took the stage with with Emeli Sandé to perform “Next to Me.” After hearing what Candice Glover did on American Idol last night, we’re once again just not that impressed with Amber and think she really did deserve to be eliminated when she was.

What did you think of Amber and Emili's performance?
