Candice Glover Wins American Idol Amid 47 Percent Drop in Viewers
. "Persistence, determination and a lot of talent. You deserve it," Ryan Seacrest told Glover, who auditioned for AI twice before her win this season. Meanwhile, the judges showed off their powerhouse singing with former contestants. Keith Urban's new single "Little Bit of Everything" made its television premiere, while Mariah Carey brought us back to the '90s with a montage of her hits, complete with a wind-blown look. Even former AI judge Jennifer Lopez took the stage for her clubtastic summer jam "Live It Up." Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson, PSY, Jessie J, Travis Barker, The Band Perry, Aretha Franklin, and Frankie Valli also took the Idol stage. Despite the A-list performers, the Season 12 finale didn't rack up the numbers. According to Deadline, the two-hour finale last night was down 47 percent from last season's finale. Idol pulled in 13.61 million viewers last night � 8 million less than the 21.5 million who watched last season's finale. Season 12 is the first Idol finale to have less than 20 million viewers. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
