All the votes were counted for Wednesday’s (Sep 19) finale, but of course – they made us wait until the very last second of the broadcast to find out who won!
While we were patiently waiting for the results, the episode was jam-packed full of, well…talent! Among the awesome performances Wednesday night was legendary rock band KISS performed “Detroit Rock City,” and Michael Ketterer performed a song written by the one and only Garth Brooks!
