PureAGT Season 8 Finale – SPOILERS!!! Who Won???
Jee-zass…almost an hour and a half into the show before we get a single result??? And I have to wonder just what the producers were on when they decided it would be a good idea to have Hoda & Kathie Lee be a part of Collins’ trick…oy vey. On a good day, I find those women irritating – on a crap day like today, I think I’d rather fellate a hot curling iron than listen to them cackle. 😯 And for the love of god, reality tv shows, enough with that silly ass Icona Pop song!!!
…so without further ado, here are your final results for season 8:
6th place: Cami Bradley
5th place: Collins Key
4th place: Forte
3rd place: Jimmy Rose
Runner-up: Taylor Williamson
WINNER: Kenichi Ebina
I was pulling for Taylor to swoop in and pull out a win, but I’m happy that Kenichi won 🙂 Can we just take a minute to talk about some of the pitifully adorable faces Taylor was pulling while waiting for the results? And how in sharp contrast, Kenichi only has one expression…and it’s a strange combination of confusion and amusement? 😛 As for the rest – no good reason for Jimmy Rose to come in 3rd place. As I’ve said before – I’m sure he’s a very nice, god-fearing man with a heart of gold…but dude sounded TERRIBLE next to Dierks Bentley tonight. This is America’s Got TALENT, not “America’s Got a Sappy/Sad/Heartwarming Backstory and Can Sing Kinda Good, Too”. Surprised that Collins didn’t place higher, with all of the spamming for votes on Twitter that he was doing last night 😛
So what do you guys think? Did the right person win?
Taylor was my first pick to win, but I’m really happy Kenichi won 😀 Deserving winner for sure! Not happy at all Jimmy Rose got up to 3rd, I mean seriously? Collins, Cami, and Forte all should’ve been above him. Heck, I don’t even think he should’ve made the finals. But hey, I still like the guy, he’s a pretty good singer, and I wish him a good future! I think all of the finalists have bright futures ahead of them. Very talented group.
I’m just happy it wasn’t a singer. I was fine with either Kenichi or Taylor winning.
Kenichi’s lack of emotion can be explained by him not being familiar with American customs. When Nick said to keep clapping for Taylor, Kenichi went in for a hug, second guessed it, and I guess concluded it was a bad time so he waited it out.
Sure, Taylor and Kenichi are both winners. But to be honest, none of them REALLY won. The true victors were the viewers that got to see both in the same season. Also, taylor allows me to sneak “fat white bitches” into the comments section here. >:)
Wow, this has to be the first time I am with the AGT final results. Amazing season everybody, and I can’t wait for the next one!
During the finale I though Kenichi was going to get beaten by Jimmy Rose, but I was very wrong. Very well deserved Kenichi!!!
I`m happy with Kenichi winning. Jimmy Rose is a sweet, Christian man, but IMHO, Forte should have placed above him. I loved Earth, Wind and Fire`s performance. I`m looking forward to next year.
I’m ok with Kenichi winning. It’s the 1 1/2 of filler that I had a problem with! Thank goodness for ffwd on the dvr. lol
Yeah, I wish there wasn’t so much filler in the finale. It really started to drag on during the end.
I agree with you court hate klg because on her show she made an autistic kid cry. i did not watch the finale because let’s be honest the only we care if the actual results not the filler. congrats to kenichi best season ever!
Not a country music listener, but I thought the duet btw/n Jimmy Rose & Dierks Bentley was great…the best part of the whole overly-long finale. I’d buy Jimmy’s CD in a heartbeat & sorry he didn’t win…he’s a big talent who’s patriotic story isn’t divorced from his talent & song writing.
It’s only after hearing Jimmy that I now may listen to Bentley & I wanted to hear more of their duet…at least they got slightly more than the stupid 90 seconds that usualy confines the talent inorder to leave time for the “it’s all about me” judges.
I’m so happy with the results. I think America is finally realizing that a singer doesn’t have to win every single year! I couldn’t decide if I wanted Kenichi or Taylor to win so yeah. And the finale would’ve been better as a 1 hour episode like usual. BTW my favorite curse word is Dick Cheney.
