America’s Got Talent has finally crowned its Season 21 champion after months of tantalizing wait, weeks of auditions, emotional performances and fierce competition. Host Terry Crews revealed the winner during Wednesday night’s star-studded finale. Nene Royal, 16-year-old singer and guitarist, claimed the coveted title and $1 million grand prize, after receiving the most votes from viewers.
The contestant from Phuket, Thailand, managed to narrowly beat magician Geno Ploeger for the first position, with magic act Hundred Fingers rounding up the three contestants in the final. Royal had proved to be an outstanding performer in the season as she managed to impress judges and the audience with her rock performances. The winning contestant marked the end of an exciting season, following an intense process that reduced hundreds of contestants down to five acts.
