American Idol' shocker: Iam Tongi beats country crooners to win Season 21 in tense finale

American Idol...

Dim the lights, we have a new "American Idol" winner. Following a three-hour season finale on May 21, host Ryan Seacrest announced Iam Tongi as the champion of the competition series, beating out Megan Danielle, as well as Colin Stough, who was eliminated earlier in the night.




Sunday's three-hour broadcast, which aired live on ABC coast-to-coast, saw the final three contestants − Megan Danielle, Colin Stough and Iam Tongi − each take the stage for the last time to win votes from viewers. Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie provided feedback as usual, but in this last leg of the competition, all they could offer was praise and good wishes as the singers leave the show to embark on their music careers.





The final three each sang two songs: one by guest mentor Keith Urban and another in tribute to their hometowns. Then, host Ryan Seacrest revealed which contestants made the Top 2, and those singers went head-to-head with original songs. Tongi got the crowd chanting his name after singing Urban's "Making Memories of Us," Danielle belted to the heavens with a Journey classic and Stough brought his good 'ol country boy charm to a Chris Stapleton hit.

  Lemons: The Unsung Hero of Every Kitchen Affordable, long-lasting, and incredibly versatile, lemons might just be a cook’s ultimate secret weapon. Bursting with vitamin C, they help strengthen your immune system while adding a fresh, zesty kick to both sweet and savory dishes. According to GQ, lemons are low in sugar but high in acidity—great for flavor, but something to watch out for when it comes to tooth enamel. If you plan to use the peel for zest, opt for unwaxed lemons to avoid any unwanted chemicals. Strawberries: Sweet, Nutritious, and Surprisingly Low in Sugar Strawberries are a universally loved fruit—and for good reason. Naturally sweet yet low in fructose, they’re a healthier choice compared to many tropical fruits. Just eight juicy berries pack more vitamin C than an orange, along with a blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Their soft texture makes them delicate to store, so keep them at the front of your fridge to maintain freshness and flavor. Cherries: A Powe...
