The Results

All  three contestants nervously awaited the resultsAmerica finally finds out who out of the Top 3 Finalists won the $5 million recording contract and a music video debut during the Grammys! Coming in third was Simon Cowell's girl group Fifth Harmony, and coming in second was 13-year-old diva Carly Rose Sonenclar, who was mentored by the Queen of Pop herself, Britney Spears. That means that there's only one person left - country crooner Tate Stevens!

Tate is Great

Finding out who won last night wasn't the only thing that audiences had to look forward to, they also got performances by world-renowned rapper Pitbull, who sang "Don't Stop the Party" and a performer from everyone's fave British boy band (and former X Factor UK contestants) One Direction! One Direction was put together by Simon Cowell, just like  Fifth Harmony.

Tate Stevens walked away with the $5 million recording contract, and Host Mario Lopez said his life would never be the same, his wife and kids are probably glad he finally followed his dream!
