The final tears have fallen from Jennifer Lopez's eyes. And Ryan Seacrest has signed off for the final time.
Indeed, following 15 seasons of highs and lows... missed notes and perfect notes... judges who flirted and judges who nearly came to blows... American Idol signed off for good on Thursday night.
The two-plus hour event included a return from familiar faces such as Randy Jackson and Kelly Clarkson, the latter of whom sang a medley of her greatest hits.
There was also a David Bowie tribute, appearances by Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia and even President Obama recorded a message to be played over video.
But there was last piece of business to conduct prior to saying goodbye: selecting a winner!
Would it be Trent Harmon, the soulful 25-year old from Armory, Mississippi?
Or would it be La'Porsha Renae, the 22-year old who also hails from Mississippi and whose emotion pours through with every performance?
"I worked so hard. I know that I had a God-given ability, but I didn't want to take it for granted," Harmon said through years to conclude the show. "I wanted to work so hard, and [Renae] pushed me to do it."
So there you have it.
What do you think, fans? Who SHOULD have won the final season of American Idol?
