Noah Thompson Admits He Felt ‘Numb’ After Winning American Idol
American Idol has crowned a new winner, and country music singer Noah Thompson was more surprised than anybody to hear his name called as the champion during Sunday's finale. The historic 20th season concluded on Sunday, May 22, with a jaw-dropping three-hour finale. Noah was declared the winner after receiving more of America's votes over the two other finalists, country singer HunterGirl and pop artist Leah Marlene. The contestants each performed a Bruce Springsteen song and an original song before Leah was eliminated in third place halfway through the show. Noah and HunterGirl each concluded their night of performances with a repeat of a song they did during the season.
