It finally happened. After weeks of jaw-dropping performances, standing ovations, and some “wait, they made it to the finals?” moments, America’s Got Talent Season 20 finale crowned its winner — and it's a name you probably already know. Jessica Sanchez, reality TV veteran and powerhouse vocalist, snagged the top spot and the million-dollar prize during Wednesday night’s star-studded finale. That’s right, the girl who nearly won American Idol in 2012 just reminded America that she’s not done yet. Not even close.
The Road to Victory: A Veteran Returns
For those keeping score, Jessica Sanchez is not new to this. She was a semifinalist on AGT Season 1 almost twenty years ago (yes, that just made you feel old). She’s also known for finishing second on American Idol, where she lost to Phillip Phillips in a season that arguably aged like milk. Now, with a win on AGT Season 20, she has officially checked off the comeback of the decade.
Throughout the season, Jessica consistently delivered powerhouse vocals and unforgettable stage presence.
Who Did She Beat?
The finale featured ten talented acts, but only one could leave covered in golden confetti. Here’s how the final rankings shook out:
Second Place: Chris Turner
Third Place: Jourdan Blue
Fourth: Leo High School Choir
Fifth: Light Wire
The bottom five included Mama Duke, Micah Palace, Sirca Marea, Steve Ray Ladson, and Team Recycled. Great performances all around, but in the end, Jessica owned that stage.
An America's Got Talent Finale Full of Flash and Feel-Good Nostalgia
As always, the AGT finale pulled out all the stops with performances by Ciara, Leona Lewis, and returning fan favorites like Richard Goodall and Sainted. But let’s be real. The night belonged to Jessica.
A Win for Talent and Timing
Jessica Sanchez’s win on America’s Got Talent Season 20 is more than just a victory lap. It’s a testament to staying power, growth, and the kind of voice that doesn’t quit. If there were ever a moment for reality TV redemption, this was it.
