And I’m not one bit surprised! Like I told you at the beginning of the season, Russell won the viewers hearts with his passion, his positive attitude, and his powerful presence.
For me, this wasn’t the best season – it didn’t have enough “Oh my GOD!” moments and I only cried a couple of times (hush!). But Russell won my heart from the moment her first hit the stage to audition. That smile alone could have gotten him into the top 20!
And last night he took home first place! The evening took a turn south when Russell hurt himself at the end of a routine. He was forced to sit out for the rest of the evening, leaving the network scrambling for video of past performances.
All in all it was a great finale – and I think the right man won!!
