You've probably heard by now that America's Got Talent crowned a new winner last night and a 12-year-old girl took home the $1 million dollar prize.
Singer-songwriter Grace VanderWaal wowed the judges and viewers at home all season with her infectious personality and wonderful talent. While her singing and songwriting abilities have been compared to Taylor Swift, many have also said that the young girl's voice reminds them of Janice Joplin or Stevie Nicks, who VanderWaal got to introduce during the Sept. 14 finale.
America voted and when all those votes were tallied the youngster came out on top, beating the other nine incredible finalists she was up against. So what does a 12-year-old do with the $1 million she won?
Right after her victory VanderWaal told People that she is going to donate it to charity, most likely a music charity. However, there is one thing she really wants as well "but I want to go on Treehouse Masters and I want to get a treehouse."
The top three finalists in this year's competition were Vanderwaal; the Clairvoyants, a mentalist duo made up of Thommy Ten and Amelie van Tass and Philadelphia Eagles long snapper, Jon Deronbos, who stunned everyone with his amazing card tricks. As host Nick Cannon revealed, each were separated by just one percent of the votes.
Two other solo singers, Brian Justin Crum and Sal Valentinetti rounded out the top five.
