Candice Glover has won American Idol - at her third attempt.
The 23 year old, from Beaufort, South Carolina beat out competition from rival Kree Harrison to scoop the 12th season title on Thursday (16May13).
It was Glover's third time on the show, after two previous years of
failing to make the cut.
When host Ryan Seacrest announced the result, stunned Glover
gasped, "Three years!"
Glover first appeared on the singing contest in 2010, when she
reached the last 70 before missing out. She returned in 2012 but
was axed after reaching the final 40.
