Candice Glover was crowned the Season 12 winner of
"American Idol" on Thursday night, giving us all a lesson in hard
work and perseverance and proving that talent really can carry the day. She is
the first female "Idol" winner since Jordin Sparks in Season 6.
"I can't even …" she said after Ryan Seacrest had
named her as the winner and Kree Harrison, her bestie rival, as runner-up.
"Three years."
The lush-voiced 23-year-old soul singer from St. Helena
Island, S.C., who'd toiled as a travel agent, waiting for her chance to step
into the spotlight and show the world what she could do, had auditioned for
"Idol" twice -- in Seasons 9 and 11 -- before making it to the live
rounds this season. This year, she's said, she came back with a new confidence
and a clear sense of who she is.
