LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Who won American Idol 2013 results tonight, who is the American Idol winner 2013, and who won Kree or Candice? American Idol 2013 results tonight May 16, 2013 named your winner: Candice Glover! Candice won American Idol after a stunning final three weeks of performances. Tonight she narrowly beat out her competitor in what many called one of the closest American Idol competitions in recent memory. The judges called this the best top two perhaps ever in the show’s history. But were fans happy with tonight’s American Idol 2013 final results for May 16, 2013?

Candice Glover’s I Am Beautiful and Kree Harrison’s All Cried Out coronation songs both drew standing ovations last night. The songs ended a season in which fans praised the quality of the singers. But fans had deep criticisms of the show overall. Many fans were left annoyed that the show had become more about the judges, their feuds, and their inflated salary checks and less about the performers.

Just several years ago, many viewers thought that the show’s lifespan could be coming to end. The singers were getting worse. The format seemed tired. And their debut albums were bombing.

This season, Idol underwent several changes. Among them were showing voting results, even geographically throughout the season. But in the end, it was the core quality of the singers that drew ratings.

And yet, many were perplexed about the fan reaction. Countless news analysts indicated last night that, while Candice dominated the telecast, Kree might still get voted tonight as winner.

For now it remains unclear if tonight’s winner will drive big album sales. The last major achievement was back in Season 10. At the time, Scott McCreery’s debut album Clear as Day became the first Idol debut album to go to number one on the US Billboard 200 since Ruben Studdard’s Soulful back in 2003. Congratulations to tonight’s winner. For more about Idol this season, click HERE.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Who won American Idol 2013 tonight, you will be the winner of American Idol 2013 in final results, and was the outcome for May 16 already decided in American Idol predictions 2013 three weeks ago? American Idol final results may ultimately not depend upon tonight’s performances. Many believe that, between Candice Glover and Kree Harrison, Candice clearly delivered the better performances this Wednesday night and deserves to win on Thursday. But others believe, that despite tonight’s performances, Kree Harrison has been the frontrunner this season and is still dominating American Idol predictions 2013.

For years, American Idol finale shows have been problematic. Very often the better singer in the finals doesn’t become the winner. Instead their win derives from an inherit support from viewers that built up over the season.

This year, that disconnect could return. Kree Harrison for many has been the favorite throughout the season, who faltered later in April but came back strong in May. Candice Glover, in contrast, is seen by many as the singer who delivered so much soul when it mattered, later in the season, progressively winning over fans, even arguably some of Kree’s biggest supporters. With two exceptional singers who will both have huge careers before them, many contend that Candice Glover clearly won tonight on stage, but that Kree may still win American Idol.

Tonight’s show featured Simon Fuller picking the first round of songs. Then the singers’ performed what would be their debut single. And finally they performed a song from earlier in the season. The judges gave a win to Candice in round one. They deemed it a tie in rounds two and three. Tonight Idol told news that the single(s) will be available for pre-order after the show tomorrow night.

Many believe that if Candice wins American Idol it will be because of her performance of “I Am Beautiful” in round 2. Others believe that Kree may still win because of her round 3 performance of “Up to the Mountain”. It earned her all standing ovations. Keith said it was “beautiful”, Nicki said it had “rich vocals”, Randy said it was “Kree’s best tonight”, and Mariah said it was “perfect”. Candice sung “I Who Have Nothing”. That also got a standing ovation. Mariah said that she would be listening to Candice for years to come.

In the end, the telecast was exceptionally close with two singers who both deserve to win. If viewers follow the judges’ positions tonight, Candice will be your American Idol. If not, anything is possible.
