The Season 20 finale of “America’s Got Talent” on September 24, 2025, was packed with emotional moments, stunning performances, and a winner reveal that sparked debate among fans. Host Terry Crews guided viewers through the high-stakes night as the top five acts competed for $1 million and the AGT crown. Fan-favorite LightWire was the first to be eliminated, followed by the inspiring Leo High School Choir, whose heartfelt farewell moved even Simon Cowell to praise their talent and impact. This left three finalists: comedian Chris Turner,
singer Jourdan Blue, and powerhouse vocalist Jessica Sanchez. Blue finished in third place, leaving Turner and Sanchez as the final two contenders. Turner wowed the audience with an electrifying freestyle rap, while Sanchez delivered a deeply emotional performance, marking her return nearly two decades after first appearing on AGT as a 10-year-old. In the end, Sanchez was crowned the winner, bringing her journey full circle. However, the announcement caused a stir online, with many fans claiming Turner was robbed and voicing frustration over the outcome. Despite the controversy, the milestone 20th season ended with a powerful reminder of why AGT remains one of TV’s most thrilling and unpredictable competitions.
