Following a frustrating season of over-production and way too much Khloe Kardashian, The X Factor wrapped up its second season run tonight.
Would Tate Stevens prove that country music rules all? Would Fifth Harmony shock the viewing world and prove that groups can actually win these singing competitions? Or would Carly Rose Sonenclar become a very young multi-millionaire?
After two hours of anticipation, the Season 2 winner was announced as...
TATE STEVENS!
Yes, the cowboy who was considered the front-runner all season long took it home in the end.
Deservedly so? Did America make the right choice?
