Jamal Roberts and John Foster were the final two on Season 23 of American Idol, with the winner announced during the live Sunday, May 18, finale. Ryan Seacrest was standing next to the final two contestant on stage as he announced the results of the nationwide vote.

"American Idol" named its Season 23 winner following performances by finalists Jamal Roberts, John Foster and Breanna Nix.

The "American Idol" judges are weighing in on why they think any of the top three contenders could take the title. Breanna Nix, a 25-year-old stay-at-home mom from Texas, is one of three singers who will compete Sunday night with a one in three chance of being named the next "American Idol."

John Foster ended Season 23 of American Idol as runner-up behind Jamal Roberts, and he’s not looking to let the momentum slow down anytime soon. Following the Sunday, May 18, finale, the teenager already has plans for what’s next.
