Jessica Sanchez Wins America’s Got Talent Season 20

America chose the nine-months-pregnant singer in a two-part finale driven by live voting and star collaborations.

Overview

  • Host Terry Crews announced Sanchez as the $1 million champion, with freestyle rapper Chris Turner finishing second in the live results show.
  • Final placements put Jourdan Blue in third, Leo High School Choir fourth, and LightWire fifth, with the remaining finalists eliminated earlier in the broadcast.
  • Viewers cast votes via the AGT and NBC apps or at NBC.com/agtvote, with up to 10 votes per act allowed during the designated window.
  • Sanchez, a Season 1 alum who returned this year and performed while nine months pregnant, earned Sofía Vergara’s Golden Buzzer and closed the competition with “Die With a Smile.”
  • The finale featured onstage pairings including Ciara with Team Recycled, Leona Lewis with LightWire, Aloe Blacc with Leo High School Choir, Manuel Turizo with Micah Palace, and The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue with Jourdan Blue, as some viewers questioned the outcome favoring Sanchez over Turner.
