It shows that what you do on the final night is vital, and he did the performance of the series on the final night and duly took the win. Absolutely fair play.

Further down the field, the biggest surprise were Samuel J Comroe coming home in fourth which is a very considerable result for him, and the biggest shock was Courtney Hadwin, who was pegged to be right in the battle for the win, but she only managed what probably was sixth, didn't even make the top 5. I do feel very bad for her, the media were raising her hopes up so much by pegging her for the win, so she is gonna be quite disappointed, but I think she should be very pleased with how far she got. I think the reason she wasnt in the top 5 was people were kind of getting bored of her, and as close as the vote probably was at the front, it was enough to drop her out of the top 5. I do wish NBC would release voting stats for AGT, it would make for a very interesting analysis.

But congrats to Shin Lim, that is what happens when you save your big moment for when it matters most, where his rivals had their moments previously, he had his moment in the final and what a moment it was, with the performance of the series, and he thoroughly deserved the win. I mostly agree but I think the reason Courtney was in bottom 5 was because her fanbase was so confident she would win is that they didn't bother to vote. I do also really wish NBC would release the voting stats. As I keep saying, fan complacency is never a good thing. Another reason why I think Courtney lost is probably because she peaked way too early and her novelty factor declined while Shin, Zurcaroh and Brian were consistently getting stronger as each round went on tbh besides courtney, shin was the only finalist whose finals performance was obviously worse than the previous one. and vicki i guess but some people are dirty enough to think it was better sooo That's just your opinion that Shin Lim's performance worse than the previous one. I think I and a lot of the people here would disagree. A few people have agreed with me tho Perhaps there are other people who agreed with you on the wiki that I just didn't notice and you're entitled to your opinion but can you please remove the comment mentioning my real name? I have also asked an admin to remove it. I may have accidentally revealed it when showing posts of contestants responding to me on social media and I apologize for that but I think we'd all appreciate it if no one reveals each other's real names (including our own) in these forums
