Season 14 of American Idol has come to a close. The finale featured performances from Pitbull, Andy Grammer, Echosmith, Vance Joy, Steven Tyler, NKOTB and many more.

22-year-old Clark Beckham took on 29-year-old Nick Fradiani for the opportunity to become the next American Idol. Who took home the title?

FOX announced earlier this week that season 15 of American Idol would be its last.

Season 14 has had its ups and downs, but the final three--Jax, Clark Beckham, and Nick Fradiani--had been the strongest and most consistent throughout the season. Jax was considered by many to be the favorite, but she was surprisingly eliminated prior to Wednesday night's finale.
