After 16 long, exciting weeks -- and one of the greatest, most emotional finals in the history of the show -- America's Got Talent crowned a new champion on Wednesday. It all came down to Voices of Service, Ryan Niemiller, V. Unbeatable, the Detroit Youth Choir and Kodi Lee. And the America's Got Talent season 14 champion is...... the inspirational pianist Kodi Lee! Other performances included Leona Lewis -- who performed with Lee -- as well as Cher and Billy Ray Cyrus.

But, fans didn't find out who among the three got the axe until the final moments of the special episode. The two acts to step up alongside the acrobatic dance crew were Swedish musician Chris Klfford and Australian magician Dom Chambers. While Dowis' art is undeniably impressive and emotional, Beasha is a vocal powerhouse who shouldn't have been in jeopardy in the first place. The long-awaited America's Got Talent finals kick off Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
