It Happened Last Night: The Finale

Theo did it. Because I voted. Democracy works, folks.

For those of you who missed yesterday's show, read the recap over at CTV.ca. Over the next few days, I'll be linking you to all sorts of Theo and Mitch goodness (the press those guys have to do now is insane).

Theo Tams will now 'Sing' his song as the next Canadian Idol.
The 23-year-old music student from Lethbridge, Alta., was crowned the winner on Wednesday night's star-studded finale, beating out Mitch MacDonald, a 22-year-old carpenter and musician from Port Hood, N.S., after four million votes were cast.

Following an evening of performances by Mariah Carey, John Legend, Hedley, Jully Black and last year's champ Brian Melo, it was time to announce the results for the last time.

"After Canada voted more than 33 million times this season ... the next Canadian Idol is Theo Tams!" said host Ben Mulroney.

Tams put his hands to his face in shock before hugging MacDonald.

As red and white confetti fell from the ceiling, Mulroney asked Tams what he wanted to say.

"First of all I just want to say thanks to Mitch. He's a great guy, he's become a great friend and I'm going to be first in line to buy his record. Thanks so much," said Tams, before breaking down in tears.

Tams closed out the show with his brand new single 'Sing,' which will be released to radio stations immediately and available for download Thursday morning.

Immediately following his win, Tams signed a recording contract with Sony BMG Music Canada.
