'La Voz Kids' Season Finale: Amanda Mena of Prince Royce's Team Is Named Winner
Sunday was the last episode of "La Voz Kids," and after weeks of battling it out, the winner was named.
It came down to Natalia Loya, Amanda Mena and Leslie Mendoza.
Amanda Mena, who was on Prince Royce's team, took home the title. Amanda, 11, is of Dominican Republic descent like her coach. The two broke out into cheers as her name was announced.
"Congratulations Amanda for winning 'La Voz Kids,'" he said, TV Y Novelas noted. "Thank you to everyone for your support and for casting your vote every week. I'm proud and happy of everything that my team accomplished in this competition."
The finale brought many performers on the stage, such as Roberto Tapia, David Bisbal and Calibre 50. Tapia sang his new song "Mi Niña."
Amanda will receive a contract with Universal Music Latin Group, $50,000 via AT&T and $10,000 from Chrysler Corporation.
"Dreams do come true," Amanda said after winning. "I came here wanting to learn music, and I was and will always be #TeamRoyce. Thank you to my country, the Dominican Republic, the people of Lynn, Massachusetts and my coach, Prince Royce."
This is the second time that Royce has won.
Amanda was chosen from thousands of children. She sang Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" during the blind audition, where she got a standing ovation from all three coaches.
The runners up, Natalia and Leslie, also received $10,000 from Chrysler.
The young sister has received plenty of comments on Twitter, and she has been retweeting some of the sweetest ones.
A week ago, one said, "Just voted for You from all the phones in my house. You got this girl #TeamRoyce."
And her last Instagram picture is of her and Prince Royce with big smiles on their faces.
"This is the best moment of my life I am so grateful I love you guys so much you guys made my life better," she said. "Without god, family, and my beautiful fans I would be nothing and remember that I will never stop fighting for my dreams."
