(Spoiler alert: Please do not keep reading if you haven’t seen the Season 15 finale of “American Idol”) “American Idol” crowned its final victor on Thursday night when host Ryan Seacrest declared 25-year-old Trent Harmon from Mississippi the winner of Season 15. But in the two-hours preceding, the finale paid tribute to the hugely successful 15-season run of the Fox singing competition show with dozens of performances and guest appearances. Past winners, contestants and judges returned to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood both to perform and to say goodbye to one of the most influential TV shows in history. »
