From entrance to exit, she had the audience in a frenzy.Shelly G proved that after years of competing, it was her time to be the monarch, and aside from showing maturity in stage performance, her vocal ability also stood out. She also employed the abilities of a midget and the ever popular granny character, which added to the thrills for the audience.

With fireworks, theatrics and dancers from the X Factor, Classique Theater and the Dance Fanatics, there was never a dull moment on stage and for the audience either.

The night's presentation from the 12 competitors was one full of drama and theatrics, but Shelly's main competition came from Melissa 'Vanilla' Roberts who behaved "Rude" in the true sense of having a grand time.Despite her high energy presentation, she was able to stay on key after experiencing an off- key start. Vanilla also wooed the crowd when she took her presentation to the next level, as she was carried almost to the judges' table above the crowd by four muscular men, she gyrated and sang as the audience parted to let her pass in celebratory tones.

The third place finisher was Lil' Man, who performed under the moniker B52.

Newcomer Mark Batson and Passion had commendable performances.

The longest performance of the night was Tomeeka Thomas, who started her performance in clear skies, sang through the rains and into the clear skies again for about thirty minutes, while the competition's time was 15 minutes. Hers was a presentation that included a snake charmer and an Arabian dancer. But before long, after much shouting and screaming her voice became shaky and cracked several times as she sang "Wine and shake." Though none of the duos made it to the top three, there can be no argument about their vocal abilities, despite some amount of lack of coordination.

Commendation is in order for the duo Purrsonality, for also showcasing their singing abilities. While they tried to create an atmosphere of being "Wet", the audience was not amused. Theirs was a Latin crossover.

The winner took home $ 750,000 while the second place and third place finishers took home $ 400,000 and $ 200,000 cash respectively. The best newcomer got $100,000.... the event was sponsored by Carib Beer and GTT's Cellink Plus.
