Tiffany Evans is Ultimate Junior Singer Champion
Ten-year-old Tiffany Evans from Ocean City, New Jersey was proclaimed the Best of the Best tonight when she won the Junior Singer STAR SEARCH BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS and the $100,000 Grand Prize. Tiffany performed first, and her tour-de-force interpretation of the classic "Stormy Weather" stunned all three judges. A tearful Naomi Judd cried, "I have never in all my years witnessed someone with such phenomenal talent, natural talent," and gave Tiffany "five beautiful stars." The second Champion was Tournament 2's 12-year-old David Archuleta from Sandy, Utah, singing "I Surrender." Closing the category was the Tournament 3 Champion, ten-year-old Mark Mejia from San Diego, California, with a crowd-pleasing version of the Jackson 5's "I Surrender." The judges, who were only three tonight instead of the usual four, were awed by all three performances, but when their scores were tallied, Tiffany was in the lead with a perfect 15 stars.
Home audience scoring agreed with that of the judges, and with 27 stars, Tiffany Evans, already winner of Tournament 1's $100,00 Grand Prize, was declared Junior Singer Champion in the STAR SEARCH BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS and takes home an extra $100,000.
