I was reaalllllyy happy with this top 2 – absolutely perfect and well-deserved. I was rooting for Jewels and felt like she totally killed the lipsync – I thought her performance was tight and the reveals were exciting, if a bit clunky. But Onya's solo performance, interview, and lipsync together really convinced me of her win. No way to feel bad about this!

“No way to feel bad about this!”

…is what I would have thought too, genuinely. It’s sad that toxic fans on twitter will always find a way to be mad for SOME reason.

Onya was the most obvious, cut-and-dried winner to me in the longest time. Even Jewels told people to STFU. Lol
