For the first time in the show’s history, voting for the winner was opened up to viewers online on Facebook and at the ABC website. Those results were combined with previous viewer votes and judges’ points to decide the winner.
The finale opened with a group number performed by all 13 of the season’s contestants and featured performances by several of the season’s contenders. Nick Lachey, who was eliminated in the fifth episode of the season, debuted a new song, “Someone to Dance With,” inspired by his time on the show. Fisher and Stirling also both performed holiday-themed songs, joined by Becky G and Debbie Gibson, respectively.
