JUST IN: Marcelito Pomoy is 'America's Got Talent: The Champions' third runner-up

Filipino singer and powerhouse Marcelito Pomoy ended his America's Got Talent: The Champions journey as third runner-up.

The announcement was made during its finale episode, aired February 18 (February 17, US Time).

Marcelito kept it short when accepting his award, he said (as translated by his wife), “He just wanted to say thank you so much for everybody. This is such a big opportunity for him. Thank you so much.”

Before leaving the stage, judge Heidi Klum gave a piece of advice for the singer.

She said, “Marcelito, I love you so much. You have the most beautiful voices inside of you. You are a champion and thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.”

For his finale performance last week, Marcelito channeled his inner Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson in his rendition of the song “Beauty and the Beast.”

The winner for this season's America's Got Talent is dance crew V. Unbeatable.

Congratulations, Marcelito. You made us all proud!
