SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A new Teen Star has been crowned! The exciting finale took place on Sunday night.
Ten talented finalists walked the red carpet at the Marjorie Luke Theatre in Santa Barbara. The audience buzzed with energy, filling the seats with over 800 attendees. Teens from six schools in Santa Barbara County took to the stage, each hoping to win the title. A panel of three judges provided feedback throughout the event.
This year was especially competitive. Typically, three finalists are announced, but due to the exceptional talent, the judges selected four to advance.
In the end, only one could take home the crown. Congratulations to Naomi Jane Voigt, a 10th grader from San Marcos High School, for winning the title of Teen Star!
Naomi expressed her excitement: “It’s kind of surreal. I really wanted this, and I’m just happy that all the work I put into this paid off.”
The four finalists have an exciting opportunity ahead. They will audition virtually for the executive producers of American Idol.
