Tusse Chiza, 17, from Tällberg outside Leksand takes home the fifteenth season of "Idol". It was clear after a hard fight against Freddie Liljegren, 26. Through the competition, Chiza has been one of the jury's favorites, even though the otherwise outspoken jurors hardly dared to guess the outcome of the program.

The winner himself burst into tears after he performed the winning song "Rain" and received the audience's cheers.

"I feel so good, it's just tears of joy," he says.

Sounds hes

The "Idol" winner had it tough during the evening when he was pulled with a toss of a cold. His voice sounded a little hesitant and he didn't quite manage all the high notes in Shawn Mende's "There's nothing holding me back".

The better was the second number, with Conchita Wurst's "Rise like a phoenix", which was also noticeable on the audience's cheers in the Globe.

- This song is as cut and written just for you. You can gallop freely across the meadows and are back in the match. Now it's even and it's getting tough, Anders Bagge said.

Custom written song

Freddie Liljegren started the evening with U2's "Where the streets have no name", followed by Bruno Mars "Uptown Funk".

After a choice of their own and a song chosen by the viewers, both finalists finished with "Rain", specially written for the program.

Tonight's big middle act was Irish Westlife, who recently released the album "Spectrum" and performed the song "My blood".
