UW students have crowned a new All-Campus Idol.
Of the top ten finalists, Cari Rongstad of Eau Claire received the most text-message votes from the audience.
“I was really excited.” Cari said after the win. “I’m really surprised. This is my first time playing a big crowd, I’ve played coffee shops. But, I’m happy. I’m excited. It’s cool that people got to hear me sing and they liked it!”
Celebrity judge Michael Johns, who was in the top ten American Idol – Season 8, called Cari’s voice ‘pure’.
