Makhoul’s performed Canadian-Jewish musician Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” as her final song.
During her acceptance speech, Makhoul described overcoming racism during the competition, but also said that she had many positive reactions from the general public as well. “But the majority rules, right?” she told the audience, alluding to the fact that she won her final competition solely by public vote.
