Ramos (College Age Group).

After performing and receiving feedback from the judges, Emersyn Hunt and Kristabel Kenta-Bibi were crowned the winners of this 5th season, receiving an AMDA Emerging Artists Scholarship, a vocal lesson with Matt Farnsworth, a work session with The Telsey Office's Jimmy Larkin, a BroadwayWorld Merch Prize Pack, and a $1000 donated to the charity of their choice.
