The reaction in the room exploded when Jamal Roberts was announced the winner of American Idol 2025. More than a win, it felt like a tribute to talent, effort and heart. Jamal had captivated America from the start, and now in the finale he stood tall, proud and emotional, knowing that everything that had happened to him on the way had been a step to lead him to this moment.
While possessing a hearty, soulful voice, Jamal wasn’t only singing instead he was in communion. He just seemed to get better and better as the season went on.

And as the last spotlight fell on him, Jamal decided to end his Idol with his original single, “Heal.” It wasn’t just any performance; it was the performance that won him the contest. The song resonated with everything he had experienced during the season. In that instance, it was as if he wasn’t just singing for the stage, he was singing for anyone who’s ever needed a little healing.
