Season two of Duets winners take home $10,000

Season two of Duets closed with a bang Tuesday night at the Bliss Centre. It was a fun packed show with energetic performances from the judges, the top three duos and the host. The crowning moment came with the announcement of the number one Duet who received the highest number of text votes as presented by the Panel Kerr Foster auditing firm. News’ Five Duane Moody captured the before and after scenes from the Bliss.

The finale featured performances by host William Neal and all three judges. The night started off with an old-school mix from veteran dancers: William and Melissa Forman, who dusted off their dancing shoes and got down and dirty on the Bliss stage, a ballad from Santi, a reality check by Ann-Marie and a hip performance from Jenny.

This was followed by performances from the three finalists: the Garnetts duos, Wayne and Tyrone and Delonie and Gilbert. Backstage, the finalists were anxiously awaiting the results. With a possibility of winning the big prize, all six participants had plans
