'I don’t even know where to begin, other than to say the three women behind me here are absolutely awesome. It was a pleasure to be here with them,' he said.
'I want to thank everybody at home who believed in me and voted for me.'

The Fleetwood Mac singer joined the reality TV star on stage to sing a slowed-down version of her hit record Landslide.
The performance brought the audience - and the judges - to their feet and a choked up Adam Levine, Colon's mentor, struggled to keep his composure.
'I told Stevie Nicks I wasn’t going to cry on national television, so I’m not going to cry - I’m just going to get through that,' he said.

'I’m pretty speechless. That’s one of the most beautiful duets I’ve ever heard in my life.'
It was also an emotional night for country singer Blake Shelton, who saw his contestant, Dia Frampton, team up for a duet with his wife Miranda Lambert.
Miranda, who married Blake last month, showed off her wedding ring as she sang ‘The House That Built Me’ with Dia.

'I know now why I get so emotional when I’m around you Dia,' Blake said.
'Watching you stand there and sing that song with my wife, it makes sense to me. You are family to me now.'
Cee Lo Green told his finalist, Vicci Martinez, they would 'forever be bonded' after watching her perform ‘Drops of Jupiter’ with Train frontman Pat Monahan.
