\u201cI\u2019m just taking it step-by-step,\u201d Darci Lynne Farmer tells PEOPLE of losing to Cristina Ramos on Monday\u2019s episode<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two of the youngest and most recognized faces of\u00a0America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u00a0were eliminated from Monday\u2019s episode of\u00a0The Champions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Neither\u00a0Darci Lynne Farmer\u00a0nor\u00a0Courtney Hadwin\u00a0won\u00a0Heidi Klum\u2018s Golden Buzzer, so they will not be moving forward to the finals. The two teenagers made it to the top 3 of the audition stage but were ultimately bested by\u00a0Spain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u00a0champion Cristina Ramos, who edged out Farmer and Hadwin, both 14, with votes from the Midwest region.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s insane how good she is,\u201d Farmer tells PEOPLE of Ramos, who blew audiences away with her unique rendition of Queen\u2019s \u201cBohemian Rhapsody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farmer performed with her puppet Oscar the Mouse and amazed judges Klum,\u00a0Simon Cowell, Mel B and Howie Mandel with their duets of Tina Turner\u2019s hits \u201cNutbush City Limits\u201d and \u201cProud Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

On losing the chance to be named the world\u2019s best, Farmer says, \u201cI\u2019m just taking it step-by-step,\u201d adding that she\u2019s returned to being a student at her local public school.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going along for the ride,\u201d the season 12\u00a0AGT<\/em>\u00a0winner shares of her burgeoning fame. \u201cI hope there\u2019s more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hadwin, who auditioned with an original song, is focusing on releasing her own songs post-Champions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m working on new music, which is really cool! It\u2019s going to be my own style. I want my own personal songs to not be based on someone else\u2019s voice, I want it to be my voice and my kind of style,\u201d says the U.K. native, who signed with Cowell\u2019s record label after becoming a finalist on\u00a0AGT<\/em>\u00a0season 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was only a couple of months ago that I couldn\u2019t have dreamt of being where I am now. It\u2019s just amazing how much I\u2019ve done. I feel very lucky!\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Both girls say they\u2019ve won something even more special than the\u00a0Champions<\/em>\u00a0title: a lasting friendship.<\/p>\n

\u201cCourtney and I actually became really good friends,\u201d Farmer says. \u201cWe hung out a lot. She\u2019s really, really sweet. She\u2019s an amazing singer, she\u2019s incredible. It was nice to get to know her and it was fun hanging out with her and we always played the card game, Uno. She\u2019s really fun and to hang out with her was really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadwin adds, \u201cI\u2019m constantly talking to Darci Lynne.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
