This performance by Voices of Steel is somehow much more Vegas-like than their final act. Maybe Billy Ray has something to do with it. #AGTFinale #AGT

Voices of Service has been a fan-favorite act in Season 14 thanks to their message about recovering from the traumas of war through the arts. The military service members featured readings of letters from other soldiers who are struggling with depression and pain before their final performance Tuesday. Many of the letters also wrote about how seeing the group on AGT helped them understand and come to terms with what they are going through.
The group then dazzled audiences with a performance of Leona Lewis' "Footprints in the Sand."
The series finale featured performances from Cher, Cyrus, Macklemore, Leona Lewis, Latin singer Ozuna, internationally-known DJ Kygo, pianist Lang Lang and Fozzy rocker/wrestler Chris Jericho. The episode marked the end of an eventful season of AGT featuring the Top 10 comprised of Benicio Bryant, Detroit Youth Choir, Emanne Beasha, Kodi Lee, Light Balance Kids, Ndlovu Youth Choir, Ryan Niemiller, Tyler Butler-Figueroa, V. Unbeatable and Voices of Service.
The winner of Season 14 wins $1 million, as well as a headlining gig in the upcoming America's Got Talent Live show, which will be held Nov. 7-10 at the Paris Theater located at Paris Las Vegas hotel.
