After last night’s all-around stunning performances from the Top 10 finalists, it will definitely be a close call in the eclectic mix of musicians, comedians and acrobatic performers.
Perhaps judge Simon Cowell said it best Tuesday: “Of all the finals, this is the most open. … I think some of you tonight are going to have life-changing moments.”
But whose life will be changed the most Wednesday? Keep scrolling to meet all the talented performers competing for the ultimate prize this season.
And don’t miss the season 13 finale, airing Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
Courtney Hadwin
At only 14 years old, singer Courtney Hadwinย has had buzz surrounding her name all season, even winning judge Howieย Mandel’s Golden Buzzer in the auditioning process after an incredible performance of “Hard to Handle” by Otis Redding.
The British national has the heart of a rock star, it’s clear, drawing comparisons to Janis Joplin all season. Butย were her spirited performances enough to win over America?
ย
Michael Ketterer
The pediatric mental health nurse with the voice of an angel, Michael Ketterer has been one to watch all season as even Cowellย was forced to admit his talent is one for the ages.
Cowellย even asked country legend Garth Brooks to collaborate with Kettererย after he destroyed the stage with a cover of Mileyย Cyrus’ “When I Look at You,” a request Brooks teased he would be willing to accommodateย ahead of the finale! The 40-year-old has won over Cowellย and Brooks clearly, but has he won over the voters?
Brian King Joseph
Brian King Joseph has been bringing the heat to the America’s Got Talent stage with his violin and spirited performances all season, performing covers of Fall Out Boy’s “Centuries” and Kanyeย West’s “Heartless” that have left music lovers of all kinds looking at the violin a whole new way.ย
Will the virtuoso’s covers be enough to draw in America’s vote?
ย
Shin Lim
Shin Lim has been blowing viewers’ minds, and those of the judges, all season! The 26-year-old magician has wowed audiences with his close-up magic skills, even earning a gasp from the judging table during the live finale performance with a trick he admitted he had barely been able to practice.
Win or lose,ย Limย plans to perform as part of The Illusionists magic group following the finale, but it would surely be a big bump for him if he walked away with the $1 million!
Samuel J. Comroe
The Losย Angelesย comedian hasn’t shied away from embracing his Tourettesย Syndrome during this season of AGT, earning some serious belly laughs while taking on stereotypes, relationships and life in his family in his sets.
Comroeย almost saw the end of his AGTย journey in the semifinals, but America make sure to vote him back into the finale with a Dunkin’ Save.
ย
Vicki Barbolak
Vicki Barbolakย has been making viewers laugh all season with her Trailer Nasty character, getting real in lightly raunchy sets all season while talking about dating, traveling and staying true to one’s self.ย
She even earned a standing ovation from the crowd and judges during the live finale performance when she stripped off her robe to reveal a floral swimsuit! But will Barbolakย make “herstory” as she has hoped by being the first comedian to win AGT?
ย
Duo Transcend
One of the most shocking moments of season 13 belongs to Duo Transcend, a married trapeze artistย couple from Salt Lake City, Utah, when the husband dropped his wife in the judge’s cut round.ย
After making their way back to the finals, the two didn’t play it safe, however, and the couple’s fearless routines have earned them shocked reactions and a ton of applause from viewers and judges alike.ย
Zurcaroh
Austrian acrobatic group Zurcarohย could also walk home with a historic win if their gravity-defying acts managed to net them enough votes in the finale!
With stunning costumes,ย a wide variety of performers and the support of Tyraย Banks, the dance group could be the first to walk away with the $1 million. But will it be enough?
ย
Glennis Grace
Glennisย Grace may never have earned a Golden Buzzer during her time on this season, but the 40-year-old singer from the Netherlands is definitely a fan favorite.
Grace has taken on some seriously dramatic pieces throughout the season, putting her own take on Whitney Houston and The Greatest Showman. But will her fan base be enough to carry her through to the end?
Daniel Emmet
An opera singer with a voice much more mature than his 20 years alive might suggest, Emmetย has taken on some serious risks during his time on AGT this season, from turning Aerosmith’sย “I Don’t Wannaย Miss a Thing” into a hymn.
These risks don’t always pay off, but his talent is so that even his misses are something to watch. Will his unusual choices be enough to win him the $1 million?
Part two of theย America’s Got Talentย finale airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
