America’s Got Talent has its final ten for season 21, and the mix is everything fans love about this show. Acro Canine Crew, Come Here, Geno Ploeger, Olivia Befus, Royal Lasers and Veronika Goroshkova punched their tickets out of the semifinals, joining Golden Buzzer winners Hundred Fingers, Lai Noelle, Nene Royal and Unitree.
The two-night finale kicks off Tuesday, September 22, when all ten acts perform for America’s vote. The winner is revealed Wednesday, September 23 on NBC, taking home $1 million and a headline spot in a Las Vegas live show. This season also brought format changes, including a new Judges’Callbacks round and ten Golden Buzzers instead of the usual handful, which made the road to the finale way more dramatic.
There’s a bigger story hovering over the finale too. Simon Cowell temporarily stepped away from the judges’table after surgery, with Heidi Klum and Kenan Thompson filling in. Fans and the panel alike are holding out hope he’s back in his chair for the big night. Either way, the showdown is set, and the semifinal cuts of rapper Luke Taleno and vocalist Travis Garland proved nobody is safe.
Who are you rooting for to win it all and headline Vegas?
