America’s Got Talent is down to 10 amazing finalists. But only one will be named the new AGT champion. The winner will walk away with $1 million and a stage show in Las Vegas from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10. Every single act is worthy of winning. The season 14 finale kicks off with a powerful performance featuring the Ndlovu Youth Choir, the Detroit Youth Choir, and Kygo. The Ndlovu Youth Choir and Detroit Youth Choir are both in the running to win America’s Got Talent season 14. Just when the performance seems to be over, Macklemore shows up in the audience and starts performing “Can’t Hold Us.”

Finalist Tyler Butler-Figueroa hits the stage with season 13 finalist Brian King Joseph. The two violinists perform an amazing rendition of Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings.” Tyler totally holds his own with Brian. It’s incredible watching them collaborate. The Light Balance Kids make their way to the stage for another fun performance featuring Paula Abdul, who was a judge alongside Simon on American Idol. Season 14 finalist Emanne Beasha later takes the stage with world-renowned pianist Lang Lang for a gorgeous performance.

All of the finalists are performing alongside their heroes. Ryan Niemiller’s hero isn’t actually a comedian. He always wanted to be a wrestler so WWE legend Chris Jericho takes Ryan inside the ring for some fun. Benicio Bryant and Ozuna team up for an electric performance together. Benicio shines during the duet. Get this kid a record deal, ASAP!

Judge Julianne Hough debuts her brand-new single “Transform” during the season 14 finale. She performs alongside V. Unbeatable in a truly unforgettable performance. Voices of Service teams up with Billy Ray Cyrus to perform his song “Some Gave All.”

Music icon Cher graces us with her presence during the finale and sings “Waterloo.” The 73-year-old sizzles in a plunging purple jumpsuit and proves she’s still got it with her amazing performance. Kodi Lee and Leona Lewis follow Cher with a touching performance of Calum Scott’s “You Are The Reason.”

Now it’s time for the results. Voices of Service and Benicio are called first. The first act heading to the top 5 is Voices of Service! Emanne and Ryan are called next. Ryan is headed to the top 5. V. Unbeatable and Ndlovu Youth Choir go head-to-head. V. Unbeatable is the act taking the third spot in the top 5. Kodi and Light Balance Kids face off next. As Kodi walks up, you can hear the crowd chanting his name. Kodi is the act taking the fourth spot in the top 5! The final spot is between Tyler and the Detroit Youth Choir. The act taking the last spot in the top 5 is the Detroit Youth Choir.

The competition is at an all-time high. The act that comes in fifth place is… Voices of Service. Now it’s down to Ryan, Kodi, V. Unbeatable, and the Detroit Youth Choir. V. Unbeatable comes in fourth place, which means Ryan, Kodi, and the Detroit Youth Choir are your top 3. Ryan comes in third place. Your final 2 acts are now Kodi and the Detroit Youth Choir!
