America’s Got Talent has officially dwindled down to the final 11 contestants of season 17. After several weeks of amazing performances, America gets to crown their winner on Wednesday, September 14.
This season of America’s Got Talent began with loads of talented contestants. With a shocking amount of contestants in the live shows and a whole new format for the quarter finals, it has been quite the season. Here’s the 11 acts continuing into the AGT season 17 finale.
1. Avery Dixon
This 21 year old musician made waves in the competition and even earned Terry Crew’s Golden Buzzer early on in the competition. Throughout years of bullying, Avery found solace in his music. In current day, he’s ready to win the show and ultimately prove that he’s a seasoned performer.
2. Chapel Hart
Possibly one of the most popular groups of all is Chapel Hart. This country trio earned the coveted Group Golden Buzzer after wowing the judges with their debut “You Can Have Him Jolene” audition. Their song has gone viral, earned praise from Dolly Parton, and even landed them a performance at the Grand Ole Opry, could they be the winner of the season?
3. Drake Milligan
Aside from Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan has made headlines of his own. The 24 year old, noted as “the new Elvis of country,” has gained similar exposure to Chapel Hart this season. The heartthrob was practically set to win, since his single hit No. 1 on iTunes after his audition.
4. Metaphysic
This group has brought one of the most unique talents ever in the show’s history. Metaphysic Synthetic Media wowed the judges by creating an artificial intelligence version of Simon Cowell singing “You’re The Inspiration” by Chicago. They went on to impress once more when they made Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Terry Crews perform in the Qualifiers Round.
5. Mike E. Winfield
Mike was the first comedian to secure a place in the finale this season. After impressing in his audition, his Qualifier Round performance was just as impressive. His comedy is so smooth that Mandel offered to share a stage with him, if Mike wasn’t picked for the finale. Since Mandel has such high hopes for Mike, could he win the season?
6. Nicolas Ribs
Fans were absolutely shocked when Nicolas secured a place in the finale instead of ventriloquist Celia Muñoz. This french magician performs unbelievable close-up magic that combines sleight of hand and projectors. His skills are definitely unique, so fans are interested to see his final performance.
7. Sara James
13 year old Sara earned Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer after her show stopping Billie Eilish cover. Since earning the coveted buzzer, she’s impressed once more with a beautiful rendition of “Rocketman” by Elton John. This singer has impressed the audience and judges each step of the way, so could she win the season?
8. Yu Hojin
South Korean magician Yu Hojin was the first magician to secure his place in the America’s Got Talent season 17 finale. The 29 year old has shown on multiple occasions that he’s able to make things appear out of thin air. Yu secured himself as a frontrunner early on the competition, could a magician win the show two years in a row?
9. The Mayyas Dance Crew
The Mayyas Dance Crew stunned right away on America’s Got Talent. Following their outstanding audition, they were awarded Sofia Vergara’s Golden Buzzer. The Mayyas have mesmerized us on several occasions, but is it enough to win the series?
10. Kristy Sellars
Kristy is a pole dancer hailing from Australia, her act molds together pole dancing and technology. Her outstanding technological routine was enough to win Australia’s Got Talent in 2019. Could it be enough for her to succeed on the American series?
11. Celia Muñoz
Celia is one of the most unique ventriloquists to grace the America’s Got Talent stage. The opera singer made waves in the competition when she performed without any type of puppet on stage. Her voice was so impressive that America voted her back into the competition.
I think this seasons AGT has been the best ever here has been some really talented contestants this year it seems to get better every year. I hope the contestants keep get better because it makes them work harder to give the best act they can nothing like good stiff competion
#7 Sara James and #11 Celia Munoz impressed me the most.
WOW! I reviewed each one of these acts, and I can tell you that it is an incredible line up. As each night produced awarding winning acts, I keep reviewing my initial vote. However I still put it down as these three: Drake Milligan, Avery Dixon and the Mayas. Although I sincerely enjoyed all the acts going to the finals. (The magicians are remarkable)
I keep asking myself if I see them in Vegas, and will they be an act that has staying power over the years.
