PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Season 18 of 'America's Got Talent' is coming to an end with this week's two-part finale. The Top 11 finalists performed on Tuesday, September 26, and a winner will be selected at the results programme on Wednesday, September 27.
Who will win the popular vote in America?
This season, 55 performers made it to the live events, and that number has now been reduced to 11 finalists. Viewers voted two acts into the Finals each week, and they also picked Avantgardey as this season's wildcard act.
Chibi Unity, Putri Ariani, Lavender Darcangelo, Mzansi Youth Choir, and Murmuration are among the five Golden Buzzer performers among this season's finalists. Ramadhani Brothers, 82nd Airborne Division Chorus, Anna DeGuzman, Ahren Belisle, and Adrian Stoica & Hurricane round out the Top 11.
There are two solo singers, a comedian, three dance groups, two singing groups, a dog act, a magician, and an acrobatic duet in the Season 18 finals. Last season, the Mayyas dance group won the competition. Will a different sort of artist capture the number one slot this time?
Who will be crowned 'AGT' Season 18's winner?
The season finale showcased some extremely outstanding talents this season, and it's wonderful to see some variation among the finalists. However, only one person can be declared the winner. Fans believe that the act will be Adrian Stoica, an Italian dog trainer and entertainer, and Hurricane.
Fans believe Adrian Stoica and Hurricane gave their all in every single performance, and it was entertaining and riveting every time. They deserve to win the most of any finals contender!

On Reddit, a thread dedicated to one of the best dog act in 'AGT' history read, "I looked at the wife before they started and said "there is no way a dog act deserves to be in the finals." When they were done I said "I take that back, that was great!!" I don't know if I'd go so far as winning it, but the act was a lot of fun."
Another person chimed in, "My family’s border collie loves them. She barks and watched them on tv every time they were on."
One user gasped, "I legitimately have no idea how you train a dog to do such a long routine. Hurricane is the bestest girl, and is clearly super smart, but I think Stoica’s dog talent training is what should win it for them."
A fourth user noted, "the way she held the cane 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭."
Others also wrote, "We loved them!" One also noted, "Amazing and touching performance."
Another person added, "They got our votes!" One user commented, "I really wish Adrian knew how to do ventriloquism. He could have guaranteed a win when the judges were speaking to him afterwards by making it look like the dog was talking. The setup was perfect for it the way he was holding her and the mic was right there."
