The countdown is on for America’s Got Talent to crown a new winner for season 21.
After weeks of competition, 10 acts will perform for America’s vote during the two-night finale, kicking off Tuesday, September 22, on NBC.
“There are so many good people,” judge Sofía Vergara exclusively told Us earlier this month. “There’s so much good talent this season that I think I’m going to be very happy with whoever America votes to win.”
Host Terry Crews believes it’s been a “magical year” on AGT and wouldn’t be surprised if a magician earns the $1 million prize.
“The power of magic has come through, and remember when you go to Las Vegas, you see nothing but magic AGT,” Terry, 58, exclusively told Us. “From Hundred Fingers to Geno Ploeger, it’s endless all this magic that’s always coming.”
Before the finalists perform one last time for America’s vote, Us is giving viewers a refresher of who could win big.

Although they will only have one week to prepare for their final act of the competition, the group teased, “It’s going to be an all-out party, and the dogs are going to be joining this party. We think America and the whole world is going to love it.”
Come Here
After Sofía called Come Here’s semi-finals performance “mesmerizing,” the dance group is ready to deliver another unforgettable number.

At just 22 years old, the Wisconsin native has won over the hearts of America and the judges, with Mel B once calling his magic the best act of the night.
“I pour my heart and soul into everything I put on that stage. I really hope America sees that too,” Geno told Us. “AGT has been a dream for me for over a decade, so I hope they support me too.”
When asked to tease his finale performance, Geno shared, “Every single act that I’ve done on AGT has covered a chapter of my life, so this next thing I want to do is going to cover the next chapter.”
Olivia Befus
The Michigan native and her four-legged furry friends believe they could be worthy of a $1 million act.

Royal Lasers
“We are a dance and laser act, but we bring so much more to the stage,” Royal Lasers told Us. “We have incredible choreography. Our suits are coordinated with the choreography. We have lasers coordinated as well as graphics we interact with on the screen. We have so many different levels that we bring to the stage each time and each time, we’re trying to bring something more. Each time, even our fans are seeing a different part of our act.”
