Mame Duke, Sirca Marea, Steve Ray Ladson, Micah Palace, and Team Recycled. They were all eliminated in the final round.
All of my votes went to free-style rapper Chris Turner whom I thought was excellent.
Below is the top 5 with the most votes from America.
5th: LightWire
4th: Leo High School Choir
3rd: Jourdan Blue
2nd: Chris Turner
1st: Jessica Sanchez
America has voted and the winner is Jessica Sanchez who is a singer. She appeared on the very first season of AGT as a child singer. She was eliminated in the Sem-Final round. Two decades later. Jessica is a grown woman who is also pregnant. In my opinion - she received the sympathy "vote" because she's about to have a child. Also, she has that "nostalgic" feel who is a very good singer.
Below is the Final results of the AGT winner.
Below is Jessica Sanchez final performance.
