All 11 acts from the Tuesday, September 13 finale ranked from worst (Avery Dixon) to best (Mayyas).

The judges loved the performance and Simon did note that some of the vocals were not as crisp at times but in the end, the group succeeded in wowing not only the judges but social media as well. Fans went crazy for the song and a good portion of their fans seemed to just swing all their votes to them but praised Drake in the same sentence. The judges and social media loved the performance and he might be the dark horse of the season. Chapel Hart: The fact that Chapel Hart was in the first half of the show scared me a bit. Simon was not a fan of the performance but his co-workers loved it. The song choice was a lot of fun as well and he walked the tightrope of being energetic yet cheesy all at once. Yes, I know that looking at social media to predict the winner is a risky gambit but it is more often than not correct for this particular show. The judges loved the performance so naturally I thought social media would be all for this act. The judges loved the performance but social media had a mixed reaction like I did. I loved the incorporation of Elvis Presley from the start and the singer sounded great. In the end, I think that Kristy has a shot at winning the big prize at the end of the season but the odds are not great. Howie called the act “perfection” and said that she “set the bar for the competition.” Social media loved the act as well with a few posts noting the irony of the fact that she dedicated a pole dance to her children.

He says that doing AGT has given him "access to more fans" and "opened the door for so many fans that are really receptive," which has been a longtime goal for the standup. And as the group's founder, Nadim Cherfan, tells PEOPLE, they couldn't feel more "proud of ourselves" for all they have accomplished up to this point. "Then they say 5, 4, 3, when they begin to count, when it's going to be your moment, and I said, 'Okay, I'm here on AGT on the finals, the whole world is watching.' It was this kind of adrenaline effect in my life." Ribs adds that "it's an honor" to be part of the competition and he already has his plans lined up, should a win be in his future. "To have the reaction that I've had is just such a big compliment," Sellars gushes. "We're in a van and we've got a trailer full of gear, and we need more of it always, so the million dollars would really help to kind of facilitate more stuff on the road and a bigger production." "We are planning to just go sprinkle that Chapel Hart love and happiness and joy all over the world," notes Danica, adding that they also want to focus on bringing music back to schools. "I've been in Nashville the last five years writing and cutting a record and it's been hard, man," he admits.
