America, you’ve done it again. Wednesday’s live finale of “America’s Got Talent” brought Season 21 to a dramatic conclusion, ending with the reveal of a new “AGT” champion.
Following Tuesday’s last live performance show, the season’s remaining 10 acts — dancing dog group Acro Canine Crew, dance group Come Here, magician Geno Ploeger, magic group Hundred Fingers, singer Lai Noelle, rocker Nene Royal, dog act Olivia Befus, light-up performers Royal Lasers, robot dance group Unitree, and aerialist Veronika Goroshkova — returned on Wednesday to learn their fate.
Heading into Wednesday’s finale, an overwhelming 57% of TVLine readers predicted that Nene Royal would be crowned at the end of the night, with Hundred Fingers (10%), Lai Noelle (8%), Geno Ploeger (8%), and Acro Canine Crew (5%) rounding out their expected Top 5. For what it’s worth, our reader polls tend to be pretty accurate, having correctly predicted past “AGT” winners like Jessica Sanchez and Richard Goodall.
So, did the TVLine readers call it again? Let’s get to the results. After drawing out the night as much as humanly possible, host Terry Crews finally made the first big announcement, revealing which acts America voted into the Top 5: Royal Lasers, Hundred Fingers, Veronika Goroshkova, Nene Royal, and Geno Ploeger.
Sadly, that meant it was the end of the road for five more fan favorites: Come Here, Olivia Befus, Lai Noelle, Unitree, and Acro Canine Crew.
And what of the Top 5? Read on to find out how Wednesday’s results shook out, then drop a comment with your thoughts on the winner of Season 21.
