The final performance show of this season of AGT is tonight, with the results being announced tomorrow night. The top 4 acts are amazing!!

Team iLuminate

This is a group of dancers who costumes themselves in a wearable wireless lighting system. Their dances are computer choreographed and performed with the studio in complete darkness. The judges and all other in the studio are asked to turn their cell phones off as they could interfere with the act.

Here is their performance from last week:

Silhouettes

This is an amazing large group of dancers. They include many children, with the youngest being just 4 years old. Many of the kids have some sort of illness and you would never know it from the way they dance. Their gimmick is that they dance in silhouette and freeze to form landmarks or spell out words. Their performances have astounded me!!

Here is their performance from last week, warning... it will leave you breathless:

Poplyfe

I love these kids!! When they first auditioned for the show, Piers Morgan thought that Kehlani, the lead singer, had a great voice but didn't see the point of the young boys who backed her up. She stood her ground and said they were like her brothers and she wasn't going anywhere without them. They put her through and Piers eventually admitted that he was wrong, the dynamic worked! And here they are, in the finals. These kids have performed music by the Jackson 5, Adele, and The Beatles on the show.

Here is their performance from semi-finals, the Beatles song, it is truly awesome!:

Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.

Wow!! Before AGT, Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. was washing cars for a living!! Until last week's semi-finals, every song he did was Frank Sinatra and he embodies the voice! In the semi-finals he did Dean Martin and it was his best performance yet.

Here is the semi-final performance:

On this show, you only get 10 votes a week and it's really hard to choose just one. Every single one of these was someone I voted for just about every week... the only other person I would have loved to see in the finale was Anna Graceman, that girl killed a song that was written and performed by Motley Crue and was redone by Carrie Underwood. Oh, and she is only 11 years old!!

I have to include a video of her as well. I wanted to include the longer version so you could see the judge's comments, etc. but it wasn't working for me...

I can't wait to see who takes this whole competition... any of the Top 4 would be amazing!!!

Thanks for embedding the videos, myst!! I'm just never sure what to do to get them to embed.

You watch too, don't you??? Because there's a huge conflict tomorrow night!! The last 30 minutes of the AGT finale overlap with the first 30 minutes of the BB finale. I think I"m gonna set BB to DVR, watch AGT, and then I can skim through the first 30 minutes of BB, skipping commercials, etc... and hopefully catch up by the end of the 90 minute episode!! I don't do the live show thread unless I'm preempted and have to watch online so that's not a problem for me. I'm not missing the AGT finale... I think Jackie Evancho is going to be one of the performers!!! Michael Grimm already performed the week before last.

Yes, he did... my favorite Sinatra song!!

I can't not watch the AGT finale... I'm sure I'll be flipping back and forth, though, even with DVRing!!

team i luminate is my fave, and pick!!

[kmteach]

But wait... Poplyfe and Silhouettes will both be spectacular, too, I just know it!!

I have a soft spot in my heart for Poplyfe... those kids are just amazing. And the way Kehlani stood up to Piers in their audition was awesome!

And Silhouettes... they always grab my heart.

I want all 4 of them to win!!!

I feel soo bad for Poplyfe... it wasn't their best but it was still good!! I hope those kids get something out of this if it's not the win... they have a great future ahead of them.
