Drake Milligan
The country singer heartthrob of the season, Drake instantly became a hit with fans after his audition, which went straight to number one on iTunes. The Texas native followed it up with another fun live show, and amid predictions of superstardom from the judges, he is one of the more classic acts in the finale.
Yu Hojin
The Korean magician was a quiet favorite in the auditions, not making too much of a splash with the judges. But by upping the ante in the live show, he solidified his spot in the finale and the hearts of many of the viewers for his story-telling style reminiscent of previous season winner Dustin Tavella.

Sara James
Simon Cowell's golden buzzer act, the 14-year-old singer came over from Poland to shoot her shot at the title, and boy did she!

Metaphysic

Mike E. Winfield
The Maryland comedian is the dark horse of the season by virtue of the fact that comedians tend to underperform in the show. But his quick wit and likable personality quickly got the judges and voters on his side, and his ability to have his audience let their guard down made him a finalist.
Kristy Sellars
The Australian made Simon worried when she first mentioned that her act was a pole-dancing routine, but through a combination of incredible stage work, jaw-dropping animations, and sheer athleticism, Kristy delivered two of the season's most memorable performances, earning her spot in the endgame.

A fan favorite from the get-go, Celia could just have the come-from-behind storyline to get the win.
