"Predictions" for Finals Performances
1. Zurcaroh, whose name will be pronounced as "Zucharoo" by Tyra, will open the show by dancing to "Once Upon a Dream" by Lana Del Ray. Mel will buzz them because she thinks that the costumes don't match the song (they will all wear the camo-stripper costumes they had from their audition). They will only receive one standing ovation (from Heidi) because they will have a MAJOR mistake in which someone falls in the middle of the stage and stays on the ground for the rest of the show. 2. Michael Ketterer will perform next, and though he was supposed to sing a Garth Brooks song, he instead will sing Issues by Julia Michaels (the same arrangement as Makayla did, including the high notes). Simon and Heidi will be the only judges to give standing ovations, but all judges excluding Simon will give negative comments. Heidi will only give him a standing ovation because of his sob story, and Howie will specifically criticize him for his sob story. 3. Vicki Barbolak will perform a shorter version of her quarterfinals performance (but with extra TRAYLER NASTEHS), and she will get four standing ovations. Heidi will say that she expects Vicki to win and that she is her favorite act out of every act she has judged. 4. Glennis Grace will sing Rise Up by Andra Day, and she will get standing ovations from all judges except Mel because Mel won't like her sparkly jumpsuit. Glennis will mouth the abbreviation "WTF" after Mel criticizes her, and Tyra will make a HUGE deal about it. 5. Samuel J. Comroe's performance will consist of making fun of Glennis Grace not knowing that she was going through to the Semifinals, and he will only receive an SO from Howie. 6. Duo Transcend's Finals performance will consist ONLY of rollerskating (no trapeze in their act), and the difficulty level will be equivalent to that of Billy and Emily England's audition, just a little bit less difficult. They will receive no standing ovations, but Simon will not say anything negative about them. Also, Simon will say "boo" repeatedly after Mel says "it wasn't thrilling enough," and after Mel comments more, Simon will buzz her. 7. Daniel Emmet will sing a medley of every song that Laura Bretan sang while on AGT, and he will get standing ovations from every judge except Heidi, Howie, Simon, and Mel. All the judges will say something along the lines of "you don't seem original anymore" and "it didn't give me chills." 8. Shin Lim will perform a basic card act in which he makes every card disappear and then reappear with a different color. Then he will pull a card out of Tyra's ear that she forgot she signed back in 2007. Half of Shin's act will be a video showing Tyra signing that card in 2007, and Mel will buzz him. All four judges will give him a standing ovation, even Mel despite buzzing him. However, Mel will ONLY give negative comments, and in an interview the following day she will state that she gave him a standing ovation "out of instinct" and that she did not mentally intend to. 9. Brian King Joseph will play a stripped down version of "Shiny" from Moana. He will wear a white outfit after Labor Day. Mel will LOVE his performance because she loves Moana, and Simon will give him a standing ovation despite HATING his song choice. Howie and Heidi will not give standing ovations because they will wish that it were more overproduced technologically. 10. Courtney Hadwin will sing Proud Mary to which all four judges will give standing ovations. Mel will comment saying "OHHHH COURTNEY YOU GAVE ME PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS! I HAVE CHILLS RUNNING DOWN MY SPINE! WHAT JUST HAPPENNNNNED!" and the other judges will be comment quite dully (Howie will just tell America to vote so that she can win). At the end of the show, Tyra will tell everyone to vote for Courtney on their phones by giving them the wrong number which is actually the phone number of some random pedophile from Indonesia.
