I think anyone besides Daniel, Duo, or Vicki are potential winners and each have equal shots. Here's my rankings:

10: Vicki Barbolak: I like Vicki. I like Vicki a lot. I liked that she didn't stick to her Trailer Nasty gimmick. She said it once or twice and I love that, and I agree her and her trailer park friends need a reality show. I am also surprised that Vicki is near-broke despite her dad playing in the NFL. The problem is we didn't see anything new. Same types of jokes. Don't get me wrong, I like those jokes, its just when compared to all the other acts, especially Samuel, its just kina draining 4 months later.

9: Duo Transcend: They knew they weren't going to win. All they did was trapeze, which is bumming, but honestly not too big of a deal. The trick was more than impressive and, although I know they wont win, but if they did I wouldn't mind at all.

8: Daniel Emmett: His best performance, and that's saying something. I wasn't as wowed as his other Live performances, but I still loved this, and Daniel is amazing, and from his audition I thought he'd make it this far.

7: Michael Ketterer: This was far from his best. He messed up a few lyrics. The one thing though is it captured this emotion that just struck me. I was deliriously exhausted, so this might explain itself, but I was crying a good bit. He has a great shot to win this thing, and with Garth inviting him to open for him just makes it even more likely.

6: Glennis Grace: OH MAN. That was amazing. Just flawless emotional vocals, made more emotional because her son came all the way from the Netherlands to be there. My one problem is that I feel as her semifinals performance was much better. That's all. I hope you are in Vegas soon, Glennis.

5: Brian King Joseph: FANTASTIC way to open the show! While his semifinals proved he was as much of a contender as my top 3, this ENSURED IT!!!! Love it and I hope he ends up in Vegas too!

4: Samuel J. Comroe: He saved his funniest for last, and believe me, it was funny! I would be ecstatic for him to win, hell, my friend BET MONEY on him winning. And I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he made it close.

3: Zurcaroh: Bit of a let down considering the first half was just a rehashed audition, but better. But then the boy came out with the ball, and I was shook. Even if they don't win, theyre going to Vegas one way or another.

2: Courtney Hadwin: BRITISH INVASION IS BACK BOIIIS. I thought this was her best performance BY FAR! She is stunning, she is amazing. Also, when she isn't screeching, her voice actually sounds GOOD. Like, REALLY GOOD. I would've voted for her if it weren't for the obvious act shocking everyone...

1: Shin Lim: I don't even have to say anything. Just watch it. America, heres your winner.
