Just for fun, I'm making a prediction as to the order in which the finalists will perform. There's two ways the producers could go: They could have all the Variety Acts go first, followed by all of the singers; or they could alternate between a Variety Act and a Singer, or two variety followed by two singers. I'm predicting that they will alternate between one variety act and one singer:

My prediction for the order in which the Finalists will PERFORM (not finish):

1st: Tape Face--He previously performed 9th of 20 in the Judge Cuts, 9th of 12 in the Quarterfinals, and 7th of 11 in the semis. He's due to be either one of the first 3 acts to perform or last 2. He's not a pimp spot act, so, unless they put him in the middle of the pack, I see him performing 1st.

2nd: Linkin' Bridge--They performed 20th, 4th, and 5th in previous rounds. They aren't a show ending act, so they'll either perform in this slot or 6th/7th.

3rd: Sofie Dossi--She's performed 7th of 20, 7th of 12, and 9th of 11. She due to be one of the first five to perform.

4th: Laura Bretan--She's performed last in her previous live shows, so it's only fair that she perform earlier in the evening for a change.

5th: The Clairvoyants--They've performed 20th, 8th, and 10th. It's their turn to perform earlier.

6th: Sal Valentinetti is a good choice to lead off the second half of the show. He previously performed 9th and 1st. This puts him somewhere between the two.

7th: Viktor Kee-- He's been 11th of 20, 3 of 12, and 4 of 11. He deserves to perform in the second half of the show for a change.

8th: Brian Justin Crum--He's already performed last in the Judge Cuts and Semis. In the Quarterfinal, he was 9th of 12. He's just too good to put in the first half of the show, but it wouldn't be fair to let him go last a third time.

9th: Jon Dorenbos--Previously performed 12th of 20, 7th of 12, and 8th of 11; but he has earned the right to get out of the middle of the pack and into the Variety Acts' Pimp Spot.

10th: Grace Vanderwaal--She has performed 12th of 12 and 9th of 11. Despite that, there's no way in heck she's going to be in the first half of the show, and it's a pretty easy call that the producers will save the best for last.
