More talented contestants are expected to advance to 'America's Got Talent' Season 18 finals during the Qualifier 4 round. But for now, here are some of the finalists with the most buzz around them.
Lavender Darcangelo
Lavender Darcangelo graced the stage during the July 11 episode of 'AGT'. The aspiring singer earned Heidi Klum's Golden Buzzer.
Lavender is blind and autistic. However, her soulful performance of Irena Cara's 'Out Here On My Own' was a hit with the judges.
Adrian Stoica & Hurricane
Adrian and his companion dog Hurricane delivered a comedic routine where Adrian attempted to complete yard duty tasks but kept getting thwarted by Hurricane's antics. The duo earned enough votes to advance to the finals.
Adrian, 45, is a dog trainer and performer from Italy who has devoted his life to the art of canine instruction. He has a remarkable track record of six Disc Dog World Championship titles, and his passion for dogs and frisbee tricks knows no bounds.
Murmuration
Murmuration received a Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel during their audition. The popular dance group from France is known for its elaborate, synchronized routines, which are often performed blindfolded.
The Golden Buzzer act received a standing ovation for their stunning performance. Murmuration's performance was inspired by the synchronized movement of birds and they largely used quick arm and hand movements known as Tutting to create various illusions and shapes.
Ahren Belisle
Ahren Belisle is a software engineer, a mental health advocate, and now, in the latest twist in his career path, a comedian! He hails from northern Ontario, Canada, and was born with cerebral palsy.
Ahren is a nonverbal comedian who uses his phone to deliver his jokes. He began pursuing comedy more than a year ago and has already had major success, with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
Mzansi Youth Choir
Mzansi Youth Choir created history after they earned the first-ever audience Golden Buzzer on 'AGT' during their audition. However, the South African chorale group stunned the judges and audience again with their live performance.
The choir dazzled with their cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere' for the qualifiers 3. After making it to the finals, Howie Mandel praised the group, "You moved America, [and] you're moving the world."
Putri Ariani
Putri Ariani became an instant frontrunner after the blind singer's first 'AGT' performance went viral. During qualifiers 3, Putri performed a stunning rendition of U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'.
Putri has already released her debut album, 'Melihat Dengan Hati', in 2020. However, Putri won season 2 of 'Indonesia’' Got Talent' in 2014 and is now a step closer to winning 'AGT' Season 18.
