PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The wait is finally over, as the winner of 'America's Got Talent' Season 18 will finally be announced on Tuesday, September 27, 2023, at 8 pm ET.

The upcoming episode 23 will not only feature the judges- Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara's quest to find the next big superstar but also a couple of celebrities gracing the stage.

Alongside the final 11 contestants, the finale episode will also feature guest performers like Jason Derulo, Leona Lewis, Cat Cora, and The Mayyas, taking over the stage during the two-hour-long special episode. 

This is the final week of Season 18 live episodes, which aired on Tuesday (the performance show) and Wednesday (the results show). This is the point at which the journey to the $1 million prize concludes.

This year, there are seven Golden Buzzers in play: one for each judge/host, one for the group, and one for the studio audience.

If an act received the coveted confetti shower, they were able to skip the Judge Cuts phase and proceed directly to the live concerts.

The group is from Osaka, Japan, and is well-known for its distinctive dancing techniques and facial expressions.

82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus

This season's army group got off to a remarkable start with an audition that touched both the judges' and the fans' hearts.

Their energetic rendition of The Temptations' hit 'My Girl' was dedicated to the memory of Spc Elijah Crawford.

Adrian Stoica and Hurricane

The trainer and his loyal border collie, Hurricane, became an instant hit with the audience.

The dynamic team, who have performed together all over the world, put on a show of several astounding maneuvers set to Meghan Trainor's 'Better When I'm Dancing' for their audition.

Earlier in the season, the Mzansi Youth Choir created 'AGT' history by receiving the first-ever Audience Golden Buzzer.

As a memorial to the late singer, who died of cancer in 2022, they sang a rendition of season 16 participant Nightbirde's song 'It's Okay' at their audition.

Chibi Unity

The Japanese dance group finished season 18's tryouts on a high note, receiving the Group Golden Buzzer from all four judges and Crews.

Anna DeGuzman

At her audition, the 25-year-old Filipina magician wowed the judges with her mesmerizing card skills. She went on to become the first female magician to advance to the 'AGT's live show rounds.

Ramadhani Brothers

With their jaw-dropping acrobatic tryout, the Tanzanian brothers astounded the judges. Fadhili and Ibrahim specialize in head-balancing, with Fadhili balancing on top of his brother's head (and nothing else).

Lavender Darcangelo

When she sang Irene Cara's 'Out Here On My Own' from the 1980 musical film Fame for her audition, the 27-year-old vocalist soon became a fan favorite.

Her impassioned performance received a standing ovation from the judges, prompting Heidi to hit her Golden Buzzer.

Putri Ariani

The 17-year-old singer-songwriter made an impression during her audition when she sat down at the piano and sang an original song. She not only wowed the judges with her singing, but she also received Simon's Golden Buzzer.

Ahren Belisle

During his audition, the 28-year-old software engineer turned comic, who has cerebral palsy and is nonverbal, swiftly won over the judges with his sense of humor. The jokes are delivered by phone by the Ontario native.

Murmuration

The 64-person French dance ensemble first impressed spectators with their breathtaking audition, in which they performed synchronized hand-based choreography while blindfolded.

Judge Howie pressed his Golden Buzzer, finding the performance "hypnotic."
