There are 10 finalists heading to Tuesday (September 17) night’s final round of contestant performances of the Season 19 finale for America’s Got Talent, but which of the acts will walk away victorious when the winner is announced next week (on September 24)?
Right now, it’s anyone’s guess who America will decide to give their votes — and the $1 million prize — to after Tuesday’s showcases. However, since this is a popularity contest of sorts, we can look to the contestants’ social games to gauge if there are any already-fan-favorites based on followers.
Here’s a look at where the contestants stand in the social game arena heading into their final performances ahead of the finale (in alphabetical order).

Obviously, this particular metric is not a matter of science, and social media followers don’t necessarily equate to votes in the finale. But if these tallies are any indication at all, it’s Sky Elements that stands the best chance of claiming victory next week with a combined total of 591.7k followers across social media.
America’s Got Talent‘s Season 19 finale will feature an all-star guest lineup, including Simone Biles & the Gold Over America Tour, Michael Bublé, Neal Schon and members of Journey, Steve Aoki, Gabriel Iglesias, the Las Vegas cast of Magic Mike Live, Andra Day, and the Detroit Youth Choir.
