TV

Sal Valentinetti puts a little spin on his cover of 'Mack the Knife', Brian Justin Crum delivers an amazing performance of MJ's 'Man in the Mirror', and Viktor Kee makes a mistake in his stint.

AceShowbiz - The ten finalists of "America's Got Talent" performed one last time on Tuesday, September 13 to win America's favor before the winner is announced on Wednesday. Kicking off the final performances was Sal Valentinetti, who performed Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife" with his Frank Sinatra-style crooning.

Heidi Klum said it blew everyone away. Melanie Brown said Sal smashed it, Howie Mandel called him the epitome of show business, and Simon Cowell wanted it to last longer and gushed that Sal might have upset the whole competition with his performance.

Sofie Dossi, a contortionist, mixed spins, bending, backflips and an aerial ring routine. She definitely brought her A-game for the finals, though there's nothing we hadn't seen before. Mel B. praised her for adding the element of danger, Heidi called it mesmerizing and Simon said it was her best performance so far.

Linkin' Bridge, who often had troubles with song choice, went with Charlie Puth's "When I See You Again". The solo vocals were shaky, but Heidi praised the song choice. Mel B. said they got better each time.

Opera singer Laura Bretan followed it up with a performance of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and nailed it. Simon admitted he didn't know much about classical music, but thought she's extraordinary. Howie called it a "million-dollar performance." Mel B. could sense Laura's nerves, but she still managed to hit every note.

The Clairvoyants' final act was planned four months ago, when they first met the judges. Amelie began by guessing a random audience member's birthday. She then correctly named the expiration date and last four digits of Simon's credit card while she was submerged underwater. Mel B. said it was mesmerizing and mind-blowing, while Heidi was certain that they would have their own show in Vegas.

Brian Justin Crum delivered a chilling performance of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" with an original arrangement. Mel B. said he made a risky choice, but it was paid off. Howie called it epic although he preferred the original arrangement.

Tape Face brought Mel B. on stage for his final act. He put a toilet seat around her neck and covered her head with a pillow case. As always, his performance was so weird you had to watch to understand. Howie said, "It's so stupid, it's wonderful."

Viktor Kee showed his makeup-free face in his introduction. He began his performance wearing a blindfold while juggling balls. He made a big mistake by dropping a ball, but made up for it by juggling a ball on fire. Simon called it immaculate, and Heidi said he's a true performer and artist.

Jon Dorenbos told an inspirational story while manipulating cards the judges signed. His touching and magical stint earned rave reviews from the judges as Simon said we'd be honored to call him the winner of "America's Got Talent".

Grace VanderWaal performed an original song called "Clay". The notes were not perfect, but she showed her powerful vocals. Howie dubbed her "Amazing Grace." Heidi called her the rarest diamond in a sea of jewels. Simon believed she would have a successful future.
