The 18th winner of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” has been crowned, and it’s fan-fave dog act Adrian Stoica and Hurricane. They are the show’s second animal act to prevail after Olate Dogs 11 years earlier. (See the updated winners list.) Stoica, who previously competed on “Italia’s Got Talent” and “Romania’s Got Talent,” now sums up his “AGT” victory in three words: “crazy,” “unbelievable” and “amazing.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Stoica reveals he never thought he would even “be in the Finals,” let alone win the entire reality TV show. It was always his “big dream” to come try out his animal act on the American stage because it’s the “biggest in the world.” The American judges are Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara and the host is Terry Crews.

*Caution: Spoilers ahead!
After nearly four months of competition, “America’s Got Talent” has crowned a season 18 champion!
It all came down to the Top 11 on Wednesday — which included singers, a stand-up comedian, a young magician, three dance crews, two choirs, and a record-setting total of five Golden Buzzer winners — all of whom beat the odds to make it this far.
However, only one could win the grand prize of $1 million and a special stage show at the Luxor in Las Vegas.
After a fun night of big celebrity cameos and memorable performances — which took up the majority of the first hour of the big two-hour finale — host Terry Crews had the unenviable task of revealing the first results of the night, and slashing the Top 11 down to the Top 5.
The acts to make the Top 5 included the acrobatic duo the Ramadhani Brothers, the singer and pianist Putri Ariani, the trained...

The Season 18 finale of “America’s Got Talent” is just hours away, with NBC set to air the two-hour event from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 27. All summer long, Gold Derby readers have been making their predictions for who they think will win the $1 million grand prize, and it’s currently neck-and-neck between Murmuration and Putri Ariani. Do You agree or disagree with our users’ forecasts?
Murmuration, the synchronized dance group from France, earned Howie Mandel‘s Golden Buzzer in the auditions and instantly became a fan-favorite. Many viewers have compared the 65-member precision group to The Mayyas, the Lebanese dancers who won last season’s competition. (Heads up: The Mayyas will return to the show to perform during the Wednesday finale.)
Putri Ariani is Simon Cowell‘s Golden Buzzer singer who goes viral each week with her pitch-perfect voice and out-of-the-box song choices (including those...

On Wednesday night we will find out who America voted the next champion of “America’s Got Talent,” earning the chance to see their name in the big lights of Vegas. Before that happens, there are predictions and opinions to discuss about who we think Should be the winner. Eleven acts will perform one last time on Tuesday, but if you ask me, there is only one that America should send straight through to Vegas and that’s the Ramadhani Brothers.
As of this writing, the sibling danger act is not being predicted by Gold Derby as the winner and have long shot odds of 100/1. Instead, most users believe the French dance troupe Murmuration or Indonesian vocalist Putri Ariani will win.

“America’s Got Talent” continued the live shows of its 18th season on August 29 with the second round of performances in the “Qualifiers.” On Tuesday night’s show, 11 acts performed for America’s vote and only two of them will advance to “The Finals” when the results are delivered by Terry Crews on Wednesday night. Before that happens, we can reveal that Your favorite act of the night was group dance act Murmuration, as voted on by viewers in Gold Derby’s overnight poll.
Murmuration had the all-important spot of closing out Tuesday’s performance show as the final act to make their case for a spot in the finale. Following their first round audition, Howie Mandel selected them as his personal Golden Buzzer act and was enthusiastic about their follow-up performance. Simon Cowell added that they are “in a different league” compared to all the other acts that performed Tuesday night.

Howie Mandel‘s eye-popping Golden Buzzer, Murmuration, wowed the judges during the “America’s Got Talent” Season 18 live show on Tuesday, August 29. (Read our minute-by-minute recap.) The 65-member dance group from Nimes, France hypnotized viewers with their in-sync movements set to a fast-paced track, which gave us flashbacks to The Mayyas, a similar act that ultimately won last year’s competition. Watch the live “AGT” video above.
Following their live act, which incorporated top hats, white gloves and hand lights, the members of the dance crew spelled out “Stop Hate We Need Love And Unity” with their arms. Howie praised their “uniqueness” and urged America to vote for Murmuration because, “They have to be in the finals.”
Simon Cowell proclaimed, “This was in a different league to anything we’ve seen so far,” and called them “literally perfection.” Sofia Vergara chimed in that Murmuration was “breathtaking” and predicted they would have a “special night.

While series judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel are still around to offer their support and critique of the acts, the power is out of their hands and rests all in America’s vote. Only two acts from each of the five qualifying groups will win over America and earn a spot in the “AGT” finale.
Qualifier 1, which aired live on NBC on August 22, featured encore performances by Heidi Klum‘s Golden Buzzer singer Lavender Darcangelo plus dog act Adrian Stoica & Hurricane, ventriloquist Brynn Cummings, dancer Lambros Garcia, stand-up Maureen Langan, dance troupe Oleksandr Leshchenko & Magic Innovation, singer Mitch Rossell, choir Sainted, the band True Villains,...

On August 8, “America’s Got Talent” season 18 closed out the first round with the final performances from hopefuls in “Auditions 9.” By this point, six Golden Buzzer acts had been announced–one from each of the four series judges, another from host Terry Crews, and a special Audience Golden Buzzer. But after the Japanese dance group Chibi Unity took the stage, the panel had no choice but to bring back the Group Golden Buzzer for another season. Watch the full performance that in the video above.
Before Chibi Unity performed for the judges, they told Simon Cowell that they were inspired by champions Mayyas. Simon explained that Mayyas are the best dance act that’s ever been on the show, but that didn’t stop the spokesperson for Chibi Unity from asserting that they’re eager to perform to show what they can do as well. Their routine began in darkness, with...

10. Dani Kerr: Dani Kerr has a lot of potential and I liked her guitar. On the opposite side of the coin, the audition did not blow me away whatsoever. It felt a little karaoke to me even after she began her second song. Vocally, she is a 10. Performance is where she needs major improvement.

“America’s Got Talent” returned on Tuesday for the fourth night of season 18 auditions, and the show kept the talent train rolling along with a brand new selection of jaw-dropping performances and potential future celebs.
The show’s stalwart stars — including judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum, as well as host Terry Crews — returned to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium as another group of hopefuls hit the stage to show off their skills.
Early in the second hour of Tuesday’s two-hour show, one particularly impressive dance crew, known as Murmuration, took the stage with a unique act involving 65 total dancers.
The performance involved one man leading the giant cadre of synchronized performers — all of whom managed to pull off a perfectly times routine with their arms and upper bodies and all while blindfolded.
It truly is something you’ve got to see to really understand the beauty.

The fourth week of America’s Got Talent Season 18 auditions introduced viewers to Murmuration, a 65-member dance troupe from France that left the judges mesmerized with its incredibly precise movements — especially for a group of its size, easily the largest ever to appear on the AGT stage. Never mind the fact that the dancers did the entire routine blindfolded.
