After the September 16 episode of\u00a0America\u2019s Got Talent<\/a>, we officially know which 10 acts will be competing in the Season 21 Finals. Twelve contestants performed in the Semifinals<\/a> on September 15, and the six who received the most viewer votes are moving on.<\/p>\n

Those six are joining previously-announced Live Golden Buzzer winners Lai Noelle<\/a>, Hundred Fingers, Nene Royal, and Unitree in the finale.<\/a> They\u2019ll all take the stage one final time on September 22 and the act who receives the most viewer votes will be announced during the final episode on September 23.<\/p>\n

The 12 semifinalists gave it their all for their performances. Simon Cowell<\/a> was still away recovering from back surgery<\/a>, but judges Howie Mandel<\/a>, Sofia Vergara<\/a>, and Mel B.<\/a> all shared their thoughts during the live show. They ultimately had no say in who moved forward, though, as the decision all came down to America\u2019s votes.<\/p>\n

Scroll down to find out who is in the Finals and who was eliminated.<\/p>\n

Who made the Finals?<\/p>\n

Of course, Terry Crews<\/a> had to drag out the reveal during the results show. He split the acts into pairs to announce the results, revealing who would be heading to the finals (and who would be eliminated) one by one.<\/p>\n

The six acts that ended up receiving the most votes and will be moving onto the Semifinals are: Olivia Befus, Veronika Goroshkova, Acro Canine Dance Crew, Come Here, Royal Lasers, and Geno Ploeger.<\/p>\n

Who was eliminated?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that means the journey is over for six other acts. The contestants who were eliminated during the Semifinals are:\u00a0Kameron Marshall, Daniel Alvarez<\/a>, Cesar Dias, Luke Taleno<\/a>, Young & Strange, and\u00a0Travis Garland.<\/p>\n
