‘America’s Got Talent’ 2021 Winner Predictions

After a summer of flaming birds, creepy marionette dancers, and other wild acts took the stage over on America’s Got Talent, it’s finally time to crown a winner. Season 16 of NBC‘s hit talent competition show will air its final episode tonight, and for folks wondering who to place bets on, we have some recommendations. Will a stand-up comedian finally take the cash prize, or is a singer about to snag first place again?

Voting closer earlier today after last night’s (Sept. 14) live show, so the winner has already been selected, believe it or not! There are three singers, two comedians, two magicians, one choir, one aerialist, and one martial arts team vying for first place. Here are our predictions for the America’s Got Talent 2021 winner:

Who’s competing in the America’s Got Talent finale tonight?

There are ten competitors vying for the top prize. Here’s the full list of folks trying to snag the million dollar cash prize:

  • Aidan Bryant (Aerialist)
  • Brooke Simpson (Singer)
  • Dustin Tavella (Magician)
  • Gina Brillon (Comedian)
  • Jimmie Herrod (Singer)

Who will win America’s Got TalentAmerica’s Got Talent winner predictions:

Could this finally be a year a stand-up comedian takes the top prize? A big win from Gina Brillon or Josh Blue could be on the horizon, either of which would be the first stand-up performer to win the series. At the moment, Blue is the most favored competitor to win at the betting site GoldDerby, with 27/20 odds in his favor.

But could it go to Victory Brinker, a young opera singer who was the first Golden Buzzer decision? Perhaps, considering singers are the most popular winners in the series.

Aerialist Aidan Bryant is also favored to win by GoldDerby, a judge’s favorite who stunned with his performance last night. He’s currently sitting at 13/2 odds.

What we do know is that both groups competing — Northwell Nurse Choir and World Taekwondo Demo. Team — aren’t looking at big wins during tonight’s finale. They’re sitting low in the ranks on GoldDerby’s odds panel. Most likely, a solo performer will take the cash prize all for themself.
