Cleo Paladino spends her days working at a doggy daycare and singing to puppies, but performing in front of people had always terrified her. At 26, she finally stepped outside her comfort zone with Christina Aguilera’s “The Voice Within,” earning three chair turns before choosing Melanie C.
Nobody in Voice Australia history had ever done what Olivia Coe Fox did on that stage (2025). The 21-year-old Aboriginal teacher walked out with her brother on the didgeridoo and delivered "I Am Australian" in both English and Yawuru Aboriginal language leaving every single person in that room speechless. All 4 coaches turned, the crowd stood up and within hours the whole of Australia was talking about her. This wasn't just a blind audition. This was a moment.
AGT Finals summary
Idk what the "Performed with (2nd Performance)" column means. Was Tuesday night the Finals or not? Are tonight's Results the Final Results or not? A guess: There will be some joint performances tonight that the audience doesn't vote on. 9pm to 11pm ET.

Aha, it's performances by contestants and celebrity acts, not affecting the results. First up: South Korean dance act Come Here alongside South Korean singer and rapper Rei Ami. Then, the two dog acts perform together with Lele Pons, which must have been an interesting level of distraction.
Also:
Josh Groban and Veronika Goroshkova
Linkin Park and Nene Royal :clap: Nice collab.

Nene Royal Goes FULL ROCKSTAR With “Seven Nation Army” By The White Stripes | The Final | AGT 2026
16-year-old from Thailand :-|| . There are other singers, but no rockers. Idk if she'll split any votes. Top 5! :thumbup: The other singers are out. She's in the top 2!!! OMG, she won. What an honor for youth, Thailand and rock and roll (and Vrede too ;) ). A new international rock star is crowned at 16.

Olivia Befus’ Dogs STEAL The Show In A Toy-Filled Spectacle! | The Final | AGT 2026
She's worked so hard at 18 years old (17 when she auditioned), I was really rooting for her. However, the dogs missed several tricks and the judges noticed and mentioned it . I don't think she'll peel too many votes away from Acro Canine Crew. Bottom 5 , no surprise
Both dog acts are out. Maybe they did split votes. It was a first for AGT to have two in the Finals.
Caitlin Koch may look like the sweetest person you’ll ever meet, but this talented singer has a seriously unexpected side. Known as a rugby player and coach, Caitlin showed the judges on The X Factor that her powerful voice was just as impressive as her athletic ability....
Sara Zofia Egwu-James (born 10 June 2008) is a Polish singer and songwriter. She won the fourth season of the Polish talent show The Voice Kids in 2021, and represented Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Somebody", finishing as a runner-up. James was also a finalist in the 17th season of America's Got Talent in 2022. She released her debut studio album, Playhouse, in 2024....
Lai Noelle delivered a powerful performance in the AGT 2026 Final, proving that age is no limit when it comes to vocal talent. At just 14 years old, she impressed the judges with a voice that Mel B compared to Whitney Houston, while the panel praised her incredible, mesmerizing vocals.
Notorious brought huge energy, tight choreography, and plenty of attitude to Britain’s Got Talent 2023. The young dance crew had only been together for a few weeks when they first took the stage, but their performances impressed the judges and earned strong praise from Simon Cowell. In the Semi-Final, Simon went even further, saying an act like Notorious should honestly be in the Finals. Watch all of Notorious' BGT performances and see why these kids made such a big impact.
