After four months and picking out the best among thousands of hopefuls, 'America's Got Talent' got it down to the Top 6, and all of them gave their very best in the final performance night last Tuesday in hopes of becoming crowned as the show's season 9 winner. Facebook/ America's Got Talent

All six finalists performed twice. The show kicked off with 12-year old Quintavious Johnson singing Etta James' 'I'd Rather Go Blind.' Mat Franco followed with a close-up magic trick, in which he told a story about the three judges (Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Mel. B) in a bar. Then, Emily West glammed things up with her rendition of Sia's 'Chandelier.' Rocker Miguel Dakota followed it up with his version of 'Seven Nation Army.' Musical group Sons of Serendip kept the ball rolling with their performance of 'Somewhere Only We Know.' Then, acrobatic dance troupe AcroArmy closed the first round with an energetic performance.

For the second round, all contestants had to draw lots to determine who goes first. This time, Franco went first with an even bigger magic act which entailed the help of some volunteers holding up supersized cards, and judge Howard Stern organizing actual cards based on his 'gut feel.' Sons of Serendip stepped up their game with their own version of Evanescence's 'Wake Me Up Inside.' Johnson, this time accompanied by a choir, performed The Beatles' 'Let It Be.' Dakota followed with an acoustic version of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean.' AcroArmy dazzled the crowd with a death-defying performance which ended with a very tall human pyramid, and West closed the show singing Roberta Flack's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.'

The 'America's Got Talent' finale night will see the announcement of the season's winner, who will take home $1 million cash, in addition to headlining 'America's Got Talent Live' at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

The finale is reported to have an impressive lineup of guest stars who will be performing with the six finalists.

Cyndi Lauper will be singing 'True Colors' with West, while Lenny Kravitz will be singing 'American Woman' with Dakota, the New York Daily News reported.

Jennifer Hudson will be teaming up with Johnson, and Train will be joining forces with Sons of Serendip, while Travis Barker of Blink 182 will be performing with AcroArmy. The celebrity guest who will be performing alongside Franco has not yet been announced.

'America's Got Talent' season 9 Finale airs on Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
