Michael Grimm

We've got some time before the last five finalists of 'America's Got Talent' are announced, but AOL TV can exclusively reveal the musical performers that will be stopping by for the rest of the season.

Tony Bennett with Queen Latifah, Susan Boyle, Il Divo, David Guetta with Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida, Def Leppard, and Cirque du Soleil 'Iris' are set to perform on the popular talent competition series.

Also appearing will be last season's winner, Michael Grimm, and first runner-up, Jackie Evancho.

'AGT' executive producer Jason Raff gave us scoop on what he hopes these acts will bring to the show -- both on and off screen.

"Tonight, one act's life will change forever." - Nick

After about three months of competition, it's now time to crown the winner of Season 5 of 'America's Got Talent.' Prior to Nick announcing the results, our latest TV Squad poll placed Jackie Evancho as winner with close to 20 percent more votes than Prince Poppycock, who took second place. Fighting Gravity was in third while Michael Grimm placed fourth.

Did the TV Squad voters get it right? Let's get on with the happenings of this way too-long, two-hour finale.

The 'America's Got Talent' winner for season 5 was named Wednesday night, after a summer filled with magicians, aerialists, dance troupes and opera singers. So who won 'America's Got Talent'?

In a shocking finale outcome, singer Michael Grimm triumphed over early favorite, 10-year-old opera singer Jackie Evancho, to win the $1 million prize and a Las Vegas show.

"Is this really happening?" asked the 30-year-old singer in disbelief, then screamed, "Yes!"

We're down to the Top Four on 'America's Got Talent' (Tue., 9PM ET on NBC). On Wednesday's finale, this season's winner will be crowned. Tonight, the last four players got one more chance to show their stuff in front of the judges. But during this main event, some of the hottest variety performers of the season also got to dance, play music, spin through the air and display a little magic.

Can you identify all of the former contestants who reappeared on the show tonight? Or did you only have eyes for the finalists?

"People please vote." - Howie

Howie almost sounded like a broken record when he said over and over again that it was important that America voted after the live show. And he's right. Every vote counts and, based on the few polls we've done here at TV Squad, it would take only a handful of votes to sway the win from one act to another!

The Top 4 acts had one last chance to impress America. Did they? Most did but one act got Xed! Yes, an X in the finals!!! The answer as to who got Xed and how the others performed is coming up!

Despite dark horses stepping up their games, there weren't any real surprises when the 'America's Got Talent' final 4 were revealed to be Prince Poppycock, Michael Grimm, Jackie Evancho and Fighting Gravity.

"The four that made it into the finals have kind of been the favorites the entire time," noted host Nick Cannon. "It's tough because of the great performances we had [in the Top 10.] But America chose the ones it felt like it always wanted to choose."

Is Cannon ever even tempted to read a name other than the one written on the card?

"No. I just hope I don't say the wrong name," Cannon laughed. "It's live TV so I have to focus on exactly what those cards say."

The Top 10 performers have offered us quality performances during their live shows, and deciding whom to vote for was not an easy task. The judges, especially Howie, were grateful that they didn't have to make the cut from 10 to four acts. Anonymous "America" had to make the difficult choices.

Did your favorite acts go through to the Top 4? Results coming up!

It's time to pick some more semi-finalists on 'America's Got Talent' (Wed., 9PM ET on NBC). Who will win? Who will lose? Let's find out! And your next batch of semi-finalists are ...

[Spoiler alert.]

... Pretty much the people that you would have expected. Crowd favorites AscenDance made it through, as did blues singer Michael Grimm. Also making the cut was Alice Tan Ridley, mother of 'Precious' star Gabby Sidibe. Alice has a moving back-story, a celebrity daughter, and has been singing for tips on subway trains for the past twenty years -- all of which is pretty heartwarming, and which basically guaranteed her a spot in the next round.

Antonio Restivo was the last pick for this batch of semi-finalists. Why did Antonio win? Because fire and magic are really really cool, that's why. After his selection, Antonio gave a moving shout-out to his father, who watched his earliest performances, but who passed on before he could see his son make it this far.

All in all, it was a fairly unsurprising night of choices on 'America's Got Talent.' But we're glad to see a bunch of obviously skilled performers continue on the road to the finals
