Performing tonight will be Justin Bieber who released today his second book, NE-YO and Green Day which will debut a new song.
Fans of the show were divided about their votes. Earlier they stormed social networks such as Facebook, with predictions for the winner.
"It was such an amazing night of talent! So hard to call! I'm gonna go with Tom Cotter or Olate Dogs. OR William Close," fan Dean Klebonas wrote on Facebook Wednesday night.
"It was a great show tonight! Hard to choose! I like Tom, the sand guy and the CMYK!!!" another fan named Jacque Grimsley wrote.
Still, people on Facebook were also negative about the show.
"Hey, I'm a dog lover, I have nine of them. But I don't want the dog act to win. Not only is William Close a shame, I think the whole program is. None of the final acts deserve to win.
There were much better acts that got sent home," Facebook user Thom S Johnson said.
