Here's a quick look at the finalists and what their odds are:
Hairo TorresA passionate breakdancer, Torres has squeaked by with his emotional performances that have him contorting in sometimes previously unimaginable ways. But his final dance was met with lukewarm responses from the judges.
Odds of winning: Low -- he's good, but probably not good enough.
Drew StevynsStevyns is a singer-songwriter who's been playing various instruments since he was little. While he may not stand out as a frontrunner, he has slowly and steadily wound his way to the finals.
Odds of winning: Low -- while good, he just doesn't scream "frontrunner" when more than half the competitors are actual singers.
Lawrence BeamanWith his booming Barry White-style baritone voice and killer smile, Beaman's soulful singing and humble attitude, the soulful Beaman has sailed through to the finals.
Odds of winning: Medium-low -- he's talented, attractive and likable, but he just might fall through the cracks.
Fab FiveMade up of five sisters who grew up on a dairy farm, the Fab Five are power tap-dancers who have used their unique talent to ride out life's bumps. Their synchronized style and girl-next-door attitude go a long way.
Odds of winning: Medium-high -- their mesmerizing final performance to Britney Spears' 'Circus' should give them a boost with the voters.
The Texas TenorsThis trio of crooners from -- you guessed it, Texas -- has become the show's guiltiest pleasure, with their irresistible combo of cowboy hats, boots and harmonies.
Odds of winning: Medium-high -- as we all know, don't mess with Texas ... and don't count these guys out just yet.
Grandma LeeThe 75-year-old's comedic timing has made her a fan favorite since the get-go. Grandma Lee is the perfect mix of saucy and sweet that seems to have everybody rooting for her.
Odds of winning: High -- she's entertaining, plus who can resist giving a little old lady her lifelong dream of hitting the big time?
Kevin Skinner Since day one, 'AGT' has been trying to label country singer Skinner as a Susan Boyle for the U.S. set, trumpeting that underneath his frumpy chicken farmer appearance lies a hidden musical gem.
Odds of winning: High -- he's the show's everyman who just so happens to be able to sing.
Barbara PadillaThe opera singer who almost wasn't, Padilla was diagnosed with cancer that threatened her voice. Now in remission, she's hit all the right notes with the judges and viewers.
Odds of winning: High -- she's got the voice and the sob story, but her downfall could be that an opera singer won last season.
The Voices of GloryThe three siblings who helped coax their mother out of a coma using only their voices have talent and the sob story of the year on their side. Week after week, everyone eats them up.
Odds of winning: High -- they've got the whole package.
Recycled PercussionThis unique band is made up of musicians who make beats with anything they can get their hands on -- buckets, trash cans, utensil, you name it. Their take on the Beach Boys' 'Wipeout' on Monday night's finals blew the place away.
Odds of winning: High -- the judges gush and the audience eats up their act, which very well could leave them the ones to beat.

Hairo Torres is "one of a kind". I know there are other contestants who are favored but I cannot help but to say that the 'singers' should've opted for Amercan Idol. Torres stands out from everyone else in that his specialized style is so remarkable that its difficult to imagine a human being who can move like he can. He deserves to win,plain and simple. Think about it.

Robert-I think they are too old for American Idol. Torres is good but could you really watch him for a whole show? I think Recycled Percussion should take it all.

BARBARA PADILLA HAS INCREDIBLE TALENT.WHETHER THE CALL IN VOTES WILL RECOGNIZE THIS REMAINS TO BE SEEN.SHE SURELY WILL BE PICKED UP BY AN OPERA CO.-A GREAT FUTURE FOR HER.SUSAN BOYLE IS TESTAMENT TO THIS.

While Barbara has a nice voice and a masters degree in singing, she has vocal problems and needs a teacher to fix them. What she sang on the show is repertoire done by undergraduate singing students (her final aria is actually quite easy and done by HS students). She has not shown that she is ready for an opera company and probably would not get past the second round of most opera company training program auditions.
Not trying to be mean, just stating facts as a vocal coach and accompanist for professional classical singers.

Well, we now know who won AGT, I'm not sure if he can pull it off in Vegas though,I dont think his voice is that strong to keep the people coming back for more, I thought his performance last night was'nt all that great. sorry, just my opinion..although he had alot of heart..

Go Recycled Precussion!!!! Small town boys from NH are really struttin' their stuff. Hope they go all the way. Barbara is awesome, but not for Vegas. Hope she is able to sing her passion on a stage. Next' I liked the 3 kids and Hairo Torres. My top 5 includes the 5 tap sisters. The singers and the grannie did not impress me for this venue. Fun show.

Hairro sold out, he got a job in indian Bollywood industry. He went crazy 'kookoo mode' in his last performance

RECYCLED PERCUSSION is the only act that can entertain for an hour show and keep it interesting. I would pay to go see them in Vegas..the others, I am happy with their one performance on t.v.

"RECYCLED PERCUSSION" IS VERY ORIGINAL OF WHAT THEY DO....THEY BELONG IN LAS VEGAS....I THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE BLUE MAN'S GROUP, BEEN TO THAT SHOW, BUT I THINK THE RECYCLED PERCUSSION IS A LOT BETTER ONCE THEY GET TO HAVE A REAL SHOW OF THEIR OWN....I WOULD LOVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO LAS VEGAS IF THEY WILL HAVE THEIR OWN SHOW THERE......I HAVE THE FEELIING THAT THEY WILL WIN....I LOVE BARBARA PADILLA TOO, BUT SHE IS FOR NEW YORK STAGE NOT LAS VEGAS....KEVIN SKINNER HE IS GOOD TOO...AS WELL AS HAIRO TORRES....THE VOICE OF GLORY....AND THE THE TRIO TENORS FROM TEXAS....GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE, .....I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE LAST SHOW TOMORROW....
