America’s Got Talent 2025 finale poll results: We predict the WINNER of season 20
For most seasons of America’s Got Talent, the winner is obvious by the time the finale rolls around. For instance, who doubted that rocking janitor, Richard Goodall would win it all last season?
This season’s uncertainty is reflected in our poll results, as the Top vote getter did not clear 50%. Tonight’s results could be surprising!
Now that the votes are in, all that is left is to watch celebrity performers duet with the finalists, plenty of video filler, host Terry Crews announcing the Top 5 before revealing the winner in the last seconds of the show.

Prediction
Voters say Lightwire WILL and SHOULD win. However, while Richard Goodall garnered over 70% of the vote last season, Lightwire only scored over 40% in the WILL win poll. Jessica Sanchez is right behind them with a over 34% of the vote. Spot three is split between Jourdan Blue in the SHOULD win poll (12%) and rapper Chris Turner in the WILL win poll (12%). In the SHOULD win poll, Lightwire and Jessica Sanchez scored almost 44% and over 31%, respectively.
The judges panel pushed hard for Lightwire Tuesday night, despite their routine not being a step up from what they’ve done before. It felt like no matter how the group performed on stage, the judges were determined to push them. American Idol alum Jessica Sanchez is a fan favorite, but placing her first in the line up means she’s not a producer’s favorite. This season is so unpredictable, Chris Turner could come out of the woodwork and take it all. Jourdan Blue is also a dark horse. The thing is, the final 10 is REAL top heavy with singers this season. SEVEN acts out of 10 involve singing/rapping! Which means maybe they split the vote?
Prediction time! I am not entire confident. But I’ll play it safe and go with the voters. LightWire will win America’s Got Talent. Jessica Sanchez, Jourdan Blue, Chris Turner will make the Top 5
