The "America's Got Talent" contestants are edging closer to the contest's $1 million prize, as the last live qualifiers episode aired on Tuesday night ahead of next week's finale.

Chibi Unity is at +200 to win "AGT" after progressing last week alongside Anna DeGuzman, who is now +400.

Gabriel Henrique Has Judges' Backing 

There are just two spots in the finale left, and it is now up to America to vote after judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara delivered their verdicts to the 11 hopefuls on Tuesday night.

During the qualifiers, every Golden Buzzer act has progressed to the finale, except Chioma and the Atlanta Drum Academy. Vergara’s Golden Buzzer act, Gabriel Henrique, at +300 to win Season 18, is the last one remaining.

Following Henrique’s performance on Tuesday, Cowell predicted he had booked himself a spot in the next stage, and Mandel agreed.

Vergara was also confident America will vote for Henrique, but there is some strong competition.

Head balancers Ramadhani Brothers (+500) used blindfolds to take their act up a notch, and Cowell called it “spellbinding,” while Klum said their act is one of the best in the world.

82nd Airborne Chorus May March Into Finale 

Representing the 19,000 men and women supporting the Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Chorus is just +400 to win “AGT."

They performed Pink tune "I Am Here" and it went down well with the panelists, with Cowell and Mandel thanking them for their service. 

They received a standing ovation from all four judges, as did 11-year-old mariachi singer Eduardo Antonio Trevino (+700). Vergara praised him as "a star already,” and Klum believes "everyone in America" will remember him. 

Dance group Avantgardey, now at +700 from +1000, could also be in contention to progress after Mandel said the dance group should go through, and he also liked comedian Mandy Muden, who may outdo her +1000 price. 

The judge asked America to vote for her, but the panelist wasn't as confident when it came to several other acts. 

Mandel Doubts Lachuné

Singer Lachuné (+900) sang "Simply the Best" and Cowell admitted he would "love" to see her make the finale.

But Mandel poured cold water on her chances, insisting he doesn't think the performance will get her into the latter stage, and Vergara buzzed his comment.

Elsewhere, Hula hoop aerialist Grace Good and seven-year-old dancer Eseniia Mikheeva are at +800 following their qualifier performances.

Sangsoon Kim's "AGT" days also look numbered after Vergara said his qualifier act was "not better than your audition.”

The magician is now +1200, while country singing duo Trailer Flowers is propping up the "AGT" market at +1400.

Next week, the finale airs on Tuesday night, with the finale results presented Wednesday night.
