After an intense results show that pitted 10 great performers against each other in pairs to see who would make it through, America’s Got Talent revealed the four acts who would compete next week for the $1 million prize. “I don’t know whose name is going to be in that card when I read ’em,” host Nick Cannon says, “so it’s crazy.” Read on to find out!

The final four are: opera and cabaret singer Prince Poppycock, blues singer Michael Grimm, opera phenom Jackie Evancho, and black-light performance troupe, Fighting Gravity.

“It’s the most talent in a finale that we’ve ever had,” says judge Piers Morgan. “[There are] four very different acts, different characters. A bunch of college lads, a beautiful young girl, you’ve got mad crazy Poppycock and Michael Grimm’s story, which is very moving because he’s worked so hard in his career and his personal life, and all of them, in their own way, do represent America at its very best.”

“The best thing [about the other finalists] is they are always cheering me on,” Evancho tells PEOPLE. “They’re never backing out and they’re never letting me down. They are always on your team. They are not the enemy.” As for how she is saving her voice, Evancho adds, “I usually drink a lot of water and I just don’t talk a lot to make sure my vocal cords don’t get too tired before a performance.”

In the last pairing of the night, dance crew Studio One Young Beast Society stood next to Fighting Gravity for the final spot. “That was unbelievable,” says Gravity’s Travis Dalrymple, “For the past two weeks, Studio One has been with us and we became great friends with them It’s very humbling to know that America voted us through.”

Grimm went guitar-free to sing Al Green before taking his spot in the finale, but in an ode to his semifinal performance, he always leaves his hat on. “I actually had one hat that I wore for many years,” he says, “and the thing has just about fallen apart on me . . . But it was my lucky hat . . . It’s sentimental.”

When Prince Poppycock thanked America onstage and encouraged people who think they are outsiders to follow their dreams, he was speaking from the heart. “I had a difficult time growing up because I am quite different and I didn’t know better than to show it, so I was teased and hazed and beaten up,” he says. “I do just want kids that are feeling pain and do feel on the outside to know that pain brings wisdom and they can have a beautiful life and they need to keep believing in themselves.”

All four acts perform on Sept. 14 before a winner is determined Sept. 15. Says Sharon Osbourne, “I am just excited as the viewer at home to see what they can deliver for us.”
