A new winner will be crowned this week in the finale of "America's Got Talent" season 10, with the 10 finalists hoping to be the one to bring home the $1-million cash prize. 

Some fans of the show were not happy that the top 10 contestants are all male, and that some of the fan-favorite acts like singer Sharon Irving did not reach the finals.

This year's top 10 are composed of magicians John Van der Put (popularly known as Piff the Magic Dragon) and Derek Hughes, solo singer Benton Blount, vocal duo Craig Lewis Band, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, standup comedians Drew Lynch and Gary Vider, ladder acrobat artist Uzeyer Novruzov, mentalist Oz Pearlman, and professional regurgitator Stevie Starr. 

Among the contestants, three are from the U.K., namely Piff the Magic Dragon, Starr, and Zerdin. 

But who will win the top prize this season? 

Entertainment prediction website Gold Derby recently released a report about the possible results in season 10 and Paul Zerdin emerged as the "AGT" hopeful that will likely win the top spot, with 4-7 odds. Meanwhile, fellow British act and cards expert Piff the Magic Dragon is on the second spot, earning 6-1 odds. 

Rounding up the first five spots on the prediction list are Drew Lynch in the third place with 8-1 odds, singer and guitarist Benton Blount in the fourth place with 14-1 odds, and Steve Starr in the fifth place with 25-1 odds.

The finalists with lower rankings, meanwhile, are Novruzov, Pearlman, Vider, aUzeyer, Hughes, and The Craig Lewis Band. 

To help the audience vote for the best act in this year's "America's Got Talent," judges Howie Mandel, Howard Stern, Mel B., and Heidi Klum will be commenting on the performance of each finalist during their last appearance on tonight, Sept. 15. The results will be announced on Sept. 16.
