Xenia brothers perform tonight on 'America's Got Talent' finale

Sep. 13—Two Xenia natives are performing tonight during NBC's "America's Got Talent" two-night finale.

Kramer Sell, a Nashville-based drummer, and his brother, Clayton Sell, members of Drake Milligan's band. Milligan's band joins 10 other acts performing tonight to compete for the $1 million prize and a show in Las Vegas.

America's Got Talent fans will have the chance to vote for their favorite act tonight with the winner of Season 17 being revealed tomorrow night.

Across five weeks, there has been a total of 55 different performances with 11 acts performing each week on Tuesdays. According to NBC Insider, on the following night there has been a live result show where two acts advance to the finale each week based on fan votes.

Milligan is a Nashville-based country singer from Fort Worth, Texas, who has been focusing on recording his own songs and touring with his band.

Milligan and his band first appeared on Season 17 of "America's Got Talent" in early June. After the group performed on Tuesday, Aug. 9, they received praise from all four judges.

"You don't have to change a thing," said Sofia Vergara. "Your songs are like they've been played on the radio for years. You are amazing. You're the whole package. I think you're going to be... I think you are a star."

"I agree with Sofia, you're already a star," said Howie Mandel. "The song is great. The music is great. The performance is great. Your looks are great. You have a good chance of winning this whole thing. Only two can go through tonight, you will be one of them."

"What is not to love? People always talk about star power, It Factor, you got that sprinkled all over you," said Heidi Klum.

"In my opinion, I think you are the real deal. You are a great song writer. You have great charisma," said Simon Cowell. "This is, in my opinion, the best performance of the night."

The judges also praised Milligan for returning to the show after his song went No. 1 after the audition show aired.

According to NBC Insider, Cowell revealed he is more than impressed by this season's turnout.

"I think it's the best contestants we've ever had. Honestly," Cowell reportedly said Sept. 8 on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

"America's Got Talent" airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC and is streamed the following day on Peacock.
