Watch the 44 Acts that Made the ‘America’s Got Talent’ Live Shows originally appeared on Parade.
Tonight is the final night of Season 20 America’s Got Talent auditions but with a surprise ending. In the second half of the episode, host Terry Crews and judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara will reveal the top 44 acts that made it into the Live Shows, which includes the 10 Golden Buzzers.
The live shows will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 19 with four weeks of quarterfinals before heading into a semifinal round and culminating in an epic two-night finale event. Results shows will air Wednesday nights beginning Aug. 20.
The Live Show Golden Buzzer is back as each week the judges can send one act directly to the finals. America’s vote will then determine which additional three acts will advance to the semifinals.
In the semifinal round, 12 acts will compete and the six acts that receive the most votes from the viewers will then join the four Live Show Golden Buzzers heading to the finals.
New this season, one act will receive a Semifinals Golden Buzzer during the semifinals performance show on Sept. 16, earning a coveted spot in the show-stopping two-night finale beginning Sept. 23 and concluding Sept 24.
Following is the list divided into the week they’ll appear on the AGT stage:
