COMBO Editor: Go to the URL listed to get all 44. We’ve narrowed the list down to the musical acts. These musicians are super talented and all should have awesome careers with a little help from AGT. We’re wishing them well!
There are four rounds of Quarterfinals, with 11 Acts in each round. The Judges can send one Act per round straight to the Finals with the Live Golden Buzzer, leaving the remaining 10 Acts to compete for votes on Tuesday nights. The three Acts with the highest number of votes then move forward to the Semifinals.
At the Semifinals, the 12 Acts that won their respective votes compete again (plus the 4 Gbs make 16 acts), and there is another round of voting, with the top 6 Acts moving on to the Finals. They’ll join the four winners of the Live Golden Buzzers to form the Top 10 Finalists.
