America’s Got Talent Season 21 returned on Tuesday night with a special episode titled “Live Acts Revealed.” The judges chose a number of acts to move on to the live shows, and it was also revealed which acts will be featured in next week’s Judges’ Callbacks round.
AGT Season 21 Live Acts Revealed
There are only 44 spots available in the AGT Season 21 live shows. Ten of those spots automatically go to this season’s Golden Buzzer recipients: rapper Luke Taleno, dog act ACRO Canine Crew, singers Lai Noelle and Lara D, magic act Hundred Fingers, singers Isaac Atkins and Mackenzie Sol, parkour act Rubén Roldán, aerialist Veronika Goroshkova, and light-up dance group Royal Lasers.
During Tuesday’s new episode, the show’s judges were shown deliberating over which acts should join the Golden Buzzers in the live shows. They chose a number of acts who were no-brainers, as the judges unanimously agreed that they should move on in the competition.
Those acts included singer Pynk Beard, magician Geno Ploeger, robot dance group Unitree, danger act Brad & Tracy, comedian Cesar Dias, choir Community ATL, magicians Young & Strange, dance group Come Here, singer Ashford Sanders, aerial duo Holland & Sienna, gymnastic group Jesse White Tumblers, sword-swallowing aerialist Herwan Legaillard, singer Jesse Joe, danger act Tyrone & Margo, poet Guy Kelton Jones, impressionist Cameron Logsdon, dancer Patrox, and singing group LaRussell.
