America’s Got Talent Season 21 returned on Wednesday night for the first results show of the season. NCT 127 performed to open the episode, as host Terry Crews revealed which acts from Tuesday’s performance show made it through to the Semifinals thanks to America’s vote.
AGT Results: Who Made It Through?
During Tuesday’s show, AGT judge Howie Mandel pressed the Golden Buzzer for magic group Hundred Fingers, sending them straight into the Season 21 Finals. That left 10 more acts for viewers at home to vote for overnight.
During Wednesday’s results episode, Terry Crews announced which acts were in the Top 5 after America’s vote. Those acts were dog trainer Olivia Befus, rapper Luke Taleno, light-up dance group Royal Lasers, comedian Cris Sosa, and acrobatic group Jesse White Tumbling Team.
Out of those Top 5 acts, only three could move on to the Season 21 Semifinals. At the end of the night, it was revealed that the thre acts moving on are Olivia Befus, Royal Lasers, and Luke Taleno. They’ll get to perform again for their chance to make it into the Finals.
Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to seven acts during this week’s AGT results show. That included the two acts from the Top 5 who did not make it into the Semifinals — Cris Sosa and the Jesse White Tumbling Team.
Also eliminated this week were mentalist duo James & Marina, singing group CommUNITY ATL Choir, and singers Ashford Sanders and Brook Lynn. It’s notable that none of the acts who made it into the Semifinals from this week’s show are singers.
Next week, eleven more acts will take the stage in the second Quarterfinals performance episode. Another judge will press the Golden Buzzer to send an act into the Semifinals, and viewers at home will once again vote for their favorites.
