AGT

America voted, the results are in. And for seven unfortunate acts, the America’s Got Talent dream dries up.

Following Tuesday night’s second Quarterfinal, the live results show revealed three more talents who advance to the Semifinals.

It was a nervy wait, but a great result for Bay Melnick Virgolino, the 10 year old rock and blues guitarist; Leo High School Choir; and dance troupe Unreal, whose names were read out by host Terry Crews.

It’s the end of the line, however, for Duo Stardust, Ben Hightower, Alain Simonov, Alex Zinger, Jonglissimo, Boston Dynamics, EDT Dance Team, all of whom are sent home after their QF efforts.

The artists that move ahead in NBC’s talent competition will return to the AGT stage on Tuesday, Sept. 16 to compete in the Top 12, where they’ll be joined by the three acts that won America’s vote last week: Jourdan Blue, LightWire, and Sirca Mare. The remaining six will be determined during the next two weeks of competition.

As previously reported, Mama Duke cruises all the way to the Final, after winning Mel B’s Golden Buzzer on Tuesday night’s live elimination spot.

“You know what,” the Spice Girl remarked, “Missy Elliott better be watching out for you because you’re coming right now.” And with that, the British pop star slammed down the Golden Buzzer.

Judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara were also effusive in their praise of the aspiring hip-hop artist.  “I loved your audition,” Cowell remarked. “This might have been actually better. You have what I call it. Can’t explain what it is, it’s a feeling. You just know it and you have it. And this is going to be big, honestly. I really really like you.”

The Top 12 will chase seven available positions the Final, which include one Semifinal Golden Buzzer, six America’s votes, and the four Quarterfinal Golden Buzzer Acts. The ultimate winner gets more than bragging rights; they’ll collect a $1 million prize.
