AGT 2024: Which three acts will advance to the semi-final? Vote for your favorite act
America’s Got Talent 2024 live shows resumed Tuesday night, August 13, following a two-week break for the Paris Olympics. Season 19 introduced a format change that shifts some of the power to the judges while still leaving key advancement decisions to the viewing public.
For the first time on AGT, each judge selected a Golden Buzzer act that advances directly to the finale. Meanwhile, America’s votes decide which three non-Golden Buzzer acts will move forward into a one-week semi-final round. The public’s choices will determine which performers continue their journeys toward the finale.
Sofia Vergara used her Golden Buzzer on the hand-balancing and Rolla Bolla troupe Matuka Hateka Acrobats, sending them straight to the finale. Of the eleven acts that performed, ten remain in contention for the public vote to determine the three semi-finalists.
Tuesday’s episode offered a lively and varied lineup. Vocalists LiV Warfield and Richard Goodall stood out for their commanding performances. Thirteen-year-old contortionist Arshiya delivered an unsettling, tightly controlled routine that showcased remarkable flexibility and stage presence. The dog act Rhythm & Roni charmed the audience with playful energy and precise teamwork. Across the board, the night mixed high-stakes spectacle with intimate, emotional moments.
