America’s Got Talent 2025 Quarterfinals 1 poll results and prediction – Which THREE acts will advance to the Semifinals?
America’s Got Talent season 20 moves into its first live results show tonight (Aug 20). The live rounds span six weeks: four weeks of Quarterfinal performances featuring 44 acts, followed by a semifinal week and the grand finale. Each judge—Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B. and Sofia Vergara—has a live show Golden Buzzer this season. Each week a judge will send one performance straight to the Finale, while America will vote to send three of the remaining ten acts to the semifinals.
This article summarizes the audience poll results for Quarterfinals 1 and offers a prediction based on those votes and general viewer sentiment. The polls reflect which acts fans believe are most likely to move forward from this round into the semifinal, and they also reveal fan favorites heading into the live results night.

Poll participants placed the dancing light show Lightwire at the top of both “who will advance” and “favorite act” categories. Singer Jourdan Blue, a former American Idol contestant, and dance crew B. Unique Crew also performed strongly in the voting. Married acrobats Sirca Marea tied with Jourdan Blue in the advancement poll, indicating a close race for the remaining semifinal slots.
Prediction
Prediction: Based on the poll results and overall audience reaction, the three acts most likely to advance to the semifinals are Lightwire, Jourdan Blue, and B. Unique Crew. Lightwire’s visual, family-friendly performance tends to attract broad viewer support, while Jourdan Blue’s vocal ability and backstory resonate with voters. B. Unique’s dance routine has strong crowd appeal and the kind of energy that often translates into votes during the live rounds.
Sirca Marea’s tie with Jourdan Blue in the polls shows they are also viable contenders; acrobatic acts frequently receive strong televote support for their risk and spectacle. The final results may hinge on tonight’s live voting and how each act connects with viewers during the results show.
