America’s Got Talent 2025 Quarterfinal 3 poll results and prediction – Which THREE acts will advance to the Semifinals?
America’s Got Talent Season 20 reached its third live Wednesday results show on September 3, marking the midpoint of the Quarterfinals. The live rounds span six weeks: four weeks of Quarterfinal performances featuring 44 contestants, followed by a semi-final week and the grand finale. Each live night is high stakes as the judges and the viewing audience determine who moves forward toward the finals.
The judging panel—Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Sofia Vergara—also each have a Live Show Golden Buzzer. During the live rounds, a judge may send one act straight to the Finale with that buzzer. On this week’s show, Simon used his Live Show Golden Buzzer on singer Micah Palace.
Fans participated in site polls to voice their preferences after Quarterfinals 3. Below are the poll results and a prediction based on those numbers, viewer support trends, and the performances aired during the episode.
Overall fan voting in the polls shows a clear frontrunner and several strong contenders. Jessica Sanchez, whose both vocal pedigree and personal storyline have resonated with viewers, led the polls by a significant margin. Behind her, the high-tech magician Mastermind and former Homefree lead singer Austin Brown held the next highest shares of fan support.
Prediction
My prediction combines the poll results with performance impact and audience momentum. Jessica Sanchez appears highly likely to advance to the semi-finals, buoyed by a strong fan base and the emotional connection many viewers feel with her current circumstances. For the remaining two advancing slots, I predict Mastermind and the Messoudi Brothers will join her. Mastermind’s inventive high-tech magic has attracted substantial attention and fits well with audience tastes for spectacular, modern acts. The Messoudi Brothers’ knife-juggling routine has the kind of danger-and-skill combination that often secures viewer votes.
Austin Brown received mixed reviews following his Quarterfinal performance; based on the critical response and how voters reacted in the polls, his solo trajectory into the semi-finals seems less certain than it initially appeared. While he did earn a notable portion of the vote, the overall impression was that his stage presence and vocal performance did not match the stronger contenders this week.
