America’s Got Talent 2023 Qualifiers 3 poll results and prediction – Which TWO acts will advance?
America’s Got Talent season 18 aired its third live results show on September 6. This phase of the competition is part of a six-week live run that follows the initial auditions and narrows the field to the finalists who will compete for the top prize: $1 million and a headlining residency in Las Vegas. The live rounds showcase a mix of singers, dancers, musicians, variety acts and novelty performers, with only a limited number advancing each week.
The show’s live format this season gives the power directly to the viewing audience. As in the previous season’s format change, only TWO acts from each qualifier advance based solely on America’s Vote. The four judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara — no longer decide who moves forward during these live qualifier rounds. That shift places increased emphasis on fan engagement and voting behavior during and immediately after each live broadcast.
Fans have been actively voting in our viewer polls after each qualifier. The results for Qualifiers 3 show a clear favorite and a competitive race for the second slot. Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer recipient, singer Putri Ariani, dominated the “favorite act” poll, taking a majority share of support. The dance ensemble Warrior Squad followed as a distant second in the favorites tally, but performed strongly in the “which two acts will advance” poll where voters could select two choices.
Prediction
Based on the poll trends and how audiences responded during the broadcast, the safest projection is that the two acts with the strongest combined viewer support will advance: Putri Ariani and Warrior Squad. Putri’s clear lead in the favorites poll indicates broad appeal that typically translates into a large share of votes. Warrior Squad’s higher placement in the two-choice poll suggests they captured enough of the voting audience’s second-choice preferences to secure the final qualifying spot this week. Given that viewers have accurately predicted outcomes in earlier qualifiers, this projection aligns with established patterns from season 18.
Advancing to the next stage means both acts will move on to compete in later live shows and remain contenders for the season’s grand prize. For other talented performers who did not secure one of the top two spots tonight, strong showings can still build momentum and fan interest that may pay off in future seasons or professional opportunities outside the competition.

Which Two Acts WILL Advance?

- Warrior Squad – Dance group – 20.12%
- Mzansi Youth Choir – Choir – Audience Golden Buzzer – 10.50%

The poll results highlight how a standout solo performer like Putri Ariani can command a majority of viewer support, while ensemble acts such as Warrior Squad benefit from dedicated fan bases and visual appeal that translate well into vote totals when multiple selections are allowed. Choirs and specialty acts also showed solid backing but trailed the top two in voter preference this week.
As the live rounds continue, momentum, social media engagement and performance night impressions will remain crucial. Fans should expect the competition to tighten in the coming weeks as remaining contestants vie for those limited finalist slots and the chance to headline in Las Vegas.
