AGT 2025: Which three acts will advance to the semi-final? Vote for your favorite act
America’s Got Talent 2025 live shows returned on Tuesday, August 19 after a one-week break for a 20th Anniversary special. The quarterfinals are now underway, and this week’s episode set the stage for America’s votes to determine which acts will move on to the semi-final round.
As in the previous season, each judge had the opportunity to press a Golden Buzzer and send one act directly through to the finale. Judge Sofia Vergara used her Golden Buzzer on country singer Steve Ray Ladson, securing his straight path to the final. That leaves ten acts still competing for the three public-voted spots that will advance to a one-week semi-final showdown.
On the night many performances impressed both the judges and the audience. The highlights included B Unique Crew, Sirca Marea, Shuler King, Lightwire, and others who brought variety and strong stage presence. Several viewers felt Sofia Vergara’s Golden Buzzer pick might have been better used on Sirca Marea or Lightwire, given how memorable those performances were. Whether you agree or disagree, the important decision now rests with the public vote.
Below you’ll find simple, accessible voting sections where you can indicate which three acts you think should advance, name your single favorite performance of the night, and rate the season so far. Polls here are for fan engagement and discussion; official voting takes place through the show’s sanctioned channels. The official results will be revealed on Wednesday night, August 20 at 8:00 PM ET on NBC, with streaming availability the following day.
