The quarterfinals of America’s Got Talent Season 19 continued on NBC this Tuesday & Wednesday evenings, with the second round of performances. The competition intensifies as acts aim to secure their place in the semi-finals. The nights featured a range of talented individuals and groups, but ultimately, two acts were eliminated. Here’s a recap of the results:
The Competition Heats Up
The judges—Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Sofía Vergara—had a challenging task ahead as diverse talents took the stage. Notable performances included:
– Brooke: Her singing skills were on display, but the judges, especially Howie and Simon, felt her song choice didn’t showcase her potential.
– Legión: This Argentine group impressed with their fiery hats routine, though it didn’t resonate as strongly with Howie and Simon as with the other judges and the audience.
– AIRFOOTWORKS: This act stood out, earning the Golden Buzzer from both Howie and Simon. Despite some debate over who pressed it first, the group is through to the finals, exciting the audience and their fellow contestants.
The Results
As the night progressed, the competition narrowed down to head-to-head matchups, with only three spots available. Acts that advanced from the previous night’s performances were revealed, leaving fan favorites at risk. The results:
– NiNi vs. Ashlee Montague: In a surprise, Taiwan’s rock goddess NiNi, who blended traditional instruments with modern rock, was eliminated in favor of Ashlee Montague.
– Schumacher vs. Alex Sampson: The energetic Schumacher couldn’t match the vocal prowess and charm of Alex Sampson, who advanced.
– Brooke vs. Bboy Samuka: Bboy Samuka’s dynamic performance won over the judges, sending Brooke home.
– Biko Manna vs. Young-Min: The adorable and vocally talented Biko Manna kids faced magician Young-Min. In a close call, Young-Min’s magic prevailed, securing his spot.
– Sky Elements vs. Legión: In a tough choice, Sky Elements’ drone show won over Legión’s fiery routine, marking the Argentine group’s exit.
