America’s Got Talenthas narrowed the field of hopefuls after weeks of audition rounds and one particularly emotional “Judge Cuts” week. Now, the acts and contestants that made it through are gearing up for the next stage of the competition.
The season 15 live shows kick off next month at Universal Studios in Hollywood, California, and will feature the 44 remaining contestants.
During the four weeks of the live, two-hour quarterfinal rounds, 11 acts will perform each episode, and fans will get a chance to vote for who they like the most. The results will be announced during a one-hour results special each Wednesday, with five acts moving on each week to the semifinals.
AGT revealed on Thursday the first set of contestants who will be trying to wow the voting audience, as well as the judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum.
Check out the performances from the first group of 11 hopefuls that got them into the quarterfinals this season.
