‘AGT’ Results Recap: Who Are the Top 10 Finalists for Season 20?
[WARNING: This post contains MAJOR spoilers from the America’s Got Talent Season 20 Semifinals.]
America’s Got Talent Season 20 is officially winding down, and after the Wednesday, September 17, results show, we officially know the Top 10 acts who will be performing in the 2025 finale. Terry Crews announced the results following this week’s Semifinals performances.
Even before the episode, we already knew four acts who would be moving onto the Finals because they received the Quarterfinal Golden Buzzers. During each round of Quarterfinal competition, one act was chosen to automatically make the Finals. All four judges (Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Mel B) had one Golden Buzzer to use in the Quarterfinals, which meant that four acts got to skip the Semifinal round completely.
Those four acts were: Steve Ray Ladson, Mama Duke, Micah Palace, and Team Recycled.
Three additional acts from all four Quarterfinal nights advanced to the Semifinals. However, only 11 acts ended up performing in Tuesday’s Semifinals, as Mastermind decided to drop out of the competition for “personal reasons.”
The fate of those 11 acts was left in America’s hands, and Crews announced which six received the most votes to advance to the Finals. They are: Jessica Sanchez, Chris Turner, Sirca Marea, Light Wire, Jourdan Blue, and Leo High School Choir.
The means the eliminated acts are: Bay Melnick Virgolino, TT Boys, Zak Mirz, Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir, and Unreal Crew.
Now, 10 finalists are vying for the chance to win it all. They’ll all perform once again during the live Finals on Tuesday, September 23 (NOTE: the show starts at 9/8c, instead of the usual 8/7c time). America will once again be in control of what happens next, as the winner will be determined by who receives the most votes. The show’s newest champion will be announced during the grand finale on Wednesday, September 24.

I don't have a huge preference ATM, but I sure am glad the 10-year-old is gone! AGT, please, please, PRETTY PLEASE, create an AGT Kids show so that acts 16 & under aren't on the standard AGT show!

The TT Boys were ROBBED, hands down. How can such an incredible act get eliminated from the finals when the audience and judges (including Howie, in retrospect) all agreed they should have received the golden buzzer? It seems only fair that AGT open up a spot for the TT Boys in the finals. Why not have 11 acts compete? All the other live shows did. The TT Boys deserve to be there more than any other eliminated act, especially given how vocal the crowd was about them receiving the golden buzzer. A place in the finals is rightfully theirs! So come on, AGT, bring the TT Boys back!

There were only six spots. So, which act would you had left out to insert the TT Boys in the final group?

I get fed up and think the show is set up. With the TT Boys out of the completion, that is 3 acts who did DEATH DEFYING routines, however, did not make it through their rounds while children's choirs, and 10-year-old did. I mean is a 10-year-old (albeit VERY talented) as well as the large choirs going to be top VEGAS acts? Is the 10-year-old going to quit school and become a VEGAS sensation? I think it is stupid. And the diversity is also unfair. It is very much racially biased. It is so obvious. Terry builds up certain races as does Mel B.

I am in agreement with others that have posted. The TT Boys were robbed. There is definitely a racial bias. The show focuses too much on backstory rather than talent...(which TALENT is in the name of the show, is it not?). I boys choir is OK....but there is a choir like that at most every high school. That is not exceptional talent like the TT Boys.

Its not about the performance. It's about the performers story rather than the performance

I do not know who is voting but they are horrible. Please get rid of all the extra buzzers. Yes no one under 16. Get a special show for them . They take a spot from the talented

Hey, that 10 y.o. boy is extremely talented and gave a great rendition of the song with admirable stage presence. He deserved his spot very well.

Nobody is or has been robbed. Those who say that the TT Boys were robbed, please tell here which act you would have left out of the finals. Of course, at this point all comes out to the preference of the public measured by votes. In my opinion, Jessica Sanchez should win it all with her exceptional qualities, but I understand that there will be others with a different opinion. On the other hand... yes, there are judges and... judges. I wonder what qualifies Howie to determine what is a good song choice... what he likes? I certainly think that he is the most unqualified judge in this competition.
