Dutton, Abigail Dutton Wright, Dean Dutton, Joshua Dutton, and Shelia Dutton; as well as Jason Pritchett, a singer from Independence, MO.
Prior to last Tuesday night's broadcast of the second group of semifinalists performances, America's Got Talent had revealed that -- based on the votes viewers cast after the July 17 broadcast in which they had performed -- Robert Hatcher, a singer from Cincinnati, OH; Antoinette "Butterscotch" Clinton, a musician/beat-boxer from Davis, CA-native; The Glamanzons, a group of burlesque singers from Astoria, NY that consists of Lady Finger (Meryl Finger), Candy Apple (Sandy May), Ginger Snap (Sarah Orr), and Caramella (Laura Johnson); Julienne Irwin, a country singer from Bel Air, MD; and Sideswipe, a group of martial arts acrobats from Los Angeles, CA that consists of Chris Brewster, Craig Henningsen, Matt Mullins, and Jackson Spidell, had become the first five members of the show's Top 10.
"I have to be truthful... There's a couple of acts that went through that I would have never put through," America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne said once all Top 10 acts had been revealed. "But what do I know?"
After the remaining five members of America's Got Talent's Top 10 second season finalists were revealed during last night's broadcast, each had the chance to perform for home viewer votes.
During next week's America's Got Talent broadcast on Tuesday, August 7 at 8PM ET/PT, the Top 10 finalists will be whittled down to eight based on viewer votes cast after last night's episode. The Top 8 finalists will then take the stage and perform once again for viewer votes.
America's Got Talent is scheduled to air its live second-season finale over two weeks, beginning with a 90-minute performance episode on Tuesday, August 14 at 8PM ET/PT, with home viewers able to vote immediately following the broadcast. America's Got Talent's $1 million second-season winner will then be revealed on Tuesday, August 21 at 8PM ET/PT.
