The three acts who received the most home viewer votes and will compete in the semifinals are Jessica, A.I. magician Mastermind, and freestyle rapper Chris Turner.
Jessica who had made it to the semifinals of America's Got Talent's first season in 2006 and then competed in American Idol's Season 11 finale in 2012. The singer had finished American Idol as the runner-up.
Those three acts will join rapper Micah Palace, who had performed "Rodeo" and received America's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer during Tuesday night's performance show.
"I really like you. I think that was such a clever song, the World Cup is coming, and maybe that should be the anthem! What color is the World Cup?" Simon asked the artist as he hit his Golden Buzzer.
The Golden Buzzer allows Micah Palace to skip the semifinals completely and advance straight to the finals.
On Tuesday night's performance show, the third group of 11 quarterfinalist acts had taken the stage for Simon and his fellow America's Got Talent judges Melanie "Mel B" Brown, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara.

Based on the voting results, the Top 5 acts were Jessica, Chris Turner, Mastermind, Jacqueline & Wagner, and the Messoudi Brothers.
On Wednesday night's results show, Terry announced the highest votegetters and the eliminations in groups of two acts at a time.
