The three acts who received the most home viewer votes and will compete in the semifinals are Korean dance group Come Here, magician Geno Ploeger, and acrobat and aerialist Veronika Goroshkova.
Those three acts will join 16-year-old heavy metal singer, Nene Royal, who had received America's Got Talent judge Melanie "Mel B" Brown's Golden Buzzer during Tuesday night's performance show.
The Golden Buzzer allows Nene Royal to skip the semifinals completely and advance straight to the finals.
