How will voting work for America’s Got Talent: All Stars?
Each week 10 Acts from the 60 listed above will perform for the judges for the chance to earn one of the coveted five Golden Buzzers, which will take them directly to the finals. The AGT Superfans will also vote on an additional act to move onto the finals. Following the final performances, the superfans will vote again on the 11 finalists to choose the winner, which will be revealed in the two-hour finale
What does the Golden Buzzer mean on America's Got Talent: All Stars?
We all love those emotional Golden Buzzer moments when one of the judges (Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara) or host Terry Crews is so moved by a performance that they press the Golden Buzzer, confetti streams down, and that act is sent directly to the live shows. Each of the judges and Terry only gets to use the Golden Buzzer one time each season and that takes place during the initial audition period.
We have gotten so used to the Golden Buzzer, but it wasn't initially a part of America's Got Talent. In fact, it wasn't introduced until Season 10. But it has proven how good a judge of talent our judges and host are. Six out of the eight AGT winners since its introduction—Paul Zerdin, Grace VanderWaal, Darci Lynne, Kodi Lee, Brandon Leake, and the Mayya —were Golden Buzzers. The two exceptions were Shin Lim and Dustin Tavella.
AGT: All-Stars Golden Buzzers
Week 1: Light Balance Kids
Judge Howie Mandel is helping Light Balance Kids achieve that win by selecting them as his Golden Buzzer, which sends them straight through to the finale.
“You’ve always been one of my favorite acts that I’ve seen in the history of America’s Got Talent,” Howie told them after their performance. “There’s such an amazing message here. Where you come from is arguably the darkest place in the world and you come to bring us light. If I can do anything on behalf of America, on behalf of AGT: All-Stars, to bring you more light than you bring us, I’d like to do that for you.”
Week 2: Detroit Youth Choir
For the second time, Terry Crews selected the Detroit Youth Choir as his Golden Buzzer. The previous time was in Season 14 when the choir finished in second place to Kodi Lee.
“Yo! Yo! Yo! We don’t need to go to the Superfans' vote on this one," Terry said. "Mr. White, you have changed the lives of thousands of young men and women. For what you have done for the city of Detroit, for what you have done in this world, one Golden Buzzer is not enough”
Week 3: Mike E. Winfield
The third week was the charm for comic Mike E. Winfield, who after working on his comedy career for almost 20 years, was selected as Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer in the All-Stars competition.
“If you had done that routine in the finals, it might have been a completely different story because you’ve come back funnier, more confident, I can even see it in your eyes how much this means to you right now,” Simon told him about his performance in Season 17. “You know what, Mike? I love, love, love people who compete. I wasn’t expecting to do this, but I’m going to do it.”
Week 4: Aidan McCann
Heidi picked the fourth Golden Buzzer of the season when she was impressed by the magic of 13-year-old magician Aidan McCann from Dublin, Ireland.
“I don’t know how you did it,” she told him. “You’re incredible. I love the magic, but really it’s you who are the magic. You really are. I think you’re such a little star. You sparkle. What does my head think?”
And so saying, she hit the Golden Buzzer
