Evie Clair
Johnny Manuel
Light Balance
Mandy Harvey
Merrick Hanna
Mirror Image
Pompeyo Family Dogs
The Masqueraders
Tonight, only 7 acts will make it through and we will be updating this post live with the results. Based on viewers’ votes, five acts will automatically go through tonight. Then, one more act will be voted through via real-time voting this evening, followed by a judges’ pick.
The show began with a recap of last night’s performances and behind-the-scenes footage. Tonight, singer Evie Clair, musical trio The Masqueraders and magician Eric Jones are each eligible for the Dunkin’ Save tonight.
Next, Brobots & Mandroidz were announced as being up against Light Balance. So, which dance group did America keep in the game? Going into the semi-finals was Light Balance. Next up was singer Mandy Harvey and The Pompeyo Family Dogs, but it was Harvey who made it through to the next round. After a short circus performance, Johnny Manuel and Demian Atiya were on the chopping block. Last night, due to technical difficulties, Atiya’s escape performance failed. And so, singer Johnny Manuel made it through. Then, young singer Celine Tam, robotic dancer Merrick Hanna and dance duo Mirror Image were up for their results. And the next act voted into the semi-finals was revealed to be Celine Tam, followed by Merrick Hanna.
Next up was the Dunkin’ Save and the Judges’ Choice. And the Dunkin’ Save was able to keep singer Evie Clair. This left Eric Jones and The Masqueraders, but only one of them will move on in the competition. Heidi Klum’s vote was for The Masqueraders, Mel B chose Eric Jones, and Simon Cowell went with The Masqueraders. This left the last vote to Howie Mandel, who picked Eric Jones. Because of the tie, host Tyra Banks had to check with America’s votes and Eric Jones was revealed as moving on in the competition.
