The next twelve performed on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT tonight hoping for that coveted chance to go to the sixth season semi-finals. A few brought their “A” game and some forgot to bring anything! The competition is heating up. This might be the hardest group to predict who is going through and who is going home. Most stepped up their acts, only a few faltered. It will be interesting to see what America chose as their top three, remember the judges get a pick as well. Shockingly Piers Morgan only buzzed three acts as opposed to his usual four. More shocking was that Howie Mandel buzzed two, having never buzzed anyone before at this level. Sharon Osbourne only buzzed one act. What did you think America? It’s in your hands.

The Kinetic King (novelty act)
Morgan: X How do you think it went?
Osbourne: Why didn’t you start it off?
Mandel: X Next time, don’t use glue.
Harland: His domino style act didn’t work which makes his whole appearance a bust.
Chances of getting through: Slim

Zuma Zuma (acrobatic dancers)
Morgan: That is exactly the kind of male pole dancing I enjoy.
Osbourne: I applaud you for changing it up.
