The 11 Acts Performing Tonight in AGT 20's First Live Show (August 19)
Drumroll please... Live Shows begin tonight! After months of Auditions, America's Got Talent Season 20 enters the Quarterfinals phase as the first batch of 11 Acts take the stage to battle it out for your votes, and one lucky Act will receive a coveted Live Golden Buzzer, sending them straight to the Finals. Judges Howie Mandel, Mel B., Sofía Vergara and Simon Cowell will offer their thoughts and reactions, but it'll be up to you, the viewers of America, to vote decide who stays in and who goes home, and you won't have to wait long to find out. The results show is tomorrow, August 19, where Host Terry Crews will reveal — live! — which Acts have been eliminated from the competition. Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBC to see the following Acts compete live, and be sure to cast your vote on or via the NBC or AGT apps. RELATED: How to Vote for Your Favorite Acts on Season 20 These are the Acts you're going to see on the AGT stage competing live for your votes on Tuesday, August 19 2025 in the America's Got Talent Season 20 Quarterfinals. LightWire Act: Dance and light-up art Founded in Brazil by two brothers, LightWire combined LED displays and light-up dance suits to create unique works of art unlike anything seen before on the AGT stage. It truly puts the spectacle in spectacular. Charity Lockhart Act: Singer The mother of two told the heartfelt story of how, after getting divorced, she and her kids slept in their car, and it was only thanks to the money she won from a singing competition that they were able to move into an apartment. For her Audition, Lockhart performed "Golden Slumbers" by The Beatles, an apt choice, as it earned not just applause from the audience and Judges, but a Golden Buzzer from Mel B! Jourdan Blue Act: Singer 23-year-old New Orleans street performer Jourdan Blue put it all on the line for his big shot. Blue sang a rendition of "Breakeven" by The Script that had the audience and Judges on their feet, demonstrating his unique timbre and impressive range. Shuler King Act: Comedian The North Carolina native cracked up Mandel backstage, riffing off Cowell's favorite saying — "two minutes could change your life" — by quipping, "two minutes is how I got my kids." His on-stage Act was about his day job as a mortician. Who knew death could be so funny? Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras Act: Music Unabashedly a cover band, the group performed a spirited rendition of A-Ha's "Take on Me," led by a singer you may recognize from The Traitors or Vanderpump Rules. Bay Melnick Virgolino Act: Music At just 10 years old, Virgolino is clearly a guitar prodigy, absolutely shredding his way through Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way." RELATED: Every Celebrity Judge and Host on Since Season 1 Loco Pop Familia Act: Dance The dance group, dressed in cat costumes, entered and exited the stage by crawling on all fours. They performed a high-energy dance routine to a song from Japanese cat memes (the actual song is in Spanish), then crawled off the stage. CitiLimitz Act: Singers The three brothers — two of whom are 20-year-old-twins — performed K-Ci and JoJo's "All My Life," and dedicated their silky smooth harmonies to Mel B. Their stated goal is to bring back the "love" in music. Phobias Act: Magic This group may dress like scary clowns, but it's all part of the motif to better sell their magic Act, which includes misdirection and jump scares. Sirca Marea Act: Aerial acrobatics This married couple from Barcelona absolutely blew the Judges away with their hand-to-hand stunts from a ledge suspended high above the stage, flipping and swinging around. B Unique Crew Act: Dance A dance crew from India that's dreamed of coming to America since they were young and incorporated screens and sound effects into their unique and perfectly synchronized Act.

Of Notoriety: Wind Creek Casino talent competition finalists in the spotlight Saturday
Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland share many marquee name talents first discovered as winners of local competitions as well as often an additional publicity catapult for casting on a TV reality show with finalist status. In 2006, Stellar Road, a band from Orland Park, won the 'Have a Nice Gig' competition sponsored by Saturn and General Motors to open for Bon Jovi and Nickelback at Soldier Field for their July 21 concert. Then in 2010, Des Plaines band 7th Heaven won a similar local talent contest titled 'Bon Jovi Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight' and was selected from more than 600 bands, earning the top prize to be the opening act for Bon Jovi at the July 30, 2010, concert at Chicago's Soldier Field. Stand-up comic Ryan Niemiller of DeMotte and a 2000 graduate of Kankakee Valley High School was 36 when he auditioned and was selected to compete in Season 14 of 'America's Got Talent' in 2019 and finished in third place. At age 24, Amy Davis, a 2000 graduate of Lowell High School and one of the six children of Barry and Jeanette Davis of Cedar Lake, captured the attention of hard-to-please judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell in 2008 for Season 7 of 'American Idol' with her audition performance of 'Blue Bayou,' the ballad written by the late Roy Orbison and made famous by Linda Ronstadt. As part of the coveted final 24 contestants selected from more than 100,000 hopefuls, TV viewers watched week after week until her elimination following her performance of Connie Francis' 'Where the Boys Are.' Mom Marci Crozier and daughter Courtney of Valparaiso were selected from thousands of entrants to compete against 10 other teams in 2011 in Season 4 of NBC's 'The Biggest Loser.' Marci's starting weight was 238 pounds and Courtney originally weighed 323 pounds, and the two proved popular with ratings and viewers. Each lost nearly 100 pounds in just 14 weeks during the show run. This summer's hot new ticket for the fast-track to stardom is being hosted by Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino and Hotel in East Hazel Crest. The 'Sing Your Way to $100K' already had its previous rounds of auditions and eliminations last month and is now down to its final round. All Northwest Indiana hopefuls are off the roster and only Chicago suburban talent remains for the live Grand Finale on Aug. 23 that promises to be one of the Southland's most inspiring nights of the year. Billed as 'a launchpad for local voices to chase real dreams, on a real stage, for real money,' the winner will walk away with what could be a career-changing $100,000 as funds to be used to make record albums, book studio time and finally take the next leap into a music career. In addition to the winner, five others will win prizes from $7,500 to $25,000. The 12 finalists are Tremel Hoover of Lansing, Illinois, Jadon Smith of Homewood, Illinois, Marian Edwards of Matteson, Illinois, Arvell Grandberry of Harvey, Illinois, and Kennedy Rush of South Holland, along with Jason Warrior, Kristen Lowe, James Reed, Catherine Townsend, Ashley Dozier, Josyln Robinson and Vee Armstrong, all of Chicago. The contest was open to solo vocalists age 21 and older and free to enter. At 7 p.m. Saturday on the 'Radiant Gem Stage,' contestants will perform live before audiences and a panel of Chicago radio and media personalities, including WGCI's Leon Rogers, Tone Kapone, Zach Boog, and Keke Hampton; KISS FM's Paulina Roe; B96 and 104.3 Jams' Moug; 104.3 Jams hosts Jen BT and Sean 'Sonic' Leckie; Qué Buena's Johnny 'Perro' Orta; and Amor 106.7's Vicky Aguilera. 'Chicago's artistic legacy runs deep, from its music and theater to the everyday voices that shape its neighborhoods,' said Roger Kuehn, executive vice president and general manager of Wind Creek Chicago Southland. 'Sing Your Way to $100K is our way of honoring that spirit by giving local talent a stage and a moment to shine. As the newest resort in the region, we're proud to build a home for entertainment that feels both elevated and rooted in the community we serve.'
