"America's Got Talent" announced the third and last batch of acts who are advancing to next week's semifinals in the Wednesday, August 30 live results show. Twelve performed in the Tuesday show, but only seven would make it to the semifinals.
First to be announced safe was dance troupe Diavolo. Singer Kechi Okwuchi, who survived horrible plane crash as a teenager, followed next. They were joined by Simon Cowell's favorite Sara and Hero, DJ Khaled's Golden Buzzer winner Chase Goehring and subway singer Mike Yung.
Sadly, the judge's Wild Card, Final Draft, twerking dancer Oscar Hernandez and brother-sister dance duo Emily and Junior were eliminated. Mentalist Colin Cloud won the Dunkin' Save and was sent to semifinals.
It was left between Angelina Green and Greater Works who were vying for judges' votes. Melanie Brown a.k.a. Mel B gave her vote to Greater Works, Heidi Klum went with Golden Buzzer Angelina, Simon voted for Greater Works and so did Howie Mandel. Greater Works, thus, joined other acts in the semifinals, while Angelina was sent home.
These seven surviving acts join 14 other semifinalists. They include singers Celine Tam, Johnny Manuel, Evie Clair, dancer Merrick Hanna, magician Eric Jones, dance group Light Balance and singer-songwriter/ukulelist Mandy Harvey, who were announced in last week's live results show.
Singers Christian Guardino, Angelica Hale and Yoli Mayor, a cappella croup In The Stairwell, comedian Preacher Lawson, extreme rollerskating duo Billy & Emily England, and singing ventriloquist Darci Lynne were the first seven acts announced to enter the semifinals.
They will all compete in the live shows scheduled to air on September 5 and September 12, with the results announced on September 6 and 13.
