How the Competition Works
America’s Got Talent progresses through five main stages: taped auditions, judge‑cut rounds, live shows, the finale, and the grand prize announcement. After the initial audition, acts must win at least three "Yes" votes or receive a Golden Buzzer. The live rounds add audience voting, making each week a mix of performance and public choice.
Audition Process Explained
Auditions are held across the country and filmed over several weeks. Contestants present a brief performance to the judges, who decide instantly whether they will move on. A quick "X" from any judge stops the act, while a unanimous or Golden Buzzer gives them a spot in the next stage.
Golden Buzzer Moments
Each judge and the host can press the Golden Buzzer once per season to send an act directly to the live shows. The moment is often emotional, with judges offering brief comments before the act moves forward, creating instant fan favorites and buzz.
Live Show Rounds
Live shows feature 11 acts per week, with audience and online voting determining who stays. The judges give constructive feedback, and the public vote decides finalists. The tension rises as each week narrows the field to the ultimate champion.
Prize and Finale
The finale crowns a winner who receives $1 million and a headlining contract on the Las Vegas Strip. The finale includes a repeat of the finalist’s performance, judges’ reflections, and a live audience vote that finalizes the champion.
Who Judges the Talent
The panel blends music industry expertise and pop culture influence. Simon Cowell brings a global perspective, Heidi Klum offers fashion and performance insight, Howie Mandel adds humor, and Sofia Vergara provides a relatable, supportive viewpoint. Their combined critiques shape the show’s dynamic.
