Spoiler alert: This story contains significant details from Wednesday's "America's Got Talent" live-results show. "America's Got Talent" semifinals, here we come! NBC's popular reality competition closed its three-week quarterfinals round Wednesday, with seven acts advancing and five getting eliminated based on viewer votes and a judges' selection. On the live results show, three acts — danger act Aaron Crow, singer Daniel Emmet and dance group The Future Kingz — faced immediate pressure, as they were the candidates for the Dunkin' Save, which allows fans to vote during the show to save an act. The judges then get to save another act. Emmet won the first Dunkin' Save slot, based on viewer votes, with the judges picking Crow as their second save. The Future Kingz were eliminated.

It was a night of singers, too, including seven of the 11 acts that performed on Tuesday night. I took a bold stance and did not fill my Top 5 with singers, but is that what you did? You've proven year in and year out that you love your "AGT" singers, despite this being a show with unlimited variety and potential. Go watch "The Voice" or "American Idol" if you love singers so much! Okay, I'm sorry. I'm being harsh. Maybe you didn't do as badly as I thought you would going into this. There were only four acts that didn't involve singers and I chose three of them to advance. Sorry, Da Republik, when the kids at a first grade dance recital can perform more in sync than you did, it might be time for your journey to end. But they've got that sad sob story, you say. We've all got sob stories but I don't see you voting me into the finals. Anyway, let's get on with it and see how mad you made me tonight ... or if you've impressed me again with your brilliance by agreeing with my choices. Who do I think I am? you ask. Well, I spent nearly a decade of my life sweating and bleeding to the music as a dancer. From a young boy learning a shuffle-ball-change to performing with the St. Louis Ballet Company, I experienced the ups and downs of one of the most difficult physically demanding sports on the planet. During this time, I was also a member of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, as well as a gymnast, writer and cartoonist. I had a lot more energy in my younger years. And I've spent the last sixteen years analyzing and critiquing reality competition shows for various media publications. I've got this. BTS In a departure from previous weeks, the show didn't kick off with the ridiculous "Dunkin' Save." Instead, BTS performed right out of the gate, which had me a little suspicious that their performance was pre-taped. How can this mean as much if I know those girls aren't screaming right now? Those screams have already echoed throughout the theater and faded into nothingness. I do, however, believe that this was them performing live because they ... did not sound good as this thing started. I'm not sure this performance would have gotten past Simon in the first round. I don't think their fans could hear anything over their own screaming, though, so it's okay. They still cute and it did get better by the end. "Lookalike" Heidi The show had some fun with fans on Hollywood Blvd. by having lookalikes of the four "AGT" judges. Well, actually, only three of them were lookalikes. Heidi Klum was the real deal, only she was totally pretending she wasn't. "Oh my God, you look so much like her," said one fan when Heidi turned to look at her. She had a lot of fun putting on an American accent and tormenting the show's fans. It was a cute segment, inasmuch as these time fillers can be entertaining, though probably more of a thrill for those fans than the acts waiting to find out their fate tonight. A Magical Cirque Christmas Cirque du Soleil offers up some of the most mesmerizing and mind-blowing acrobatic stuts on the planet, so what the hell was this mess? There was nothing Christmas about it, and not a single one of the four acts did anything exciting. It's like we got Cirque du Substitutes instead of the real performers. And if this was supposed to encourage people to buy tickets to their show, they may have just convinced those who already have to try and unload those bad boys. Dunkin' Save Have I mentioned that I hate this manipulative, overwrought game by the show to torment more acts through an already tense evening. If the Top 5 are going through, why can't the Top 5 go through? No, we need the fourth, fifth and sixth place acts to all battle it out again during this live show. It's a slap into the face to the original voters on Tuesday night and an act of cruelty to all three acts. Tonight, the three acts made to suffer were Daniel Emmet, Glennis Grace and We Three. But for real, America? You do know Glennis gave the best vocal performance of any semifinalist this season, right? How are you gonna put my top pick in danger like this? I can see we're gonna fight tonight. Results Tyra Banks then singled out Aaron Crow, Vicki Barbolak and Da Republik, and as two of them were in my Top 5, this wasn't a great development. I totally agree Vicki Barbolak deserves her spot, but how can you deny Aaron the chance to torment the judges again. It's gonna be more singers, isn't it? Vicki's totally gonna get that Denny's date with Simon now. Next, it was the moment of truth for Noah Guthrie, Courtney Hadwin and Christina Wells. I only had one in my Top 5, and you didn't let me down this time, sending the deserving Courtney Hadwin on to the finals. And then it was down to Angel City Chorale and Brian King Joseph and once again, you came through for me. Brian King Joseph rocked the house last night and deserves this chance. Maybe we're not gonna fight too much, after all. Boy, you had me going there for a bit! Finally, we got to t he Dunkin' Save trio, and America redeemed themselves for not automatically putting Glennis Grace through Tuesday night by sending her on tonight. Out of We Three and Daniel Emmet, though, it was more of a toss-up what the judges would do. I had Daniel in sixth, while I thought We Three faltered more this round. Ultimately, the judges agreed and Daniel Emmet made his way into the finals. So once again, five of my top six acts advanced, and I guess I owe you another apology, America. Maybe you're just too sensitive for what Aaron does. You did boot The Sacred Riana, as well. I just hope they don't show up at your house to tell them how they feel about it. It all ends next week with the two-night "America's Got Talent" finale, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Got a story or a tip for us? Email TooFab editors at tips@toofab.com.<doc-sep>
BTS opened up the live results show tonight on America’s Got Talent. Part 2 of the semi finals were last night and only 5 acts will make it through to the finals from last night’s show. Eleven acts performed and fans are waiting to see who will move on in the competition. Read on for the live recap of what went down below. Before getting into the results, AGT showed a video recap of last night’s performances, along with some behind-the-scenes footage. The acts in the 4th, 5th and 6th place, up for the Dunkin’ Save vote tonight were … opera singer Daniel Emmet, singer Glennis Grace and the band We Three. Next week is the finals, so America’s votes are truly important. Upon hearing the three acts in jeopardy, judge Mel B said that she was shocked and as the votes began to pour in, Glennis Grace was leading with the votes. Daredevil mentalist Aaron Crow, comedienne Vicki Barbolak and dance group Da Republik were the next acts to find out their fates on the show. Da Republik got buzzed by judge Simon Cowell last night. Vicki Barbolak was announced as going through to the finals first. Cowell joked that he has a crush on Barbolak and he said that he is “absolutely thrilled” to have Barbolak in the finals. The next ones to get their results tonight were singers Christina Wells, Courtney Hadwin, and Noah Guthrie. And, the contestant going through was Courtney Hadwin, who has been a favorite this season. Hadwin received the golden buzzer this season from judge Howie Mandel and started crying when hearing that she made it through to the finals. She cried, saying she really didn’t think she was going to make it past night. Howie Mandel was beyond excited and said he could “smell a million dollars”. Hadwin continued to cry and thanked her father for believing in her, as he waited for her backstage. Angel City Chorale choir and electric violinist Brian King Joseph were next to find out their fates on the show. And, the act going through was announced to be … Brian King Joseph. Upon hearing the news, Joseph dropped to his knees and said that he can’t believe how America has given him a chance to do what he wants to do with his life. Judge Heidi Klum gushed over Joseph as host Tyra Banks gave him congratulatory hugs. Finally, it was time to find out the results of the live Dunkin’ Save. Only one of the three acts would be put through by America. And, it was Glennis Grace who was saved. Now it was time for the judges to vote through either Daniel Emmet or We Three. Simon Cowell was the first to reveal his vote and he went with Emmet. Next, judge Heidi Klum also chose Emmet. Mel B then voted for We Three, which left Howie Mandel to either put Emmet through or create a tie. Mandel, who said he wasn’t thrilled with either of the acts’ performances last night, went with Emmet. Next week, the top 10 compete in the finals, but there can only be one winner.
