External links IMDb profile TV.com summary America's Got Talent is an American reality television series on the NBC television network. It is a talent show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised top prize of US$1 million. The show debuted in June 2006 for the summer television season. Starting in the third season, the Talent top prize included US$1 million and a show as the headliner on the Las Vegas strip. The show concept can be traced back to the British talent contest Opportunity Knocks, which started as a radio program in 1949 before moving to television in 1956.

  Among its significant features were that it gave an opportunity to talented amateurs or unknown performers, with the results decided by a public vote.[1] The format was sold by Simon Cowell after he originally produced the show that was to have been called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent [2] but was postponed from 2005 until 2007, and when it was eventually launched in 2007 it was called, "Britain's Got Talent" because Paul O'Grady defected from ITV to Channel 4. Unlike the British version, Cowell does not appear as a judge due to the conditions of his American Idol contract. America's Got Talent began airing season one in the United Kingdom on ITV2 on 22 June 2007, TV3 Ireland on July 2007 and in New Zealand on Prime Television on 9 July 2007. The third season premiered on June 17, 2008.

  A louder buzzer (the same one heard for "strikes" on Family Feud) indicates the third judge's button was pressed, and the contestant's performance is terminated. Then, the judges deliberate over the act and decide whether they pass over to the live semifinals. In the semifinals, the judges have X's and checks. Acts are divided into 4 groups of either 14 or 15, and only 10 of those acts in the group perform. They do not have the power to terminate an act in the middle of his/her performance. At the end of the performance, the judges give the act a check for approval, and an X if they did not like the act. At the end of the episode, the judges would pick an act and automatically move them through to the live finale. Then, the viewers at home would vote another act through to the finale, and that act would be announced in a live results show the next day. There was also a fifth wild card episode, where the judges picked ten acts who were previously eliminated and give them one more chance to perform. In the finale, there is no judges' choice, and the voting is entirely handed over to the viewers. Season 2 Process The Audition process for the second season is very similar to that of the first, except that only a buzzer sounds when the X is pressed. When all the judges X's have been pressed, a lonely blue spotlight centers on the act, indicating they've been struck out. Unlike the previous season, the acts who pass the auditions then attend a Las Vegas bootcamp, where they have a chance to perfect their craft. At this point, acts are divided into 2 groups, music, and variety. The music acts consist of singers and instrument players. The variety group consists of other acts. The music acts performs first, followed by the variety acts. Each act will perform for 3 minutes, and their performance will not be terminated, as the judges have no buttons to press. After each group has finished, the judges will split the groups into lines, either a yes line, or a no line. The ones who the judges said yes to will go to the short list of 35 acts. The acts which the judges have said no to will go home. After that, the judges will cut the short list of 35 to 20 final acts. In the semifinal episodes, the 20 acts will be first split into 2 groups of 10. America will vote and eliminate 5 out of the first group, then 5 out of the second. The remaining 10 will perform head to head in the next round, where the field will be narrowed each week until there are four, which the viewing audience at home votes on. In the second season, the judges may terminate a performance any time they want with an X. The checks are eliminated from the game and the judges may only have comments. There is no judges' choice in this season, as the voting is entirely handed over to the viewers. Season 3 Process Season 3 is similar to Season 2 in the audition process, except that the auditions are held in large theaters across the nation, there are three more audition episodes, and two more audition sites. The Las Vegas bootcamp continues, but they are divided into more groups, such as ventriloquists, impersonators, male singers, female singers, opera, instrumental music, bands, and other variety acts. There are forty acts that pass through, instead of twenty. The semifinal process consists of shows on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Ten of the top forty acts perform each of the two nights for two weeks. Four are eliminated each week by public vote. However, the contestants that come in fifth or sixth place must face the judges' decision. The panel will eliminate the act they wish not to put through. Afterward, the Top 20 is formed from the Top 40. Following the Top 20, the American viewing audience will eliminate ten acts from this group, creating a Top 10. The Top 10 then perform and a Top 5 is formed after the American viewing audience votes.
  
  
  The rest of the process is still unknown. In Season 3, when all three judges pressed their X's to terminate a performance in the semifinals, the act is allowed to continue, but must end it early. Season 1 Main article: America's Got Talent (season 1) In June 2006, NBC announced the new show. The audition tour took place in June. Auditions were held in the following locations: Los Angeles, California, New York City, New York, Chicago, Illinois, and Atlanta, Georgia. Some early ads for the show implied that the winning act would also headline a show at a casino, possibly in Las Vegas; however, this was replaced with $1,000,000 due to concerns of minors playing in Las Vegas, should one become a champion. More than 12 million viewers watched the season premiere (which is more than American Idol got during its premiere back in 2002). The two-hour broadcast was the night's most-watched program on U.S. television and the highest-rated among viewers aged 18 to 49 (the prime-time audience that matters most to advertisers), Nielsen Media Research reported.[3]. On the season finale, there was an unaired segment that was scheduled to appear after Aly and AJ. The segment featured Tom Green dressing in a parrot costume, and squawking with a live parrot, to communicate telepathically. Green then proceeded to fly up above the audience, shooting confetti streamers out of his costume onto the crowd below. In season one, the show was hosted by Regis Philbin and judged by actor David Hasselhoff, singer Brandy, and journalist Piers Morgan. Winner Bianca Ryan (Viewers' choice, July 27): An 11 year old singer. Other finalists Top Three The runners-up each won a Dodge Caliber. Taylor Ware (Viewers' choice, July 13): An 11 year old yodelist. Celtic Spring (Viewers' choice, August 3): A family Irish step dancing/fiddling act. Top Five The Millers (Judges' choice, July 12): A musical group consisting of two brothers. Cole, age 20, plays guitar, and L.D., age 12, plays harmonica. All That (Judges' choice, August 9): A clogging ensemble. Finalists Realis (Judges' choice, July 20): An acrobatics mixed pair performing hand-to-hand balancing and releases. At Last (Viewers' choice, July 20): An a cappella act, performing R&B songs with a hip hop beat. Rappin' Granny (real name: Vivian Smallwood) (Judges' choice, July 26): A 73 year old rapper. The Passing Zone (Judges' choice, August 2): A comedy/juggling act. Quick Change (Viewers' choice, August 10): Clothes-changing magic act. Season 2 Main article: America's Got Talent (season 2) After initially announcing in May 2006 that the second season of America's Got Talent would debut in January 2007 at 8 PM on Sunday nights, with no separate results show, the network has changed its mind and pushed the show back to the summer, where the first season had great success. This move will keep the show out of direct competition with American Idol, which has a similar premise and is more popular. In AGT's place, another reality-based talent show, Grease: You're The One That I Want, began airing on Sunday nights in the same timeslot on NBC beginning in January.[4] In March 2007, NBC announced Jerry Springer as host,[5] with Sharon Osbourne (already a judge on Cowell's UK show The X Factor) succeeding Brandy as a judge. This means the show, ironically, has two British judges and one American one. The second season has no results show, replaced by results on the performance show night instead; in addition, each Tuesday broadcast was repeated (along with The Singing Bee episode that followed the 90-minute editions of AGT) by NBC the following Saturday. The finale of the season was shown Tuesday, August 21, 2007, and the results are shown below: Winner Terry Fator - ventriloquist/impressionist/singer from Mesquite, Texas. Other finalists Final Four Cas Haley - singer/guitarist from Arlington, Texas. Second place. Butterscotch - beatboxer/singer from Davis, California. Third place. Julienne Irwin - 14-year old singer from Bel Air, Harford County, Maryland. Fourth place. Final Eight Jason Pritchett - singer/guitar player from Independence, Missouri. Top 8 contestant. The Glamazons - group of plus-sized female burlesque singers. Top 8 contestant. Robert Hatcher - singer from Cincinnati, Ohio. Top 8 contestant. Sideswipe - Martial Arts group; made an appearance in Season 1. Top 8 contestant. Top Ten The Calypso Tumblers - tumbling act. Top 10 contestant. The Duttons - family band. Top 10 contestant. Season 3 Main article: America's Got Talent (season 3) NBC announced in August 2007 that the network had renewed the show for a third season. Auditions took place in Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago from January to April. A televised MySpace audition also took place. Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff returned as judges. Jerry Springer also returned as host. The show premiered on June 17, 2008. It will also be shown in the United Kingdom on ITV2. Unlike Season 2, Talent became a substantially larger reality competition in Season 3, with seven weeks of auditions, compared to the four weeks of auditions in the previous seasons. Also, the auditions are held in well-known theaters across the nation, unlike last year. A substantial change is the new title card, which features the American flag as background. The X's match the ones on Britain's Got Talent, or they have been borrowed for this season. Like last season, the Las Vegas callbacks continue, but there will be forty acts selected to compete in the live rounds, instead of twenty. The show took a hiatus for two and a half weeks for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but returned with the live rounds August 26, 2008. Las Vegas Wildcard A member of the Russian Bar Trio, one of the top forty final acts, was injured, resulting in the withdrawal of the act from the competition. The judges selected eight acts that the American viewing public decided on at NBC.com. The winner of the Wildcard was Donald Braswell II. Season 4 NBC has announced that America's Got Talent has been renewed for a fourth season. Ratings The performance shows are rated TV-PG and the results shows are rated TV-14. Ever since the show first aired in 2006, its ratings have outpaced every other broadcast of the night, and occasionally, of the week. Regular TV audiences often total an average of 10 million a night, giving NBC an average 6.0/10 rating every Tuesday, higher than that of CBS, ABC, and FOX. Total ratings have exceeded by over one million viewers those of FOX's hit reality show, So You Think You Can Dance, which airs on Wednesday. In 2007, the show was the summer's most watched TV program, averaging 12.0 million viewers per night on its second season[citation needed]. In the third season of Talent, average viewers rose to over 13 million, and its rating to around a 7.9/13, Nielsen Media Research reported, again making it the number one show for summer of 2008. The highest rated episode of the third season (to date) was the Myspace auditions with 8.1/13 and 13.85 million viewers. Judging styles The judging styles of the judges on Talent are loosely mirroring those of American Idol. In the first season, Morgan was usually the first to hit the buzzer, followed by Brandy, and then Hasselhoff. Morgan criticized audition acts he thought to be bad, while Brandy and Hasselhoff usually said yes. In Season 1, the judges sometimes pressed each other's buzzers. In Season 2, when Sharon Osbourne replaced Brandy on the panel, she became the last one to press the buzzer, while Hasselhoff had more occasional outbursts. In Season 3, although the judging panel stayed the same, Hasselhoff pressed his buzzer much earlier than in previous seasons, sometimes hitting the buzzer faster than Morgan. Throughout all the seasons of Talent, Morgan has been the most consistent at being the quickest to the buzzer, and more abrasive than the rest of the panel. Unlike Simon Cowell of Idol, he is more harsh toward family acts, as seen with Celtic Spring of Season 1, The Duttons of Season 2, and possibly, The Taubl Family of Season 3. A highly controversial moment in Season 1 occurred when Morgan criticized Quick Change, a clothes changing act, telling them they were deaf and dumb in not changing their act. In Seasons 2 and 3, however, none of this has happened. In Season 3, during the live performances, Osbourne usually presses her X faster than Hasselhoff.

Brandy described the men as worthy of their title and Hasselhoff thought they were "up front", but Morgan didn't like their ripped-jeans-and-Tee-shirts look. Leonid the Magnificent from Russia; a tall, flamboyant Adonis with angel's wings, who balanced a sword tip to tip on a sword held in his mouth. He was noticeably nervous, dropped the sword during his first try, and was rejected. Later in the show, Brandy asked him to be brought back. Leonid cried and said he was on the show to make his dream come true. Elliot Zimet, a magician that made doves and a parrot appear in a more exciting and cool fashion. Piers said that he usually finds dove acts excrutiatingly boring, but that Zimet had managed to make it interesting, and all the judges agreed to put him through. Corina Brouder, a young Irish woman who played a harp while singing; the judges said that she and her voice were beautiful, and agreed to put her through. Dave Smith, a contortionist and musician who sang and played the song "Bend Me, Shape Me" on his guitar while his legs were wrapped behind his head. He amused Morgan and he wanted to see what other crazy stuff Dave could do. PBM, A rock band from Detroit, came on stage with hopes of dazzling the judges and the audience. Their music was a combination of rock and reggae, also known as ska or ska-punk. Morgan liked the band’s energy but wasn’t a big fan of the lead singer. Hasselhoff and Brandy wanted the band to come back. Brandy challenged PBM to prove Morgan wrong the next time they hit the stage. Michelle L'amour, dressed as Snow White, performed a burlesque striptease for the judges. This infuriated Brandy, who vigorously pushed Hasselhoff and Morgan's strike buttons. The two male judges enthusiastically gave their approvals for her to go on to the next round. Bianca Ryan, an 11-year old from Philadelphia, belted out the Jennifer Holliday song "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls. Brandy gave Bianca a standing ovation and called her "my favorite contestant in this competition." Morgan told Ryan to change her hair, dress and shoes, "and you will win this tournament. ... You came on this stage, and you blew us away!" Hasselhoff called her "a star" and called for the audience to "get on your feet for this girl!"[1] Side Swipe, a karate team who performed karate moves to music, also advanced to the second round from the New York auditions, but didn't compete in any of the semifinal episodes. In their audition for the second season of America's Got Talent in 2007, it was disclosed that the group had to withdraw from the competition in Season 1 because one of the members had injured his foot shortly after their first round performance. Seven additional acts from New York that also made it to the second round were briefly shown at the end of the show, since there were too many performers to fit into a one hour episode. They include: The Hemphill Kids, Clarence Donaldson, Ten13 Concept, Billy Januario, The King Charles Unicycle Troupe, Aaron Burr, and Daniel Colin. Acts that were eliminated include: William J. McGowan, an opera singer that sang "Cara Mia". Morgan called him the worst singer he'd ever heard. Frank Simon, a man who balanced a motorbike and then a stove on his lower jaw. Though extremely popular with the crowd, the judges felt that wasn't a level of talent. Morgan stated, "This is a talent show, not a freak show," which was followed by loud boos from the audience. Matthew Fuhrman, a navy reserve soldier from Miami Beach, Florida who attempted to beatbox. Though taking off his shirt won him some female audience support, the judges didn't like his audition. Marlon Reynolds, a man that sang "I Left My Heart In San Francisco", did not get a chance to sing the chorus. Morgan said he should have left his voice in San Francisco. Chicago auditions Jon and Owen - The Passing Zone, juggling for the audience and judges.Aired July 5, 2006, 1 hour Acts that advanced to the second round include: The Passing Zone, two comedians/jugglers who juggled lit torches while on the 'Rola Bola of Death' as they make one-liners. Hasselhoff didn't like them, as with most of the other jugglers on the show, but Brandy and Morgan both said yes. The Millers, Cole on guitar and vocals, and L.D. on harmonica and backing vocals. They played Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". Morgan said that L.D. was a terrible singer, but in contrast, was the best harmonica player he had ever seen.


Lilia Stepanova, a contortionist who shot a bow and arrow with her feet while executing a handstand to Ecstasy by ATB. Mark Faje (aka Mark "The Knife"), the "world's most dangerous comic", kicked a burning bowling ball with two steak knives protruding from it to the side of his head after placing a live scorpion in his pants. The judges all voted yes (though Morgan thought he was "completely barking mad"). Taylor Ware, a singer and yodeler who learned all her yodeling from a tape and instruction booklet. The judges were blown away by her performance ("You learned that from a tape," asked Hasselhoff, "and an instruction booklet?! You are a good student!"). The Players Club, a group of people who were "Step dancers", which involves using only your body as musical instruments. Morgan didn't see that they had an audience for their talent, while Hasselhoff and Brandy liked the act, though Brandy wanted them to be tighter. Quick Change Artists, a magic duo who rapidly changed outfits, with a clearly visible way of determining how they did it. Three additional acts from Chicago that also made it to the second round were briefly shown at the end of the show, since there were too many performers to fit into a one hour episode. They include: K Turbo, Sonia Lee, and Chadwick. Acts that were eliminated include: The Chicago Matadors, a group of overweight Chicago Bulls fans who danced to music. Shawn Crump, a singer who had only been singing for nine months. When asked by Brandy how good he was, he said he was awesome. Soon after starting "Suspicious Minds", he was quickly voted off. Sharon Kissane, a bird caller. She called birds that weren't there and made bird noises. Brandy wondered where the birds were that she was calling, Hasselhoff said she should be on medication, and Morgan said that she got off the wrong bus and came to the studio by mistake. He also said that he thought of the cuckoo when she was performing. Buster Balloon, a man who put himself inside a giant balloon. The balloon popped the first time, so he got another and did his act again. The judges were not very impressed, though. Flippy the Magnificent, a man wearing only a loincloth who imitated a hand-to-hand balancing act with an inflatable doll that looked like himself. When asked what was the "magnificent" part of the act, Flippy said that the judges did not give him a chance to bring out the magnificent part. Morgan said it was a ridiculous act and it was a waste of time. The Laughing Yogi (Yogi Ramesh), a man who did yoga that tried to make people laugh. Semi-finals At this point, 58 of the 61 acts (29 with televised auditions and 29 without) that made it to the semifinals were divided into four groups. The 14 or 15 acts in each group had to perform a second audition in front of only the judges. Brandy, Hasselhoff, and Morgan then pick ten of these performers to continue onto the telecast. The contestants chosen to perform on stage were announced one at a time. Those acts that were not chosen did not find out until the last act is called, ending their chances to move on to the semifinals, unless a judge selected a nonperformer for the Wild Card show later in the season. Three semifinalists: Sydney Park, Sideswipe, and Michael Speaks (all of which had televised auditions), didn't perform in the semifinals at all. No reason was given for their absence, but in 2007, it was revealed that Sideswipe had to withdraw because of a member's foot injury. Sydney Park was believed to be absent because of her career in acting. All semifinal programs were two hours long. The results shows, airing the next day, were one hour long, except for the first results show which was 30 minutes long. Semifinals legend Formatting Description Contestants 1.

Although Brandy revealed that she and Hasselhoff agreed on a choice, Morgan said he refused to add a third singing act to the two that had already made it to the finals, stating "this is not American Idol" and he "wanted a more diverse group of acts for the final". This indicated that At Last was Brandy and Hasselhoff's pick (as the other singing acts that night got an X on Brandy's part). Realis became the judges' selection, announced on the following day's results show, while At Last became the viewers' pick.

America's Got Talent (season 2) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

America's Got Talent (Season 2) Format Reality talent show Created by Simon Cowell Ken Warwick Cécile Frot-Coutaz Jason Raff Presented by Jerry Springer Judges Season Two Piers Morgan Sharon Osbourne David Hasselhoff Country of origin United States Production Executive producer(s) Simon Cowell Ken Warwick Running time Varies Broadcast Original channel NBC Picture format 480i (NTSC) Original run June 21, 2006 – present Chronology Preceded by Season 1 Followed by Season 3 External links Official website IMDb profile TV.com summary The second season of America's Got Talent, an American television reality show talent competition, premiered on the NBC network on June 5, 2007 with a two-hour episode. Tabloid talk show host Jerry Springer succeeded Regis Philbin as host.[1] Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff returned as judges, joined by newcomer Sharon Osbourne.[2] Brandy voluntarily stepped down as judge after a wrongful death lawsuit was brought against her for her involvement in a fatal car collision.[3][4] The second season of the show was originally announced to debut in January 2007[5], with a timeslot of Sunday nights at 8 p.m.; however, the network substituted another reality talent show, Grease: You're The One That I Want. This season's winner was ventriloquist/impressionist Terry Fator.

External links Differences with Season 1 Unlike in season 1, where the acts were divided into four groups after the audition and sent straight to the semifinals, the acts were sent to Las Vegas for a boot camp, where they could perfect their skills. In Las Vegas, the acts were divided into two groups, "music" and "variety". The judges chose 35 acts from both groups to make it to their short list; afterwards (with no additional performances after the first division of talent), the judges chose twenty acts to move on to the semifinals. In the season 1 semifinals, within each group of 14 or 15 acts, only 10 would perform. In Season 2, the 20 remaining acts were divided into 2 groups of 10. America eliminated 5 from each group. The remaining 10 competed head to head, with some eliminated each week. There are no more "judges' choice" and white check marks to signify approval. The judges may still press their X's anytime during the performance, but this rarely happens, as only Piers Morgan used his button in the Season 2 semifinals. Preliminary Auditions Dallas auditions Aired June 5, 2007, 2 hours .[6] Acts that were eliminated include: Tony La Brea, took off his robe and sang shirtless, wearing a collar, tie and cuffs. Before his performance, the judges noted that his voice was similar to that of Barry White. However, once he took off his shirt, the judges eventually got him X'd out. The song he sang was "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls. Adam Aaron Michaels, Elvis Presley impersonator, was eliminated by all three judges as soon as he came out. He was then given another chance but was eliminated again after singing the first line of "Release Me". David commented that they were granting his wish by "releasing him." Erica Marks, 12-year-old singer who sang Jennifer Holliday's "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going." Morgan said she was trying to copy the style of last year's winner, Bianca Ryan, singing the same song. Mr. Bill, bus driver, sang "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music. At the end of his performance, Morgan noted that if the show were judged on personality, he would win the competition. Human Slinky, a male acrobat covered with large colored coils for appendages. David made a reference to a dancing colon on stage. Ari Marks, violinist. Her husband Nicholas Marks competed separately this season and continued to the next round. They auditioned as a duo in season 1. Breeze, 9 years old, performed a competitive cheerleading routine. All three judges hit their buzzers, and Morgan said her mother must have pushed her into performing. Springer escorted her mother on stage and said, "She's not on trial here". In response to Morgan's comments, Osbourne said that she was leaving the show as she left the auditorium and returned to her dressing room. Morgan followed her and talked through her dressing room door. When they heard that the contestant was still waiting on stage, they returned to the judges' desk and apologized to her. Sam Adu, sang "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder. "Bronzon Gold" (Tom Zemke), disco dancer. He told the judges that his dance was a combination of old and new dance moves, but Osbourne mentioned that she had seen all of the moves he performed. Bob Moore and his Amazing Mongrels, performed tricks with a dozen dogs he rescued from the pound. Piers pointed out that of the dozen, only two of the dogs actually did anything. David and Joel Letterman "The Pec Brothers" , tightened their pectoral muscles to the tune of "Dueling Banjos". The judges were laughing, but they eventually X'd him out. Brandon Pereyda, aerialist. He won over the audience, but the judges decided that his act was sketchy and unprofessional and asked him to keep practicing. L.A. auditions Aired June 12, 2007, 2 hours[7] Acts that were eliminated include: Laticia Widman, sang Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" with her mouth closed. Normandie Manchester, drag queen who danced to "Mickey" by Toni Basil.


Tammie Brown, drag queen Galadin, male belly dancer Maximilliania, a male impressionist. She sung like a male and she frightened the judges. She got Xed out. Tika Rainn, a Valley Girl rapper with 2 backup singers. She is also known as Sweetie from the first season of Flavor of Love. After the judges didn't vote her back, she mooned them, the pixelization showed she was wearing no underwear under her skirt. Jason and Nolan, twin violinists Fred Grzybowski, pogo stick acrobat Hanne Frederick, singer Chicago auditions Aired June 19, 2007, 2 hours[8] Acts that were eliminated include: Consuelo Campbell, sang in the style of gospel, opera, religious, and blues. Francisse Elaine, 10 years old, sang Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This".The judges all agreed that she would be much better in a few years. John England, a pianist from, as his last name suggests, England, and dressed in red, white and blue. He failed to impress the judges, particularly Piers. Mr. Heart & Soul, a mime that was criticized for talking and singing throughout his performance. Morgan reacted: "You have an appalling singing voice, so if I were you, I would just keep quiet." Charlie the Whistler (Charlie King), played banjo and showed off several styles of Tuvan throat singing. Serpentia, a dance group that carried boa constrictors. L.A. Penetrate, a rock band. Coolaid the Clown, a youth center's hip-hop dance troupe. Although Hasselhoff opted to put them through, Osbourne and Morgan voted not to. Hot Pink Feathers, a cabaret burlesque dance group. Alex Mooney, who broke or bent small objects such as a ruler and spoon by squeezing them between his buttcheeks. The judges generally thought his act to be ridiculous. New York auditions Aired June 26, 2007, 2 hours[9] Acts that were eliminated include: Sexy Techno Boy, from Astoria, New York - Techno Music Producer from NYC. He sang original track "Beat Conductor" while dancing. S. K. Thoth - A self-proclaimed "prayer-formance artist" - violin, chanting, dancing. The chant was in a language that Thoth invented. Ricardo Aleman - standup comedian who insulted Hasselhoff and Morgan after being refused to the Las Vegas callbacks. Pennsylvania Hand Band - made music by squeezing their hands together, with one band member performing in a giant hand costume. Abenz, rapper. He originally performed with Byrain Wynbush as his background singer, but the judges said no to Abenz alone and invited Wynbush to come back later for a solo audition. Sunshine, 51 year old hippie who sang "Amazing Grace." Shad-Dai - singing twin sisters. Jay Green - juggler. Second Round Las Vegas Callbacks Part 1 of the Las Vegas callbacks was broadcast on July 10, 2007. The 70 remaining acts were trimmed down to a short list of 35 acts.[10] Part 2 of the Las Vegas callbacks was broadcast on July 11, 2007. The short list of 35 acts was then reduced to a Top 20 to be voted on by the viewing audience.[11] Acts that were eliminated during the callbacks included: Ada Lynn Chicago auditions: 80-year old singer/comedienne.

Criticism was harder on the grandfather, who remarked as he left the stage that Sage went on, but that he himself had been fired.[9] Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Performance was not televised, but from photos on the AGT web site, it was apparent that Sage is now competing solo, without his grandfather.[23] Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 2): Told by the judges, "this isn't the end, it's the beginning."

This contrasts with the larger variety of acts that were finalists in the first season. For the audition and callback shows, audiences could participate by way of the "Lucky X" game. Viewers were asked to select which of the judges would press the X. All correct answers were entered in a random drawing with three winners winning $10,000 per episode. Entries were accepted online at NBC.com and by way of text messaging. The white buttons to activate the checks from last season are still on the judges' desk, despite it being eliminated from the game. Morgan buzzed at least one performance in every episode, except for the final. As with the previous season, the final division of contestants included people who incorporated singing in their act.
