America’s Got Talent 2021 officially unveiled the Top 36 last week. And tonight (August 10) the show returns to NBC after a two week Olympic break.
The Live Shows kick off with 12 acts that will perform live for America’s Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara and host Terry Crews as they compete for America’s vote and the chance to win a $1 million prize.
Additionally, AGT viewers will have a chance to vote for their favorite act at NBC.com/AGTVote and via the “AGT” App (available through Google Play and on the App Store).
Tuesday, Aug. 10 performances
Jimmie Herrod is the sole Golden Buzzer act performing tonight. It’s hard to imagine he would not advance to the semi-finals. Sethward is here for the yucks. Gina Brillon is the act with the most experience. I expect her to do well. She’s as cool as a cucumber up on stage.
Watch for a voting poll tonight and a prediction post before Wednesday’s live results show.
