NBC 'America's Got Talent' is underway 2025

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC (2025). I revisited AGT after a few years away. The 3rd week begins this Tuesday with more auditions. There have been changes since the last time I watched. It takes 15 weeks to go through all of the auditions. Then, the Live shows begin leading up to the final. America "votes" for each talent act during the Live shows, the semi-finals and the final. The winner receives $1 million dollars and a Las Vegas act.

There are no more trips to Las Vegas after the auditions where many talent acts fall under the pressure. The judges cuts have also been eliminated. The "wild-card" segment is also terminated where a judge brings back a talent act for a second chance. Now, it appears online voters can choose a wild card act to move forward.

There is also a Golden Buzzer that sends the talent directly to the Live shows. Each judge and host get one Golden Buzzer.

I've watched the first two weeks of this season 2025. I've chosen two acts that have been voted through after their auditions.

Below is performer Micah Palace who had great energy.

Judge Simon Cowell hates Clowns. A talent act called, "Phobias" consisted of three non-speaking clowns. They were great. I like watching the audience during these horror performances. Who is scared etc.... This elderly male behind the judges was laughing and clapping during this whole act. Funny.
