AGT, or America's Got Talent is one of the most popular talent shows in the US. It's known for showcasing a wide range of acts, from singers and dancers to magicians, comedians, and exceptional performers worldwide.
America's Got Talent quarterfinal 4 performances
The night began with an energetic performance by the 31-person Australian dance group Brent Street. The group, known for its exciting routines, used small stages on wheels to make a stunning stage area. The judges liked how creative and determined they were, but Simon Cowell thought the act was "too artsy" and "a little bit slow," so he didn't press the Golden Buzzer even though his fellow judges asked him to.
Illya and Anastasia Strakhov, a balancing pair with a background in acrobatics, were next. Illya had to balance upside down on stacked bowling balls and even on one finger on top of a champagne bottle as part of their routine. Oscar Stembridge, a 16-year-old singer, was the third act of the night. He performed an original song while playing the guitar.
The next act was by comedy magician Jonathan Burns, who mixed humor and magic by escaping from a sleeper sofa in the style of Houdini. The vocal group L6 sang Rewrite the Stars from The Greatest Showman.
Tonikaku, a novelty act known for making people laugh while appearing half-naked, came on stage and did a bunch of playful skits. The Irish singer-songwriter Stephanie Rainey sang 'Woman,' which was inspired by her mother's battle with cancer.
Solo aerialist Sebastián filled in for Sonia, who was hurt and couldn't do her act. Judges told him how excellent his solo performance was, and Simon gave it the Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the finals.
When comedian Erica Rhodes returned with a set about her life, the judges had mixed feelings about it. A quick-change artist named Solange Kardinaly's audition went viral, and she changed up her act by adding magic and aerial elements. At the end of quarterfinal 4 of America's Got Talent, 10-year-old singer Pranysqa Mishra sang Wrecking Ball.
