AGT Live Voting Results Reveal 3 Semifinalists
The latest AGT live voting results are officially in, and three more acts have secured their places in the America’s Got Talent Season 21 semifinals. After 11 performers competed during the third round of the quarterfinals, viewers selected Acro Canine Crew, Kameron Marshall and Daniel Alvarez to continue their journeys toward the Season 21 title.
The results arrived Wednesday, September 2, following a packed live performance episode the previous night. While the audience decided which acts would advance through the public vote, singer Lai Noelle had already secured her spot in the finals after receiving a Golden Buzzer from guest judge Kenan Thompson.
The outcome delivered a mixture of celebration and disappointment. Seven performers were eliminated, while the three acts chosen by viewers joined the growing list of Season 21 semifinalists.
For fans following the competition closely, the latest AGT live voting results also provided a clearer picture of the remaining field as the show moves closer to its final stages.

AGT Live Voting Results: Who Advanced?
Three performers received enough votes from viewers to move into the Season 21 semifinals.
Acro Canine Crew Advances
Acro Canine Crew was one of the night’s biggest crowd-pleasers. The group combined human acrobatics, dancing and highly trained dogs in an energetic quarterfinal performance set around a beach-party theme.
The act impressed the judges with its combination of entertainment and technical skill. Howie Mandel praised the group for bringing together several elements that audiences naturally enjoy, including dogs, acrobatics and dancing.
That enthusiasm was ultimately reflected in the voting.
Acro Canine Crew was announced as one of the three acts moving forward, giving the performers another opportunity to compete for a place in the Season 21 finals.
The result also demonstrated how important audience appeal can become once America’s Got Talent reaches the live-show stage. At this point in the competition, viewers have a major influence over which contestants survive.
Kameron Marshall Moves Into the Semifinals
Magician Kameron Marshall also received enough votes to advance.
Marshall’s quarterfinal performance included both judge participation and audience interaction, creating one of the more unpredictable moments of the night. Mel B was particularly impressed by the routine, admitting that she could not fully understand how the trick had been performed.
That sense of mystery is exactly what a magician needs on a show built around spectacle.
The audience ultimately agreed with the judges’ positive reaction. Marshall was named among the three performers moving into the semifinals and will now have another chance to raise the stakes with an even larger performance.
Marshall had previously impressed the judges during the competition, and his advancement means the magician remains firmly in contention as Season 21 approaches its decisive rounds.
Daniel Alvarez Becomes the Final Act to Advance
Comedian Daniel Alvarez completed the trio of viewer-selected semifinalists.
His quarterfinal performance took a personal approach, with Alvarez joking about his fellow contestants and incorporating self-deprecating humor into his routine. The comedian even referenced the fact that he was the last comic standing in the group.
The strategy worked.
Howie Mandel had already expressed strong support for Alvarez following his performance, praising his ability to turn what was happening around him into comedy. Sofia Vergara and the other judges also responded positively to his set.
When the results were finally revealed, Alvarez was the last performer announced as safe.
That made the moment particularly dramatic because the remaining contestants had already watched two acts advance. Alvarez ultimately received the news he was hoping for and earned his place in the semifinals.
His advancement is also significant for the show’s comedy category. With the competition becoming increasingly crowded with singers, magicians and specialty performers, Alvarez gives Season 21 a strong stand-up comedy representative heading into the semifinals.
Lai Noelle Skips the Vote and Goes Straight to the Finals
While the AGT live voting results determined three semifinalists, Lai Noelle did not need to wait for America’s vote.
The 14-year-old singer earned guest judge Kenan Thompson’s Golden Buzzer during Tuesday’s quarterfinal performance. That immediately sent her to the Season 21 finals.
Noelle performed Elton John’s “Your Song”, delivering a performance that received enthusiastic reactions from the judges and studio audience.
Mel B gave the young singer a standing ovation and praised the level of her performance. Sofia Vergara also highlighted Noelle’s maturity as a performer, while Howie Mandel agreed that she had demonstrated why she deserved her opportunity on the show.
Thompson ultimately decided that Noelle was the act worthy of his Golden Buzzer.
The moment was particularly notable because Noelle had already received a Golden Buzzer during the audition stage. Simon Cowell previously awarded her the honor after her performance of Sienna Spiro’s “Die on This Hill.” The second Golden Buzzer guaranteed that Noelle would bypass the semifinals entirely and perform in the finals.
That gives Noelle an unusually strong position heading toward the end of the competition.
Seven Acts Are Eliminated
The positive news for the three semifinalists came with difficult news for seven other contestants.
The eliminated performers from this round were:
- Holland & Sienna
- Isaac Atkins
- Maria
- Elsie
- Herwan Legaillard
- Guy Kelton Jones I
- Pynk Beard
Each performer had reached the quarterfinal stage after surviving earlier rounds, making the eliminations especially significant.
Holland & Sienna had impressed the judges with their aerial routine, while Maria delivered another physically demanding contortion performance. Herwan Legaillard brought danger to the stage with a sword-swallowing act.
Guy Kelton Jones I offered a combination of spoken-word poetry and gospel music, while singers Elsie, Isaac Atkins and Pynk Beard represented different styles of vocal performance.
However, only three acts from the viewer-voting group could move forward.
The latest AGT live voting results therefore show just how difficult it has become for contestants to remain in the competition.
What the Results Mean for AGT Season 21
The Season 21 competition is now entering a crucial stage.
With another group of quarterfinalists still waiting to perform, the semifinal field will continue to take shape. According to the current schedule, the fourth and final quarterfinal round is set for September 8, followed by the semifinals on September 15 and the results episode on September 16. The Season 21 finale is scheduled for September 22 and 23.
The latest results also highlight the different paths contestants can take through the competition.
Acro Canine Crew, Kameron Marshall and Daniel Alvarez earned their semifinal places through viewer votes. Lai Noelle, meanwhile, bypassed the semifinals entirely through Thompson’s Golden Buzzer.
Other contestants have also benefited from Golden Buzzer advantages earlier in the season. The current finals group includes magician group Hundred Fingers and rocker Nene Royal, alongside Noelle.
That creates an increasingly diverse group of finalists and semifinalists, including singers, comedians, magicians, dancers, specialty performers and animal acts.
Simon Cowell’s Absence Adds Another Twist
Another storyline surrounding the latest results has been Simon Cowell’s absence from the judges’ panel.
Cowell is temporarily away from the show while recovering from a back procedure. Kenan Thompson stepped into his place during the third quarterfinal round and was given the responsibility of awarding the Live Golden Buzzer.
Thompson’s presence gave the episode a different dynamic, particularly because of his comedy background. His decision to send Noelle directly to the finals became one of the biggest moments of the night.
Meanwhile, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Sofia Vergara continued to provide feedback to the performers.
However, once the Golden Buzzer decision was made, the audience became the decisive factor for the other contestants.
That made Wednesday’s AGT live voting results especially important.
Full Season 21 Semifinal Picture
After the latest results, the acts currently listed as advancing to the semifinals include:
- Royal Lasers
- Olivia Befus
- Luke Taleno
- Come Here
- Veronika Goroshkova
- Geno Ploeger
- Kameron Marshall

There are still more contestants scheduled to compete before the semifinal field is complete.
That means the competition remains wide open.
For viewers, the next quarterfinal round will be another opportunity to determine which performers deserve a chance to compete in the semifinals.
When Is the Next AGT Results Show?
The next group of America’s Got Talent quarterfinalists is scheduled to perform on September 8, with the results from that round also arriving September 8. The semifinal performance episode is scheduled for September 15, followed by the semifinal results on September 16.
The Season 21 finale is then scheduled for September 22, with the winner set to be revealed on September 23.
Fans can follow the latest information through NBC’s official America’s Got Talent coverage and the show’s official updates.
Final Takeaway From the AGT Live Voting Results
The latest AGT live voting results delivered a major breakthrough for Acro Canine Crew, Kameron Marshall and Daniel Alvarez. All three acts successfully converted strong quarterfinal performances into enough viewer support to continue competing.
At the same time, Lai Noelle emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners without needing to participate in the public vote. Her second Golden Buzzer of the season sent her directly to the finals, placing the teenage singer among the first confirmed finalists of Season 21.
The eliminations of Holland & Sienna, Isaac Atkins, Maria, Elsie, Herwan Legaillard, Guy Kelton Jones I and Pynk Beard show how unforgiving the live rounds have become.
With another quarterfinal round still ahead, the Season 21 field is far from complete. But one thing is already clear: America’s vote is playing an increasingly important role in determining which acts have a genuine shot at winning the competition.
As the semifinals approach, every performance will carry greater pressure, and the next AGT live voting results could dramatically change the race for the Season 21 championship.
