Viewers have a say in who takes home the $1 million grand prize. Here’s how you can make sure your voice is heard.

Unlike the rest of the season, fans will have an entire week to cast their vote for one of the 10 finalists.
Viewers can vote at NBC.com/AGTVote or via the AGT App available through Google Play and the App Store. If you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to sign up for a free NBCUniversal Profile using your email address in order to complete the voting process. Fans are limited to 10 votes per act, per voting method.
Who Made the ‘AGT’ Season 19 Finals?
America’s Got Talent fans may have noticed that the show’s quarterfinals looked a little different this year. That’s because for the first time ever, judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara—along with host Terry Crews—each had the opportunity to send acts straight to the finals with a “Live Show Golden Buzzer.”
After the quarterfinals wrapped, 12 acts moved on to compete for the top six sports in the semifinals. Those six acts will now join the four Live Show Golden Buzzers in the two-night finale, beginning tonight (Tuesday, Sept. 17), and ending Tuesday, Sept 24.
Richard Goodall, a middle school janitor in Indiana, boarded a plane for the first time to try out for AGT. His rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” earned him a Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum. Now, he is among the 10 remaining acts vying for the $1 million grand prize.
“The songs I love to sing are timeless, and they give everyone hope,” Goodall told People. “That’s what I really want to do, just give people hope [and encourage them to] never give up.”
