Law & Order Season 24: Meet Maura Tierney's Character in New Promo
Wednesday’s live two-hour broadcast brought back all 11 of Tuesday’s acts — dance group Brent Street, comedian Erica Rhodes, balancing duo Illya & Anastasia Strakhov, comedic magician Jonathan Burns, singer/guitarist Oscar Stembridge, singer Pranysqa Mishra, quick-change artist Solange Kardinaly, musician Stephanie Rainey, and comedy act Tonikaku — to reveal who scored the final three slots in the semifinals. (Acrobatic duo Sebastián and Sonia earned this week’s Golden Buzzer, sending them straight to the finals.)
Heading into Wednesday’s episode, TVLine readers picked Solange Kardinaly (25%), Brent Street (18%) Pranysqa Mishra (14%) as the three acts they would send through to the semifinals. And while that’s usually a pretty good prediction for how the results will shake out, nothing is ever guaranteed.
Whichever three acts make it through this week join the nine acts already through to the semifinals. This season’s semifinalists include musical duo Ashes & Arrows, dog act Roni Sagi & Rhythm, singing janitor Richard Goodall, magician Young-Min, Canadian crooner Alex Sampson, drone act Sky Elements, aerialist Kelsey Jane, comedian Learnmore Jonasi and young singer Reid Wilson. And three others have already earned spots in the Season 19 finals: Hakuna Matata Acrobats, dance crew Airfootworks and singer Dee Dee Simon.
Read on for a full breakdown of Wednesday’s results, then drop a comment with your thoughts. Were any of your favorite acts unjustly eliminated? And which semifinalists will you be rooting for next week?
SAFE: Brent Street
Howie Mandel’s Golden Buzzer pick did him proud, kicking off the night with another crowd-pleasing dance routine, this time set to Billie Eilish’s “you should see me in a crown.”
ELIMINATED: Illya and Anastasia Strakhov
Up next, this married Ukrainian couple performed more incredible feats of strength and flexibility with a routine that was — dare we say — even more impressive than their audition.
ELIMINATED: Oscar Stembridge
The 16-year-old Swedish rocker once again charmed the judges with an original song titled “Little Bird.”
ELIMINATED: Jonathan Burns
The comedic magician from Pennsylvania got the only “X” of the night, courtesy of Simon Cowell. (Not a great sign.)
ELIMINATED: L6
We still cringe thinking back to when Cowell stopped L6 in the middle of their audition, so we’re happy to report that the Filipino singing group made it through this week’s performance of “Rewrite the Stars” without being interrupted.
ELIMINATED: Tonikaku
The Japanese variety act had the audience in stitches, returning in the quarterfinals with another hilarious routine. (And yes, he was wearing pants.)
ELIMINATED: Stephanie Rainey
This Irish songstress was music to the judges’ ears, returning for the quarterfinals with a beautiful performance of her original song “Woman.”
SAFE (Golden Buzzer): Sebastián and Sonia
We thought acrobatic duo Sebastián and Sonia would have to exit the competition due to her injury, but he was allowed to perform solo this week, doing his partner proud by earning Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer. There wasn’t a dry eye on the stage as confetti rained down on the happy couple, who are now guaranteed a spot in the finals. (Which is good, because Sonia needs time to recover.)
ELIMINATED: Erica Rhodes
The comedian and actress returned with another solid routine, this time educating the audience in Friend-Zoning 101.
SAFE: Solange Kardinaly
If you weren’t already impressed by this quick-change artist after her audition, we’re sure that her impressive quarterfinals routine quickly changed your mind, no?
SAFE: Pranysqa Mishra
The 10-year-old singer from Tampa, Fla., closed out the night with a show-stopping performance of Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.”
