Jackie Evancho – One of the most well known former contestants out there. Her original performance years ago felt like America’s Got Talent’s answer to Susan Boyle, and a way to deliver a “wow” factor that came from a young girl who could beautifully sing opera. She’s now an adult, so this is a chance to show how far she’s come.
Shin Lim – He’s the reigning champion! Obviously, that comes with high expectations, especially since this show filmed so close to him winning this past season. There may be more expected from him, and he hasn’t had a ton of time to think over what he wants to do.
Attraction – A former Britain’s Got Talent winning act — basically, the masters of shadow art. They make images out of silhouettes in order to deliver a powerful visual experience.
Colin Cloud – He’s a famed mentalist who has done a lot of work with the Illusionists since appearing on America’s Got Talent years ago — he’s a slick professional similar to the Clairvoyants, but this season hasn’t really been great for magicians so far.
Sons of Serendip – They’re a good vocal group from AGT seasons past, but they feel like The Texas Tenors from this past round — almost destined to be forgotten, even if they really shouldn’t be.
Lost Voice Guy – The reigning champion of Britain’s Got Talent, he is a comedian who, despite not having a voice of his own, still finds a way to have a brilliant act. We wish that there was a chance longer than one performance for Americans to get to know him.
Tokio Myers – Another former Britain’s Got Talent winner and perhaps one of the best musicians ever on the show. He’s almost like Kenichi, but with music in how he creates a real experience around his act.
Sal Valentinetti – He’s the crooner who previously got a Golden Buzzer from Heidi Klum — he’s a fantastic singer, but can he manage to stick around when there are so many other singers who are moving forward?
Cosentino – He’s an illusionist and escape artist known from Australia’s Got Talent, and our heart already goes out to him having to compete on the same show as both Colin and Shim. This is going to prove quite difficult.
Kseniya Simonova – She is a sand artist who creates stories within a tiny window of time. What she does is rarely ever done on this show (we saw it with Joe Castillo years ago), and it is absolutely fantastic and wholly unique. She’s previously appeared on the Ukrainian version of the show.
