‘America’s Got Talent’: Who’s performing live in ‘Qualifiers 3’? Putri Ariani, Mzansi Youth Choir …
The third week of “America’s Got Talent” live shows for Season 18 will air Tuesday, September 5 (performance show) and Wednesday, September 6 (results show), with 11 out of the 55 total acts taking the stage in front of judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara and host Terry Crews. In each of the five initial qualifying rounds, only the top two vote-getters will advance to the grand finale, so voting is of utmost importance. The “Qualifiers 3” week will welcome two Golden Buzzers to the stage: Simon’s choice of blind and autistic singer Putri Ariani, and the audience’s pick of Mzansi Youth Choir.
