Only 36 acts made it to America’s Got Talent Season 12 Live Shows. Held at the prestigious Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California (yes, the same place where the Oscars are presented), AGT judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel continue to critique the acts vying for a spot at the semi-finals. But it’s ultimately up to America to decide which 7 out of 21 acts advance each week — it’s a challenging path leading up to the semi-finals and the ultimate $1 million prize and show in Las Vegas. During the first week of the Live Shows, Golden Buzzer recipient Darcy Lynne Farmer, the singing ventriloquist continued to wow and warm the hearts of the audience as did brother and sister rollerskating daredevils Billy and Emily England (see photo above), who shared more of the personal family story that inspires them to succeed.
