AceShowbiz – Season 15 of “America’s Got Talent” aired its first round of Judge Cuts on Tuesday, July 28. Usually, contestants are coming face-to-face for this round, but due to coronavirus, they did it differently this season. Judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel reunited in the studio while the acts were shown on a huge screen.
After sending Celina, Malik DOPE, Alan Silva, Brett Loudermilk and Archie Williams to the live shows, the judges were offered with another 10 performances with salsa dance duo Simon and Maria being the first act to perform. Simon praised them for performing a “better routine,” while Sofia called them “perfect.”
