In the episode, Jonathan Goodwin performed what he claimed to be one of the most dangerous acts, “Trial by Fire”. Before he started, Heidi came to check all of the contraptions. Jonathan, whose head was locked in a box and handcuffed, had to escape before a 20-second fire ring would burn him alive. For the dangerous performance, Heidi called him “fully insane.” Howie and Sofia also enjoyed it though they admitted that it was stressful.
Concluding the night was Voices of Our City Choir of San Diego, who performed a new arrangement of “Stand by Me”. It gives the judges chills with the performance.
Only five of them will advance to the next round. The results will be revealed in the Wednesday, August 19 episode.

Prior to the ‘Saturday Night Live’ star, Kelly Clarkson filled in for Simon, who broke his back after falling from an electric bike earlier this month, for last week’s episodes.
Aug 18, 2020
AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell apparently will not be featured in the upcoming episode of “America’s Got Talent”. As Simon continues to recuperate following back surgery, Kenan Thompson has been tapped to appear as a guest judge. He will join judges Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and newcomer Sofia Vergara.
Prior to the “Saturday Night Live” star, Kelly Clarkson filled in for Simon for last week’s episodes. “My friend, Simon Cowell, is doing better now but was in an accident and won’t be able to make Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows for AGT, but no worries America, someone far wiser, cooler, and hotter is taking his seat! The unbelievably amazing Kelly Clarkson,” Kelly wrote on Twitter. “You’re welcome in advance!”
A source claimed to PEOPLE that Simon, who broke his back on August 8 at his Malibu, California, “is really happy Kelly is standing in for him on AGT this week and grateful to her.” Simon injured his back when he fell off an electric bike in front of his 6-year-old son Eric.
He reportedly underwent overnight surgery to fix the problem. “It’s going to take him weeks, maybe months,” sources said of the music mogul’s condition. “Simon has a long and difficult road ahead. He has told friends and colleagues that he wants to be back at work immediately but they’ve had to remind him that this is a very serious injury and he needs to just rest and recuperate. It’s going to take him weeks, and maybe months, to get back to where he was.”
However, they added, “If he ignores the doctor’s orders then it will be very bad news for him long term,” insisting, “He was up in bed talking about deals and telly but he had to be told to relax.” Meanwhile, PETA India animal rights activists named an injured bull after the TV personality as he recovers from a broken back.

AceShowbiz – “America’s Got Talent” is another step closer to finding American’s most favorite act of season 15. Following the first live performance shows on Tuesday, August 11, the fate of the remaining contestants were revealed in the Wednesday, August 12 episode.
Before moving on to the dreadful moments, last season’s champ Kodi Lee returned to the talent competition series to deliver a rendition of Finneas’ “Break My Heart Again”. The inspirational blind singer with autism received a standing ovation from Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and guest judge Kelly Clarkson, who filled in for Simon Cowell after the British producer broke his spine in an electric bike accident.

Next, the results were unveiled, with Archie Williams, Shaquira McGrath and Roberta Battaglia being the first three acts to be sent to semifinals for receiving the most votes. A speechless Archie said he felt “wonderful.”
Kelly told the 59-year-old, who spent 37 years in prison after being wrongly convicted, what he could do to win the show, “Continue to tell stories. That’s your thing.” The “American Idol” alum went on advising him, “That’s your whole purpose. You have such a powerful testimony. I’m sorry you even have it.”
Shaquira said, “It feels so good to know that America has faith in my talent,” after joining the safe zone, while judge Sofia said of her Golden Buzzer pick Roberta, “I cannot believe it. I was so nervous and now I realize I did the right thing.”
It was not over yet for Brett Loudermilk, Feng E and Double Dragon, who ranked in the middle of the pack. They went head-to-head in a live voting round for the “Dunkin’ Save”, leaving their fate in the hands of viewers who cast their votes in a 30-minute flash round. In the end, Brett nabbed another place in the semifinals. “I want to say a lot of things I can’t say on camera right now,” he quipped.
Later, the judges had to pick whether to save Feng E or Double Dragon. “This is very hard because I truly love both acts,” Heidi said before voting for Double Dragon. Sofia, who has a “soft spot for Latino girls,” also picked Double Dragon. Kelly chose Feng E, but Howie gave his determining vote to Double Dragon, sending the singing duo to semifinals.
This meant Feng E was eliminated along with Bello & Annaliese Nock, Michael Yo, Frenchie Babyy, Pork Chop Revue as well as Simon & Maria.
Next week, “AGT” will return with eleven other acts fighting in the second quarterfinal rounds for a chance to land spots in semifinals.
