A new feature for Season 20 of America’s Got Talent is the Live Golden Buzzer, which will be awarded by one of the judges – Simon Cowell, Mel B, Howie Mandel or Sofia Vergara – each week and which will take the recipient directly to the finale.

Here are the results for who went home on ‘AGT’ on night one of the 2025 Live Shows and who made it through to the Season 20 semifinals.

There are certainly some standouts in the first crop of performers, and I don't just mean Tom Sandoval and the Vanderpump Rules scandal that followed him to AGT. There are no fewer than three golden buzzers in the group: Mel B's Charity Lockhart, Howie Mandel 's Jourdan Blue, and Simon Cowell 's LightWire.
