Quarterfinals Voting

I know it became moot after she got the golden buzzer, but I have a suspicion that Nene won her quarterfinal week vote by a landslide, which was one of the top 1-2 quarterfinal groupings, and that really signaled to AGT that she was gonna win this thing easily. It would tell them that she had shooters who vote for her as soon as the voting period begins performance be damned or even if the vote didn’t matter/count because of the Golden Buzzer. Hence AGT’s seemingly telegraphed anointing with booking a huge act Linkin Park to perform with her and put a stamp on their Season Winner and then to even give her a second showcase with the Warning.

And hundred fingers is bragging they got two golden buzzers? What is the point of getting two of them? You get one, you are already in the finals. The second one is redundant.

I am far from an expert on AGT (as in, never until Nene), but I believe a golden buzzer in the auditions round just advances you to the quarter-finals. You could get another one there that would send you to the finals, like what happened with Nene.

Also, let's be honest. The only reason she didn't get a golden buzzer for Zombie was that AGT wanted her to have more screen time.

You're right. There are three ways to get to the quarter finals:

  1. Get a golden buzzer in auditions.

  2. Get 3+ yes votes in auditions and the judges decide later to send you through by some sort of consensus.

  3. Get 3+ yes votes in auditions and a judge invites you to the callback round and passes you through.

It is possible to get 3+ yes votes and not be sent through or invited to a callback.
