Monday night\u2019s quarterfinal votes were cast, America decided and four acts advanced.<\/p>\n The performers with the most votes were singer Jourdan Blue, dance troupe LightWire and dance duo Sirca Marea, all of whom push on to the semifinals. One performer was spared from voting altogether: Steve Ray Ladson, who got the Live Golden Buzzer from Sofia Vergara, allowing him march straight to the finals.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the end of the journey, however, for Charity Lockhart, Shuler Kin, Tom Sandoval<\/a> & the Most Extras, Loco Pop Familia, CitiLimitz, Phobias and B Unique Crew.<\/p>\n Jourdan Blue, LightWire<\/a> and Sirca Marea will compete in the Top 12 on Tuesday, Sept. 16, with seven contestants (including the Golden Buzzer winner) going through to the AGT<\/em> Final to compete for the $1 million grand prize.<\/p>\n The second night of quarterfinals will air live next Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
