More details about Season 17 of America's Got Talent

The past five rounds of auditions have seen great talents showcased on the stage. The judges have already given out their designated golden buzzers. Host Terry Crews first pressed the golden buzzer for saxophonist Avery Dixon, followed by Howie Mandel choosing singer Madison Baez.

The golden buzzer line-up continued with Simon Cowell choosing vocalist Sara James in the third episode and Sofia Vergara picking the Lebanese dance group, Mayyas. Heidi Klum gave the final golden buzzer to singer Lily Meola after listening to her heartwarming original song.

Over the years, America's Got Talent has also been criticized for aiming most of their golden buzzers at singers. Fans felt that the advantage should ideally be distributed across talents, considering the show was a reality talent competition.

The show's official Instagram page released snippets from the auditions of two contestants.

Magician Yu Hojin is all set to enthrall viewers and judges with his magic skills where he will make feathers appear out of thin air.

Amanda Mammana will prove to the audience that she is so much more than her speech impediment, and will impress everyone with her vocal range.
