Host Terry Crews revealed that singer Alex Sampson, illusionist Young-Min, and drone group Sky Elements had advanced to the semi-finals.
The acts join dance group Airfootworks, who automatically advanced to the finals after receiving judge Howie Mandel’s Golden Buzzer on Tuesday.
They also join Richard Goodall, Ashes & Arrows, Roni Sagi & Rhythm, and the Hakuna Matata Acrobats, who advanced last week.
After the episode aired on Wednesday night, the news was shared by America’s Got Talent on Instagram.
In the comments, many fans showed disappointment over some of the worthy acts that were sent home.
ROBBED & RIGGED?
One, in particular, was Brazilian break dancer Bboy Samuka.
The dancer impressed the judges and audience as he took the stage with only one leg, after previously receiving a leg amputation due to cancer.
“The guy with the one leg was robbed!” one person wrote in the comments.
“So dude with one legs didn’t make it ?” a second asked.
“Alex and Sky Elements are mid. It should’ve been the breakdancing guy and Brooke Bailey,” said a third.
“How did Alex beat out the 1 leg guy that insane. If he went on idol he’d never make it,” a fourth wondered.
“I will miss @bboysamuka and @ashleerosemontague,” another said.
Someone else said they “walked out the door” after seeing the Wednesday night results.
America's Got Talent judges
THOUSANDS of hopefuls have graced the America's Got Talent stage to showcase their abilities.
Simon Cowell – On October 22, 2015, it was revealed Simon was replacing Howard Stern on the AGT judges panel. He became a judge during the program’s 11th season and has since remained a series regular.
Ten acts that competed in the quarterfinals took the stage on Wednesday for the tense results show.
Awaiting their fate — along with the winners and Bboy Samuka — were Ashlee Montague, Biko’s Manna, Brooke Bailey, Legión, NiNi, and Schumacher.
After a slow elimination, the Top 5 consisted of Alex, Young-Min, Sky Elements, BBoy Samuka, and ballet dancer Ashlee Montague.
Despite impressing fans, both dancers were sent home next.
BUZZER DRAMA
The elimination came after some drama went down during Tuesday night’s live quarterfinals.

Viewers saw Airfootworks be sent through to the finals — but not without a fight between the judges.
After their performance, an impressed Simon Cowell , 64, said he was “going to get fired” before reaching for the buzzer.
Howie Mandel , 68, quickly threw his hand over Simon’s to grab the button and immediately yelled at his fellow judge for pulling the move.
While doing press on the red carpet after the show, Howie threw a few verbal jabs Simon’s way while recounting the moment.

In footage taken by The U.S. Sun, Howie was seen yelling at Simon, “Why did you pick my act? You tried to steal my Golden Buzzer.”
Simon ignored the upset judge and posed with Heidi Klum , 51, before Howie marched back into the frame and purposefully stood in front of Simon.
Howie confirmed the whole situation was not a PR stunt and said he wasn’t sure if the two could make peace.
Heidi noted that Simon could “do whatever he wants ” as the show’s creator and boss.
