America’s Got Talent Season 18 returned on Tuesday night for another episode of auditions. This marked the first week without a Golden Buzzer act. However, that doesn’t mean there weren’t plenty of impressive auditions to watch.
There Was No Golden Buzzer on AGT This Week
There should be at least three Golden Buzzers left this season — one from Heidi Klum, one from Sofia Vergara, and one group Golden Buzzer from the judges and host. However, none of the acts who performed during this week’s show earned the honor.
Fans might have expected it as they watched singer Lachune take the stage at the very end of the night. The vocal coach said she was choosing to take her own advice and pursue her dreams. She delivered a beautiful cover of “Yellow” by Coldplay. All four judges voted to send her through, but none of them hit the Golden Buzzer.
They also didn’t hit it for Sangsoon Kim, a Korean magician who made shoes change color before their very eyes. However, Simon Cowell did call him “everything we want on this show.” He also earned four “yes” votes to move on.
Sangsoon wasn’t the only magician who impressed the judges. Ten-year-old Ryland from the UK also wowed them as he predicted which word they would create out of drawings. The panel voted to send him through.

Who Else Impressed the Judges This Week?
Tuesday’s episode opened with a performance from the Sharpe Family Singers, who sang “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana. The judges gave them a standing ovation and voted to send them through. Heidi Klum said it’s her dream to do something like that with her own family.
Another standout act from the night came from Adrian Stoica and his dog Hurricane. They performed a hilarious routine in which Hurricane helped Adrian during his morning routine. Howie Mandel loved that Hurricane performed tricks even when Adrian wasn’t on stage. The pair earned four “yes” votes.
Other impressive acts from this week included Chen Lei, who performed a shocking balancing act from an incredible height; country duo Trailer Flowers, who were stopped by Cowell and asked to sing another song; self-taught dancer Erica Coffelt; keyboard-playing comedian Barry Brewer Jr.; and unique tap dancer Justin Jackson.
