America's Got Talent (season 9)

The ninth season of America's Got Talent, an American talent show competition, was broadcast in the United States during 2014, from May 27 to September 17 on NBC. Following the previous season, the program underwent a number of changes that included the changing of the second audition stage, the involvement of a third-party TV program to appoint a place in the live rounds for a single participant, and the inclusion of a public WildCard act. The "Golden Buzzer" format, incorporated into other editions within the Got Talent franchise, was also introduced but in an arrangement that would be changed in later seasons.

Season Overview

Auditions for the eighth season's competition took place during 2013 between October to December, within Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City and Providence, Rhode Island.[1] Contestants could also submit a video of their audition online.[2] The judges' auditions had a number of sessions held across three major venues the following year in 2014 - the first within February at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, while the other two took place in April within Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.[3]

Production on the season saw a number of changes being made. One of the most notable was the introduction of the "Golden Buzzer" format - a new addition that was bringing brought into other editions of the Got Talent franchise. While the format was assigned to the auditions round, it functioned differently in its first use, in that anyone who received the buzzer simply gained a place in the next stage automatically, though the host was not allowed to use it, and it was more typically used to save an act from elimination or breaking up a tied vote by judges in auditions; later seasons would alter the rules for the Golden Buzzer to match that of other editions.[4] Another notable change was to incorporate an online public vote - named after the sponsor, it allowed the public to grant an automatic place from the semi-finals into the finals via online voting through Google. However, the voting system's rule was that it would only allow the public to vote amongst the participants who were placed 5th, 6th and 7th in the main public vote respectively for a spot in the next stage; the remaining two who lost out would then face a vote from the judges for a final place in the next stage.[5] While the format remained for later seasons, with a different name following a change in sponsor, the ninth season is the only one in the program's history to allow this format to be used in the finals as well. Other changes included a reduction in the number of quarter-finalists and quarter-finals, and the second stage of auditions being conducted in New York, rather than in Las Vegas - while it retained the same format of "Vegas Verdicts", it was made more competitive under the title of "Judgement Week" and originally intended to have a live audience in the segment before the idea was later dropped.[6]

One notable element to the ninth season that was unusual for America's Got Talent to do in production of a season - a decision that would not be repeated in later seasons - was to involve another television show, The Today Show, in a collaboration to appoint an outsider into the competition's live round. The involvement of a 3rd party in the competition's audition process focused on a simple arrangement - participants wanting a place in the competition could submit a recording of their performance on the website for The Today Show, in which the top three entrants conducted a further performance in late July 2014 on the program, and the best of these voted by their viewers earned a place in the live rounds of the competition.[7][8] Of the participants who auditioned for this season, 48 secured a place in the live quarter-finals, with twelve quarter-finalists in each one. Around 20 quarter-finalists advanced to and were split between the two semi-finals - including four WildCards selected by the judges - with 12 semi-finalists securing a place in the finals, and 6 finalists securing a place in the grand-final. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this season:
