America's Got Talent (season 6)

The sixth season of America's Got Talent, an American talent show competition, began broadcasting in the United States during 2011, from May 31 to September 14 on NBC.[1] This season is most notable for featuring a participant who entered the competition and conducted a performance that set a world record for the highest shallow dive. Although there were no major changes in the program's format or with its panel and host, nor any major disruptions to production, this season's competition did see a number of acts who secured a place in the live rounds being forced to drop out due to obligations on other events that would conflict with their participation on the program.

Season chronology

The sixth season was won by jazz singer Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr., with silhouette dance group Silhouettes finishing in second, and glow-light dance group Team iLuminate placing third. During its broadcast, the season averaged around 11.82 million viewers, with its opening episode attracting the highest viewing figures for a season of America's Got Talent to begin on with, at around 15.28 million viewers.

Season Overview

Auditions for the sixth season's competition took place across Winter - mid-Spring 2011, across eight cities around the United States. Production staff filmed those held within the cities of Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis, and New York;auditions held within the cities of Denver and Chicago were not filmed. Due to weather conditions, Piers Morgan was unable to attend some of the auditions held within Minneapolis, though this did not disrupt production. Unusually, the sixth season saw a number of participants who went to audition for this year's competition, being forced to drop out despite securing a place in the live rounds, after determining that it would conflict with other obligations each had that year. In an interview held on May 16, 2011, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Howie Mandel described the program as the most dangerous for that year, indicating in his interview that ambulances had to be called six times during auditions after a number of participants injured themselves during their act. One of the most notable events of this season was the involvement of Darren Taylor, who operated under his stage name of Professor Splash and established a new world record, during one of his live round performances, for the highest shallow dive.[2]

Of the participants who auditioned for this season, 61 secured a place in the live quarter-finals, with twelve quarter-finalists in each one - eleven of these acts would later be given a second chance in the Wildcard quarter-final, after losing their initial quarter-final. Around 24 of these advanced to and were split between the two semi-finals, with 10 semi-finalists securing a place in the finals, and 4 finalists securing a place in the grand-final. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this season:
