Judges’ Comments:
Heidi Klum said it was not an easy song and praised Annie for trying the song. She said Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande will be very proud of Annie. She concluded by saying, “You should be very proud of yourself. Well done, good luck for you tonight.”
Sofia Vergara commented it didn’t look like Annie was nervous when she was singing. “You feel like and look so comfortable, like you’re having the best time. I love it, I love that you picked this song and I love your outfit,” she said.
Howie Mandel thinks Annie’s a superstar but said her last performance was better. “I didn’t really love the choreography, it seemed more theater than music. And I like when you’re yourself. But I think you’re a star.”
America’s Got Talent Season 15
This season is most notable for its production being affected by the COVID-19 or coronavirus pandemic in 2020, which impacted audition sessions. The program initially moved to filming without an audience present at auditions, before ultimately suspending production. Auditions were later allowed to continue, but via online applications from those quarantined in their homes.
The production staff decided to push through with the broadcast as planned and premiere on May 26.
Production resumed the week of June 22, 2020, filming on a film backlot in Simi Valley, decorated to look like a drive-in movie theater. Everyone, including the judges and host Terry Crews, wore masks when not on camera. The Judge Cuts round was reduced from four episodes to one, and the acts were reduced from 72 to 60. The live shows will feature 44 acts over four weeks, compared to 36 acts appearing over three weeks last season.
Producers decided to include a virtual audience for the Live Shows and Universal Studios Hollywood was chosen as the venue for performances to take place.
Prior to the first quarter-final’s live broadcast, Cowell became involved in an electric bike accident that left him with a severe back injury. Cowell had surgery to repair the damage, and the production staff recruited guest judges like Kelly Clarkson and Kenan Thompson to stand in for him until doctors would allow him to return to AGT.
