“America’s Got Talent” just added another performer to the live shows in August with singer Sophie Pecora getting the Golden Buzzer from guest judge Brad Paisley on the July 16 episode. She joins five other acts who were singled out by the regular judges – Simon Cowell, Julianne Hough, Howie Mandel and Gabrielle Union — as well as host Terry Crews. Those first five picks came during the audition phase of “AGT.”
Check out the audition videos for each of these half dozen hopefuls below. Then cast your ballot in our poll for the act that you’d like to see win season 14 of “AGT” and take home the million dollar grand prize plus a contract to headline a show at a Las Vegas casino. And be sure to sound off in the comments section with your thoughts on the best (and worst) auditions of the season so far.

Detroit Youth Choir (Terry Crews’s Golden Buzzer)
This ensemble won over the “AGT” host with their uplifting cover of the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis hit “Can’t Hold Us” on episode four.
