The thirteenth season was won by close-up magician Shin Lim, with acrobatic group Zurcaroh finishing second, and electric violinist Brian King Joseph placing third. During its broadcast, the season averaged around 11.15 million viewers.
Season Overview
Open auditions were held in late 2017, within Orlando, Cincinnati, Savannah, Milwaukee, Houston, Las Vegas, New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles,[3] with producers also accepting online auditions.[4] As with the previous year, the judges' auditions were held and filmed in March at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles.[5] The Judge Cuts stage of the competition saw the involvement of actor and comedian Ken Jeong, actress Olivia Munn, singer Martina McBride, and comedian Chris Hardwick.[2] There were no major changes made to the program in any aspects, but Simon Cowell was given allowances to halt the performances of two participants - both singers - during the Judge Cuts and asking them to do a different song, after he disliked each singer's original choice.
Of the participants who auditioned for this season, 36 secured a place in the live quarter-finals, with twelve quarter-finalists in each one - amongst these included: acrobatic Zurcaroh, singer Michael Ketterer, singer Courtney Hadwin, singer Amanda Mena, singer Makayla Phillips,[2] who had each received a golden buzzer from the main judges; choir Voices of Hope, choir Angel City Chorale, ballroom dancers Quin and Misha, rapper Flau’jae,[2] who had each received a golden buzzer from the guest judges; and opera singer Daniel Emmet, novelty water-spitting act Human Fountains, multimedia performance group Front Pictures, who were chosen as WildCard quarter-finalists. Around 22 quarter-finalists advanced to and split between the two semi-finals - including Front Pictures, chosen again by the judges, this time as their WildCard semi-finalist - with 10 semi-finalists securing a place in the finals. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this season:
