 America’s Got Talent does not reveal the placings of each act during the live shows to the public in the same way Britain’s Got Talent does. Thus, I have ranked the acts based on what the results would look like. I check statistics on YouTube videos to help assist me in deciding which acts are more popular than others. I take into account that singing acts might receive more votes than variety acts that get more views/likes on YouTube.

 DISCLAIMER: How you personally feel about these acts does not always match up with how other people vote



 Week 1 qrt 1   1st Paul Zerdin 2nd Drew Lynch 3rd Piff the Magic Dragon 4th Benton Blount 5th Siro-A 6th Samantha Johnson 7th Alondra Santos 8th The Gentlemen 9th Showproject 10th Triple Threat 11th Vita Radionova 12th Craig & Michelle

 Notes: Piff and Triple Threat faltered in the performances. All golden buzzer acts were in the top 5. Mysterious wildcard and fodder acts were sent home. Siro-A was already less popular than the top 3.

 Week 2 qrt 2   1st Derek Hughes 2nd Uzeyer Novruzov 3rd Sharon Irving 4th The CraigLewis Band 5th Arielle Baril 6th Ira 7th Freckled Sky 8th 3 Shades of Blue 9th DM nation 10th Myq Kaplan 11th Animation Crew 12th Damone Rippy

 Notes: Derek & Uzeyer were definitely the top 2. A little unsure about Sharon vs CLB. The 6th-8th place acts were polarizing and close in popularity. Animation Crew got buzzed. Damone was outdoor fodder.

 Week 3 qrt 3           1st Oz Pearlman 2nd The Professional Regurgitator 3rd Freelusion 4th Mountain Faith Band 5th Alicia Michili 6th Daniella Mass 7th Gary Vider 8th Benjamin Yonattan 9th Selected of God 10th Chapkis Dance Company 11th Metal Mulisha Fitz Army 12th DADitude!

 Notes:  Oz and Stevie then Freelusion came out on top. Gary and Daniella were extremely close in the Dunkin’ Save. Metal Mulisha were unpopular. DADitude! blew it.

 Week 1 Semi           1st Drew Lynch 2nd Oz Pearlman 3rd Derek Hughes 4th Benton Blount 5th The CraigLewis Band 6th Samantha Johnson 7th Siro-A 8th Mountain Faith Band 9th Arielle Baril 10th Metal Mulisha Fitz Army 11th Ira

 Notes: YouTube views matched up with the top 3. 3 singing acts kept Siro-A out of the Dunkin’ Save. The other acts weren’t popular enough. The wildcard was a bust. Ira got buzzed.

 Week 2 Semi           1st Paul Zerdin & 2nd Piff the Magic Dragon 3rd The Professional Regurgitator 4th Uzeyer Novruzov 5th Gary Vider 6th Freelusion 7th Daniella Mass 8th Sharon Irving 9th Alondra Santos 10th 3 Shades of Blue 11th Alicia Michili

 Notes: YouTube views conveniently matched up with the top 6 acts. Sharon vs Daniella are the only placements I’m unsure about. The other singing acts were unpopular.

 Finals                       6th place Benton Blount           7th place Piff the Magic Dragon                8th place Gary Vider                 9th place Uzeyer Novruzov                                 10th place Derek Hughes

 Notes: Benton had an active fanbase. Piff was very popular but faltered. Gary Vider was lacking in popularity. Uzeyer and Derek turned in their weakest performances.
