Notable past contestants

  • Jenna Renae, who was eliminated in week 2 of the Judges' Cuts, later tried out for the final season of American Idol in 2016. She ended up finishing in the top 24.

Trivia

  • Season 10 modified the rules of the Golden Buzzer. Instead of sending an act to the Vegas Round and ignoring the other judges' votes, the buzzer now sends an act straight to the live shows.
  • Howard Stern stepped down from the panel after the conclusion of the season.
  • Season 10 is the first season in the current format where at least one act that originally made the live shows withdrew from the competition.
