Following the two-hour “Auditions 4” episode of “America’s Got Talent” season 19 on June 11, we asked YOU, “Who was your favorite act?” Among the contestants that performed for the judges were acrobatic crew Hypers Kids Africa, father and son rap duo Flewnt and Inkabee, world champion trick shot artist Venom Trick Shots, scientist Emotional BrainWaves, robot dancer Daniel Simu, singer songwriter Stephanie Rainey, trick artists DaksDominoes, guitarist Maya Neelakantan, roller skating group CPA Girona, chicken act mentalist Jo De Rijck, and family singing group L6.
Based on your votes in our Auditions 4 poll, it was a close race between a sentimental original song and the wits of a chicken for favorite act of the episode. Stephanie Rainey’s lyrics to “Please Don’t Go” about her young nephew that passed away touched the most hearts, earning 23% of the vote. Close behind was the chicken act/mentalist hybrid routine from Jo De Rijck with 19%. Headbanging guitarist Maya Neelakantan wasn’t far from the top either with 17% of the vote coming in for her.

Not present in our poll last week was the one act that received a Golden Buzzer. Howie used his first of two Golden Buzzer decisions to send Australian dance troupe Brent Street through to the live shows. He was impressed with their creativity on stage and their ability to surprise the judges with their routine.
Based on your previous votes, comedian Jacob Hoffman, who did not advance in the competition, was your favorite act from “Auditions 3” and Sofia Vergara‘s first Golden Buzzer was used on Argentinian dance group Legion. The favorite act “Auditions 2” was danger act Bao Cuong and the acts that Simon Cowell chose to receive his two Golden Buzzers were singer Liv Warfield and drone artists Sky Elements. Following “Auditions 1,” the favorite was dance group Los Osos High School and the acts that received the Golden Buzzer were comedian Learnmore Jonasi from Terry Crews and 55-year-old singer Richard Goodall from Heidi Klum.
