Summary With just five spots left in the top 10, the 12 semifinalists who performed Tuesday night on Americas Got Talent would learn their fate in Wednesdays results show. Host Nick Cannon got straight to some results.

To the results: Nick called singer Debra Romer, illusionists Michael Grasso and Murray, and singer Nathaniel Kenyon to the stage. Piers said that any one of the four, in previous years, would have had a place in the final. But the talent level is higher this year. He said Debra isnt quite finished, and Nathaniel didnt have a great performance. He said the two magicians are great, but Murray fell a little flat on Tuesday, and Michael stood out. The act moving into the next round was ... Michael Grasso. Piers said he was very happy and that it was great to see a wild-card act get into the Top 10.

Be our guests: The cast of the Las Vegas show, Le Reve, stopped by to offer a sampling of the epic production. Later, singer Jason Derulo paid a visit to sing his new single, Ridin Solo.

Back to the results: Fighting Gravity and bike stuntman Jeremy VanSchoonhoven were called to the stage. Between the two acts on stage, Sharon said she was confused and said they both deserved to move on. Nick announced the act moving into the Top 10 was ... BOTH! The Fighting Gravity guys quickly went over to Jeremy and included him in their group celebration.

Next, Nick called dancer Haspop, little opera singer Jackie Evancho, and pianist Maestro Alexander Bui to the stage. To no ones surprise, Nick announced that the act moving to the next round was Jackie Evancho. Piers asked her what shed spend her $1 million on if she were to win, and she said she wasnt sure, but probably something for the animals.

Finally, Nick called the final three acts to the stage: Studio One Young Beast Society, aerialists Michael Lipari & Ashleigh Dejon, and singer Alice Tan Ridley. The first act out was Michael Lipari & Ashleigh Dejon.

That left Studio One Young Beast Society and Alice Tan Ridley, with the judges making the final call. For her part, Alice said she should move on because shes older and only has a few years left. One of Studio Ones dancers said the judges know how hard theyve worked and they can be sure that they wont be let down.

Piers said this was the cruelest moment of the entire season, and said it would be heartbreaking for one of them. He told Alice it was her bad fortune that there are so many good singers in the competition. He told Studio One Young Beast Society they were great. He said he was going with the act who made him feel like it should really be in the Top 10: Studio One.

Sharon said Alices performance Tuesday was sensational. She told the dancers they have great enthusiasm and that they were great role models for the youth of America. Sharon finally decided she was going to put Studio One Young Beast Society through. With two votes, the process was done and Alice Tan Ridley was sent packing -- one spot shy of the Top 10.
