'''Season six''' of ''[[America's Got Talent]]'', a reality television series which was not aired on any channel, as [[MediaCorp Channel 5]] did not air it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/episode-guide/season-6/326222/|title=America's Got Talent - Seasons - Season 6 - Episode Guide |publisher=NBC|accessdate=July 15, 2011}}</ref> The show was hosted by [[Nick Cannon]], while [[Piers Morgan]], [[Sharon Osbourne]] and [[Howie Mandel]] returned as judges. On the finale which was not aired, [[Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.]] was announced as the winner of season six. This season was the last with Morgan as a judge, as he did not return for [[America's Got Talent (season 7)|season 7]], where [[Howard Stern]] replaced him.


==Preliminary auditions==

===Selection and elimination===
}}


Similar to last season, the judges split all the acts into three groups. Those in ''Group A'' were referred to as "the judges' favorites", and performed on Day 1 of Las Vegas Week. Those in ''Group B'' were seen as less likely to advance by the judges, and were declared "standby acts." These acts perform for the remaining spots after Group A on Day 2. The auditions of the ''Group C'' acts were declared by the judges to be the best and these acts moved on to compete in the Top 48 directly without performing in Las Vegas.
The sixth season of American [[talent show]] competition series ''[[America's Got Talent]]'' was broadcast on [[NBC]] from May 31 to September 14, 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/episode-guide/season-6/326222/|title=America's Got Talent - Seasons - Season 6 - Episode Guide |publisher=NBC|access-date=July 15, 2011}}</ref> No major changes were made in the program's format, although a number of participants who auditioned later dropped out due to obligations outside the competition. However, the season attracted media attention after one of its participants established a world record during their performance on the program.


This year, the judges could also eliminate any act immediately after their performance if they felt the audition was sub-standard. Any audition that was at this level is in italics.
The sixth season was won by jazz singer [[Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.]], with [[silhouette]] dance group Silhouettes finishing in second, and glow-light dance group [[Team iLuminate]] placing third. During its broadcast, the season averaged around over 11.8 million viewers, with its opening episode attracting around 15.28 million viewers (the highest viewing figures for a season of ''America's Got Talent'' to premiere with).


===Group A: Judges' Favorites===
== Season overview ==
Auditions for the sixth season's competition took place during Winter until mid-Spring 2011, in eight cities in the United States including [[Los Angeles]], [[Atlanta]], [[Houston]], [[Seattle]], [[Minneapolis]], and [[New York City|New York]]. Auditions held within [[Denver]] and [[Chicago]] were not filmed. Due to weather conditions, Piers Morgan was unable to attend some of the auditions held in Minneapolis, though this did not disrupt production. The sixth season had a number of participants who auditioned, but dropped out despite securing a place in the live rounds, after determining that it would conflict with other obligations each had. In an interview held during May 2011 on ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'', Howie Mandel said the program was the most dangerous, indicating that ambulances had to be called six times during auditions after a number of participants injured themselves during their act. One of the most significant events of this season involved Darren Taylor, who operated under his stage name of [[Professor Splash]] and established a new world record, during one of his live round performances for the highest shallow dive.<ref>

==Round chart==
The following is the list of the 48 quarterfinalists who passed through Las Vegas Week, the 12 contestants that were picked from a separate circuit of YouTube auditions, and one Wild Card Act who was originally eliminated in Las Vegas.

''Italic'' indicates the act was picked from a YouTube audition and was not featured in the preliminary auditions or Las Vegas Week; therefore, the quarterfinals were their debut to the competition.

On July 27, 2010, [[Piers Morgan]] announced that he had signed a three-year contract with the show, on ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialpiersmorgan.com/2010/07/28/piers-on-the-tonight-show-with-jay-leno/|title=Piers Morgan Interview with Jay Leno|publisher=Officialpiersmorgan.com|accessdate=August 16, 2010| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20100803004553/http://www.officialpiersmorgan.com/2010/07/28/piers-on-the-tonight-show-with-jay-leno/| archivedate= August 3, 2010 <!--DASHBot-->| deadurl= no}}</ref> The show's taping began in March 2011 and all of the judges were present which confirmed that all three judges, as well as host [[Nick Cannon]], were returning. However, in November 2011, Morgan announced that he would not be returning to the show, due to him focusing on his CNN show, ''[[Piers Morgan Tonight]]''.<ref>[http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/11/09/piers-morgan-leaving-americas-got-talent/ Piers Morgan leaving 'America's Got Talent']</ref>

NBC started promos for the show during the premiere of ''[[The Voice (U.S. TV series)|The Voice]]'' on April 26, also noting a change in some of the color schemes in the logo with the United States in the foreground. The judge's desk is converted to be more like that of ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]'' with a three-dimensional "X".

On May 16, 2011, Mandel had a television appearance on ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' where he talked about the show. Mandel described the show as the most dangerous. During the interview, he said that the ambulance came to the set about six times to care for some of the injured contestants.

This year, the show generally carried over its format from the previous season. The auditions process and Las Vegas Week were unchanged, while the live shows, which consisted of multiple rounds of quarterfinals (including two special weeks for YouTube acts and "Wild Card" performers), two weeks of semifinals, and two subsequent final rounds, had only minor changes from season five.

Season 7

Season six of America's Got Talent, a reality television series which was not aired on any channel, as MediaCorp Channel 5 did not air it.[1] The show was hosted by Nick Cannon, while Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel returned as judges. On the finale which was not aired, Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. was announced as the winner of season six. This season was the last with Morgan as a judge, as he did not return for season 7, where Howard Stern replaced him.

Preliminary auditions

Auditions for season six were held in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York City, Denver and Chicago. All auditions were not aired on television.

For the second year, a separate auditions round was also held on YouTube, with twelve acts advancing to the quarterfinal round to compete with the Top 48.

Las Vegas Week

The first episode of Las Vegas Week was not aired.

The second episode of Las Vegas Week was not aired.

This season, acts that passed through to Las Vegas Week performed at the Planet Hollywood Casino and Resort on the Las Vegas Strip, the same venue that hosted America's Got Talent Live in 2009.

Selection and elimination

Similar to last season, the judges split all the acts into three groups. Those in Group A were referred to as "the judges' favorites", and performed on Day 1 of Las Vegas Week. Those in Group B were seen as less likely to advance by the judges, and were declared "standby acts." These acts perform for the remaining spots after Group A on Day 2. The auditions of the Group C acts were declared by the judges to be the best and these acts moved on to compete in the Top 48 directly without performing in Las Vegas.

This year, the judges could also eliminate any act immediately after their performance if they felt the audition was sub-standard. Any audition that was at this level is in italics.

Production

On July 27, 2010, Piers Morgan announced that he had signed a three-year contract with the show, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[8] The show's taping began in March 2011 and all of the judges were present which confirmed that all three judges, as well as host Nick Cannon, were returning. However, in November 2011, Morgan announced that he would not be returning to the show, due to him focusing on his CNN show, Piers Morgan Tonight.[9]

NBC started promos for the show during the premiere of The Voice on April 26, also noting a change in some of the color schemes in the logo with the United States in the foreground. The judge's desk is converted to be more like that of Britain's Got Talent with a three-dimensional "X".

On May 16, 2011, Mandel had a television appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where he talked about the show. Mandel described the show as the most dangerous. During the interview, he said that the ambulance came to the set about six times to care for some of the injured contestants.

This year, the show generally carried over its format from the previous season. The auditions process and Las Vegas Week were unchanged, while the live shows, which consisted of multiple rounds of quarterfinals (including two special weeks for YouTube acts and "Wild Card" performers), two weeks of semifinals, and two subsequent final rounds, had only minor changes from season five.
