Instead of an audition consisting of performers who submitted their acts on Myspace, as has been done in previous seasons, the year contained a quarterfinal made up of twelve acts who submitted their auditions on YouTube ( eleven selected by the judges and one selected by online voters ). Because of the inclusion of an additional quarterfinal, only four acts were selected to move on each week, instead of five. Additionally, there was also a separate wild card show ( the first since season 1 ), consisting of acts brought back by the judges to perform after being originally eliminated in either Las Vegas Week or previous quarterfinals. The semifinal consisted of 24 acts this year. Ten of the 24 passed through to the Top 10 round, from which six were eliminated by public voting, leaving four to compete in the finals. Preliminary auditions ( edIT ) The fifth season of America 's Got Talent, premiered on NBC on June 1, 2010. This season, auditions were held in six major U.S. cities : Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Universal Orlando Resort, Portland, and Chicago. Host Nick Cannon and judges Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne returned to the show. Howie Mandel joined the show, taking the place of David Hasselhoff as the third judge. The auditions lasted for ten episodes and 88 acts advanced. Las Vegas Week ( edIT ) From 70,000 nationwide auditions, the judges advanced the top 108 acts to Las Vegas to compete head to head for a spot in the Top 48. On their way to Las Vegas, the judges reviewed the audition tapes and divided the contestants into 3 groups. Not all groups that were shown to have passed the preliminary auditions were shown in the Las Vegas Week episodes. Those in Group A were referred to as `` the judges ' favorites, '' and performed on Day 1 of Las Vegas ( Episode 511 ). Those in Group B, were not seen as favorites by the judges and were declared `` standby acts. '' These acts performed for 11 remaining spots after Group A ( Episode 512 ). 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 live shows directly without performing in Las Vegas.
