  "account": "Ten more acts faced the pressure of the Season 21 semifinals on Wednesday, September 2 as America's Got Talent revealed the next set of quarterfinalists. This week's competitors included acrobatic duo Holland & Sienna, singers Isaac Atkins and Elsie, contortionist Maria, guitarist Kameron Marshall, comedian Daniel Alvarez, and sword swallower Herwan Legaillard. Most of these acts received disappointing news during the live performance show, with only one act escaping the stress-fest. This season's quarterfinalists performed in front of regular judges Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofia Vergara, as well as guest judge Kenan Thompson, who filled in for Simon Cowell. Terry Crews' lengthy pauses added to the dramatic presentation of the results.",
