Next, Avery Dixon is called along with Stefanny and Yeremy. America has fallen in love with Avery because he’s moving on to the final results later in the show. Ava Swiss and Don McMillan head to the front of the stage next. In a shocking turn, Don is headed to the top 5 of this round and not Ava. Simon Cowell is noticeably surprised by the results. “You guys make me full of joy. Thank you so much,” a stunned Don says.
There are 3 acts left in the top 5 of this quarterfinal: Drake Milligan, Ben Lapidus, and Amazing Veranica & Her Incredible Friends. Drake is moving on, while Ben and Veranica are headed home.
