DIFFERENCES WITH SEASON 1

Unlike in season 1, where the acts were divided into four groups after the audition and sent straight to the semifinals, the acts were sent to Las Vegas for a Boot Camp , where they could perfect their skills. In Las Vegas , the acts were divided into two groups, "music" and "variety". The judges chose 35 acts from both groups to make it to their short list; afterwards (with no additional performances after the first division of talent), the judges chose twenty acts to move on to the semifinals.

In the season 1 semifinals, within each group of 14 or 15 acts, only 10 would perform. In Season 2, the 20 remaining acts were divided into 2 groups of 10. America eliminated 5 from each group. The remaining 10 competed head to head, with some eliminated each week.

There are no more "judges' choice" and white check marks to signify approval. The judges may still press their X's anytime during the performance, but this rarely happens, as only Piers Morgan has used his button in the Season 2 semifinals so far. David Hasslehoff once pressed his buzzer, but by accident while Sharon Osborne was giving Boy Britney a comment.
