Three acts each week continued to the grand final - usually one with the public vote and the other two chosen by the judges. Semi-final 3 was different as two were sent through by the public and one by the judges' vote. There was only one buzzer in the semi-finals as Dan buzzed Sixxpaxx. The Rocking Chairs were the only golden buzzer act that didn't make it to the finals.
