Hairo Torres, Barbara Padilla, Recycled Percussion, Lawrence Beamen and Drew Stevyns progressed to the finale during last night's semi-final episode.
"This is the big stage of the competition," said judge Piers Morgan.
"This is where we choose the acts we believe are worth a million dollars."
Viewers had complete power over selecting the five finalists after Morgan and fellow panellists David Hasselhoff and Sharon Osbourne forefeited their right to choose last week when they declined to send an act home.
The successful acts will now join last week's picks the Texas Tenors, Grandma Lee, Kevin Skinner, Fab Five and the Voices of Glory in next week's final.
The top ten will compete to win a $1 million prize and the chance to headline a Las Vegas show.
