The live shows have arrived on America’s Got Talent Season 20 in the 2025 TV schedule, which fans have likely been waiting for after weeks and weeks of pre-taped auditions… but the timing couldn’t have been worse for singer Jourdan Blue. He’s felt like a frontrunner all season, getting a golden buzzer in the Season 20 premiere, accumulating millions of streaming views, and having the audience chanting his name when the tallies were being read in the live quarterfinals results episode. But he was sick with food poisoning before his first AGT live performance, and made the bold choice to perform anyway.
The NOLA-based singer revealed shortly after his live rendition of Calum Scott’s “Biblical” that he’d thrown up three times before walking out on stage, and the results episode the next night revealed how close of a call it was. Medics had been called to tend to him, and it wasn’t guaranteed until moments before his turn came whether he’d be able to perform live. (You can find both the performance and the results episode streaming with a Peacock subscription now.)
