Show format Contestants must showcase their ability within 2–4 minutes. As the judges watch the performance, they may hit their buzzer (which lights up forms an X) if they aren't satisfied. With four Xs, an audition can immediately be stopped. Otherwise, the judges typically deliberate if a performer should go through.
In season 4, a new rule was introduced that required performers to receive at least 3 yes votes from the judges in order to move on to the next round.
