WSDT Learns Fate Tonight

"America's Got Talent" Wild Card competition voting results, beginning 9 p.m. on NBC.

Performing a dance choreographed in less than a week since being chosen by Sharon Osbourne as a Wild Card act, the Dance Team (WSDT) shocked the judges with their zombie themed routine Tuesday night on America's Got Talent.

Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel agreed the presentation was not as strong as last week's performance, but audience members seemed to disagree.  The team received great applause.

On Wednesday night, votes will be revealed. WSDT and the 11 other Wild Card acts will learn which four are moving on to join those already in the semi-finals. The decision is based on voting.
