Template:Infobox reality music competition The fifth season of America's Got Talent, a American television reality show talent competition, premiered on the NBC network on June 1, 2010.

Preliminary Auditions

Auditions this season were held in Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Universal Orlando Resort, Portland, and Chicago.

Las Vegas Week

From 70,000 nationwide auditions, the judges advanced the top 108 acts to Las Vegas to compete head to head for a spot in the Top 48. On their way to Las Vegas, the Judges reviewed the audition tapes and divided the contestants into 3 groups. Not all groups that were shown to have passed the preliminary auditions were shown in the Las Vegas Week episodes.

Those in Group A were referred to as "the judges' favorites," and performed on Day 1 of Las Vegas (Episode 511).

Those in Group B, were not seen as favorites and were declared "standby acts." These acts performed for 11 remaining spots after Group A (Episode 512).

The auditions of the Group C acts were declared by the judges to be the best and these acts moved on to compete in the live shows directly without performing in Las Vegas.
