Asia's Got Talent (AGT) is the regional version of the Got Talent franchise that will be airing on AXN Asia.[1] It is a talent show that will feature singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other performers of all ages competing for a prize of US$100,000 and an opportunity to perform at the Marina Bay Sands.[2] It aired on March 12, 2015 across 20 countries in Asia.[3][4]

The show will be hosted by Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez; while the judges will be Anggun, David Foster, Melanie C, and Vanness Wu.[4] Melanie C would be the third member of the Spice Girls to become a Got Talent judge (after Mel B and Geri Halliwell), while Anggun would be judge of a second Got Talent franchise after sitting in the panel in the second season of Indonesia's Got Talent. This show also co-hosted by Singaporean Youtuber and Power98FM DJ's Dee Kosh for sneak previews, highlights, recaps, and behind the scenes.

Auditionees were also allowed to submit their audition videos online via the show's official website.

Auditions in front of the judges (and a live audience) were held for several days in early January 2015 at the Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios in Johor, Malaysia.[17] They would be screened across five episodes.[7]

The judges' auditions also feature the Golden Buzzer. Each judge would have one chance to use the Golden Buzzer. The so-called Golden Acts, those on whom the Golden Buzzer is used, would automatically advance to the Semi-Finals. So far at the time of airing, Wu and Melanie C had been seen using the Golden Buzzer, Wu on Japanese popping act Time Machine, Melanie C on Chinese acrobat-dancer couple Gao Lin and Liu Xin.

Below are the acts who successfully passed their auditions with their fates shown in full in the episodes they appear.

The Semi-Finals and Finals will be held at the Marina Bay Sands.[7]
