NBC's top-rated summer series "America's Got Talent" completes the semi-final round today (Tuesday, August 31, 9-11 p.m. ET) and the live results show on Wednesday, September 1 (9-10 p.m. ET) will include exciting performances from pop sensation Jason Derulo and Wynn Las Vegas' "Le Reve." Five more acts will move on to round out the Top 10 and are just two weeks away from possibly winning the $1 million prize on September 15.

Jason Derulo will perform his hit single "Ridin' Solo." The Miami-born singer has ruled the airwaves this year with his three smash hit singles, "Whatcha Say," "In My Head," and "Ridin' Solo," off his self-titled debut album, "Jason Derulo," which debuted at No. 4 on the Digital Albums chart and No. 11 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart in March. With the triple-platinum debut single "Whatcha Say" and the platinum second single "In My Head," the 20-year-old singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor became the first male solo artist to score consecutive No. 1 hits on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart in the chart's 17-year-history with his first two entries. Derulo's third single "Ridin' Solo," has been certified platinum in the U.S., while its accompanying video has earned more than 18 million views on YouTube. Derulo has sold more than 10 million singles and 600,000 albums worldwide. An uncategorizable blend of pop, rock, electronic, and R&B elements, the album "Jason Derulo" showcases this exciting newcomer's many talents.

The cast of "Le Reve" will travel to Los Angeles from Wynn Las Vegas to showcase elements of the stage production including the high-energy Red Men scene and the breathtaking Hand-to-Hand duo. Wynn Las Vegas and DRAGONE redefined the traditional theatrical experience with Le R?ve (The Dream). The evocative aqua spectacle in-the-round features an ambitious blend of aerial acrobatics, provocative choreography and outrageous antics from the colorful characters. Le R?ve's elaborate effects and powerful performances conjure an imaginary world, at once intensely beautiful and breathtaking.
