Hit singer/songwriter/producer Mike Posner and the world famous dance crew - Jabbawockeez - will perform on NBC's top-rated summer series "America's Got Talent" Wednesday, July 28 (9-10 p.m. ET) while the show will also reveal live the next four acts going into the series' semi-finals.

Posner will perform his hit single "Cooler Than Me" from his upcoming album "31 Minutes to Takeoff," which will be released on August 10."Cooler Than Me" is conquering nearly every chart available currently sitting at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, #6 on the Digital Songs Chart, and soaring in the Top 5 at Top 40, Top 10 at Rhythm formats and has sold over 1 million downloads. Posner just announced "The Up In The Air Tour" his highly anticipated nationwide fall headline tour. This past May, the Los Angeles Times declared that 22-year-old Posner "is on a quest to be pop's next best thing." A week later, Posner opened for Drake at his sold out Nokia Theater show and shortly after received his bachelor's degree from the prestigious Duke University.

The Jabbawockeez are a world-famous dance crew who first gained fame with their performance on "America's Got Talent" in 2006, before going on to other tv shows and commercials, which included Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and many others who are considered the best at what they do. They also toured as the opening act for New Kids On The Block proving that a dance crew could successfully perform as their own act and not just as background dancers. They continue to break down doors in the dance world and are the first dance crew to ever headline their own show in Las Vegas. Their Las Vegas show, "MÜS.I.C.," will return for a 3rd run this August 19-25 at the MGM Grand. They will release a full-length album with their debut single "Robot Remains" on August 19, 2010 through iTunes and their performance on America's Got Talent will feature this single as well as give a sneak peek of their "MÜS.I.C." show.

In its fifth season, "America's Got Talent," airs Tuesdays (9-11 p.m. ET) and Wednesdays (9-10 p.m. ET) on NBC. Nick Cannon hosts. Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan star as the celebrity panel of judges.
