Each year I’ve been doing my best to list all the various America’s Got Talent music. I’m actually trying to get the people from America’s Got Talent to send me the music from the shows, but that is still in the works.

It’s really hard to figure out the various music from the America’s Got Talent auditions, because it’s not very standard. However, with the help of all of you out there, I think we can create a pretty good list of music that’s used on the America’s Got Talent premiere. If you know a song, then leave a comment and I’ll update the post with the songs as people share them or as I find them.
