Agt Redemption could be a spin off that only includes acts that came in second place in their seasons. It would give them an opportunity to prove themselves with one last second chance. (Get it? They originally came in second.) The big twist could be that they find a way to let everyone vote (maybe film weekly and not pre-record.) They could even combine fantasy league formats with this. They could also expand the episodes by two, etc. There is so much they could do.

Quick prediction: Winner will be either Canada or France

Listen I’m 24 so I don’t actually have any problem with the content of sethwards act, but it’s the fact they’re allowing this in a crowd with minors in it. Because indecent exposure to minors is not a light crime, it just feels very strange to me how celebrated he is when that’s quite literally what is happening. Like this man is celebrated for a punch line of showing of his genitalia to a crowd with minors, but women can’t breastfeed in public without being worried about being harassed or snide comments. Not to mention the retoric about drag shows “only being sexual and a danger to our children” and drag queens being threatened, but this dude going on tv and doing this is fun and funny and totally fine.

What really has got me going about this is, “Heidiween” gate, listen I get it Heidi is a famous supermodel she’s doing fine, but there feels something so true, that a man that truly doesn’t really have a talent other than having no shame, reaching out his grubby paws for more then he deserves, and the fact atleast one news channel has done a segment that “Heidi could ONLY have gotten her costume ideas from sethward” i get it it’s probably a joke, but there are way funnier ways to do this, idk like him dressing up as Heidi stealing his ideas but there really isn’t anything that funny about what he’s doing, it seems like a man just desperate for more attention.

All in all my thoughts on Sethward are this, he seems gross and I feel like he’s probably way more of a creep than people are really willing to believe he’s capable of. What he’s doing is weird bottom line.

Mine: Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel

While I hope there are changes, I still see them bringing back the same judges for another season even in the case of budget concerns.

A sign of judge changes coming is even more possible now I think.. there is no way they are paying Sofia 10 million if they cut Jason Raff after all these years.

There are rumours for changing the current panel of judges. How about the idea to do a spin-off for selection of judges? Americans voted for the one you want to be the judge of the next season. For the result show, judge candidates stand on the stage with Terry in the middle, and then Terry rips open the envelope to reveal who is the next elected judge. That would be hilarious.

I love Heidi but I need another really energetic female judge with a huge sense of humor on the panel with Sofia. I think we need a petition to bring Mel back. Her and Sofia on the panel with Simon and Howie would be iconic and would probably be one of the best panel line up yet. Mel can stay next to Howie and Sofia can stay next to Simon. Sofia obviously seems fun and has a similar carefree and energetic personality like Mel. Heidi is fun and carefree at times but she usually lacks a sense of humor and normally takes everything too seriously which is exhausting.

I'm looking through my liked videos and saw The Jerusalem Youth Chorus and realized they got through to the next round yet didn't so I looked it up and saw that even acts that get through the auditions can be eliminated that's so messed up

I guess I always thought this happened but didn't have confirmation

The irony behind that claim was that I saw this and my first thought was "oh right, he was a golden buzzer" lol

So about 8-10 years ago I dressed for Halloween copying a previous contestant.

It was a guy (might have been in a group), and he had his face painted. There was specifically teeth painted on over his lips, which was very very cool looking.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone knows who this audition was by!

A fun concept for an All-Stars spin-off of Americas Got Talent - one where AGT icons compete against similar acts from other versions of the show...

Here are a few examples:

• Learnmore Jonasi (AGT) Vs Daliso Chaponda (BGT) (African comedians with cheery personas and satirical material poking fun at the stranger aspects of daily life)
• Tape Face (AGT) Vs. Viggo Venn (BGT) (Quirky - and very silly - comedy acts specializing in physical comedy and mime)
• Brent Street (AGT Vs Phoenix Boys (BGT) (Teenage - mostly male - contemporary dance troupes with an intense performance style)

What Match-Ups would you like to see in a format like this?

I read an article stating that Simon and Agt are considering bringing back old judges to the likes of Piers Morgan and/or David Hasselhoff. I can't confirm it 100%. It is apparently a rumor told down from someone who works on the show. This potential judge recast is due to inflation and Simon not having allocated the budget for the current judges.

First of all I feel like this show drags on way too long. Took my mom and I forever to even finish 😂I don't get why we spend so much time on audiences dumb reactions. No one care sand it's usually the dumbest responses i've heard lol. Why oh why do we need a whole show just for the results that is an hour and a half long?? We could have made that 30 minutes. Then there is an hour recap right before the finale that is copycat to the episode prior. Someone behind the scenes really needs to step it up with production😂

To keep this subreddit alive, I thought it'd be a good idea to create a third season of AGT The Champions. Hopefully we can make this the best season of The Champions. How this will work is 4 preliminaries of 9 acts where 2 acts in each preliminary advance into the finals. There will then be a wildcard round where 2 acts with the most votes also advance into the finals. The winner of the finals will then be declared the new champion of AGT.

You can submit as many names as you'd like as long as they have never competed on the previous 2 seasons of the Champions.

I was rewatching the classic seasons of this show (specifically the Vegas week episodes because they are what I miss the most in modern AGT seasons). Do you guys remember the gimmick they used in season 6 where the judges could eliminate someone from the competition IMMEDIATELY if their audition was deemed subpar?

I know it was a pretty obvious ratings trick, but I actually didn’t mind it too terribly much. It didn’t happen super often, and some more of those novelty acts should have definitely been on the receiving end of this rule, but I do like that it was often used to show the other contestants that this competition is not a joke and that they need to take it more seriously.

The only time that I saw it happen that I fundamentally disagreed with its use was actually one of the first times it was done, when they automatically eliminated Cindy Chang.

I’ll make it clear that I did NOT think she deserved some golden buzzer equivalent, and I understand that she might have been too similar to who production had deemed the season standup (Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.) and I submit to the fact that Landau was overall more compelling narrative wise than Cindy was. My disagreement is SOLEY based on the fact that I don’t think her performance was bad enough that it warranted instant elimination. If anything, Flo Jo’s daughter was one of the poorer performances, but they still had her stay through to deliberations.

This theory makes the production look like trash, but I honestly wouldn’t put it past NBC to eliminate her instantly just to psych Landau out before he performs.

If you have any thoughts about this I would love to hear them! I know this was over a decade ago, but I’m still interested if anyone has similar (or opposing) thoughts.

I think she would choose working on Project Runway than AGT.
