Angelica Hale wasn’t singing for second place on Monday’s “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” The 2017 “AGT” runner-up, now 11, belted out “Fight Song” to became the first performer to receive two Golden Buzzers in the series. Right after her spirited performance, Hale received unabashed praise from judge Heidi Klum, but got a slightly more tepid response from Mel B, who said she had hoped Angelica would put her own twist on the Rachel Platten hit. Then Howie Mandel gave Angelica perhaps the highest compliment of all, pushing the Golden Buzzer to vault her into the finals against the likes of Susan Boyle.

Magician Shin Lim, the most recent winner of “America’s Got Talent,” wasn’t about to let viewers forget him.
The card-trick wizard returned to the same stage on Monday’s “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” and delivered sleight-of-hand that could keep you up nights trying to figure out.
“As expected, mind-blowing,” judge Heidi Klum said afterward.
Cards disappeared, changed color and materialized out of nowhere. Then the performer truly amazed with his final few tricks ― one involving host Terry Crews.
Shin Lim advanced with Golden Buzzer-winning sand artist Kseniya Simonova, meaning he’ll have another chance to astound viewers.

A dozen acts are competing on the final of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” on February 11. Five of these got the Golden Buzzer and another five won the superfans vote. We just got word that the two wild cards are ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer, who won “AGT” in 2017, and magician Joe Dorenbos. While this is great news for fans of these two talents, it means that singing sensation Courtney Hadwin, who placed third to Farmer on episode 2, didn’t make the cut. What do you think of these two choices? Be sure to vote in our poll below for the act you want to win season 1 of “AGT: The Champions” and then sound off on the show in our comments section. Farmer and Dorenbos have their work cut out for them in the final on Monday. They face off against the two acts that trounced them in the vote. Farmer fell short to rock opera singer Cristina Ramos, who won “Spanish Got Talent.” And Dorenbos was downed by the very first “Britain’s Got Talent” champ, opera singer Paul Potts.

Just two months ago, 14-year-old ventriloquist and “America’s Got Talent” champion Darci Lynne Farmer brought her eclectic puppets to Utah. Oscar, the soulful, stuttering mouse, sang Motown tunes to a packed Eccles Theater. The grouchy old lady Edna Doorknocker entertained the Salt Lake crowd with her sassy remarks and the cowgirl Katie impressed people with her high-speed yodeling. But the show-stopping moment of the night came from the diva rabbit Petunia, who gracefully belted “O Mio Babbino Caro” from the Italian opera “Gianni Schicchi.” All the while, Darci’s lips remained unmoved.
