“America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” aired its sixth episode Monday night with 10 more acts performing for a coveted spot on The Finals. The new spin-off series features former “Got Talent” contestants from America and beyond, participating in a seven-week showdown to determine which ultimate star will win the title of “Got Talent World Champion.” Longtime Series Judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell And Heidi Klum come back to the jury with Terry Crews on stage for hospitality duties.
In the first of these early rounds, only two acts from each episode will advance to the finale. One will be hand selected by one of the judges via the Golden Buzzer and the other will be voted on by a collection of superfans from across the country. Without Golden Buzzers in this episode, it left a spot in the finale, which went to Kodi Lee. Yes, you read that right, a single advanced act. He joins Aidan McCann, Mike E. Winfield, Avery Dixon, Tom Ball, Ana-Maria Margean, Detroit Youth Choir, Aidan Bryant, Power Duo, the bello sisters And Light Balance Kids finally. Did the fans and judges get it right? Below is my Top 10 ranking for Monday’s sixth episode of “AGT: All-Stars.”

Ranking season 1 episode 6:
10. Sethward: There are so many things I could say about Sethward, who made it to the quarter-finals in Season 16. None of them are praiseworthy other than “It’s nice to see him enjoy.” But why? Who invited him? Does Sethward have something better to do? All questions will remain unanswered. Either way, the self-proclaimed greatest of all time literally came back as a goat. He wasted no time falling down the steps and annoying Simon. It was excruciating to watch. He just falls and gets up again.
9. Daneliya Tuleshova: Daneliya was a finalist on the 15th season of “America’s Got Talent,” where she gave memorable performances and garnered legions of fans. His career seems to have exploded Youtube. I would never have chosen this song for her, but her performance was far from “a lost game”. Unfortunately, she didn’t stand out at the end of the night. Maybe she should try “American Idol”?
8. Flau’jae: This quarter-finalist from the 13th season of “America’s Got Talent” has long been one of my favorites. That performance was awesome and you still feel like she’s a rising star. It will be interesting to see where she ends up landing in the future. Social media loved the act, with many calling for him to become a star on the same level of Latte, Cardi B And Nicki Minaj.
7. Lucas and Falco: This act was a semi-finalist on the 14th season of “America’s Got Talent.” Overall, this performance had me grinning from ear to ear as I remember watching this season with my oldest dog Buster next to me (I’m sure he’s watching l episode of doggy Heaven right now with the same captivated look in his eyes) and now I’m watching the same number with Fonzie, who was just as excited at the sight of dogs doing tricks on TV. Turns out this episode really hit with some emotions. For sentimentality alone, they earned a spot in my ranking because of it. On the other hand, I had a feeling they wouldn’t make it to the final.
6. Brett Loudermilk: In season 15 of “America’s Got Talent”, Brett tortured Sofia Vergara on the way to becoming a semi-finalist. Disgusting Howie was just an added bonus. Choosing Heidi to join him on stage this time was both a blessing and a curse as she is not afraid of most acts of danger. Watching Brett interact with the audience was even more fun because he’s so sarcastic. I live for sarcasm. Simon was less impressed and gave her a red buzzer. Shortly after, he regurgitated a balloon from his body and there it was, that said the animal Terry was thinking of. Leaving the ball in front of Howie was awesome. Did I think he would move on? No. Did I enjoy every second of this performance? Fuck yeah!
5. Brandon Leak: The winner of the 15th season of “America’s Got Talent” was Howie’s Golden Buzzer this cycle. Did this performance prove that spoken poetry is a real talent in the eyes of those who don’t see it as such? No, the same naysayers were back on social media and just as confused as before. On the plus side, everyone who appreciates Brandon’s talent loved this performance, especially the judges. Brandon bringing his daughter on stage was adorable and she stole the show. Was I surprised he wasn’t moving forward? Not as much as social media. Something tells me that even though he wasn’t moving forward, Brandon got down to doing what he wanted and showing live audiences his magic on the AGT stage.
4. Chorus of Voices of Hope: This “America’s Got Talent” 13th season semi-finalist is all about optimism. This song in particular moved me, which is rare. It touched me somehow and it might just be the performance the world needed this week given all the craziness going on. Heidi and Simon loved the performance, but what about Howie? Well, Howie described it as “wonderful” before comparing it to a school assembly. Way to drop the coin, mate.
3. Josh Blue: In season 16 of “America’s Got Talent,” this winner of season four of “Last Comic Standing” came in third place. I wasn’t exactly his biggest fan on either show, so his return worried me a bit. To my surprise, I ended up liking his set. The judges also appreciated his performance, as did the crowd. More importantly, he gave everyone a faint hope that we might get two comedians in the finals…at least until the results are read.
2. Kodi Lee: The winner of the 14th season of “America’s Got Talent” returned to the delight of the audience and the judges. Kodi was an unstoppable force that season and the crowd remembered more than just him, giving him the biggest standing ovation of the night.. With the intention of winning again, Kodi was more than ready to blow the roof off the building with his performance. It was Heidi’s first time hearing Kodi sing live on stage at AGT, and her joy was also contagious. When he advanced, it was more than deserved. It was fate. If I was a bettor, I’d say Kodi has a major advantage over its Finals competitors based on the support it received on Monday.
1. Eric Chien: This Season 3, “Asia’s Got Talent” winner appeared in “America’s Got Talent” Season 14 and “China’s Got Talent” Season 7. Additionally, he won ”BGT: The Ultimate Magician. “Back on the AGT stage, Eric incorporated Heidi into his act. I was captivated by the performance and got to watch him perform magic all day. As Howie said, Eric “raised himself” to the level of the competition. Simon wasn’t as impressed and wanted a bigger ride. Eric countered that he stayed true to himself by sticking to what he loves to do, which Simon apparently respects. I was actually very disappointed when he didn’t make it to the final, but not exactly surprised either.
