America's Got Talent: The Champions
What's the Story?
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS, a spin-off of America's Got Talent, is giving auditioners, winners, and runners-up of previous cycles of the Got Talent franchise the chance be the named greatest talent in the world. Hosted by Terry Crews, each episode of the show features performers from Great Britain, Australia, Russia, Spain, and a range of other countries who appeared on their nation's version of the series. Judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel offer their feedback. Two acts advance to the finale, either by receiving the golden buzzer from a judge, or by being selected by voters from all 50 states as that night's fan favorite. The winner of the finale receives the title and the glory.
Is It Any Good?
This entertaining, energetic series introduces the United States to a range of memorable and successful Got Talent acts from all over the world, while giving American viewers a chance to see some of this country's more popular contestants. While some have become major celebrities in their own countries and are hoping to break into the American entertainment market, others, like runner-up-turned international sensation Susan Boyle, are returning in hopes of taking home a Got Talent title.
Unlike other installments of America's Got Talent, the main focus is on positively highlighting the genuine and unique talents different people have showcased over the years thanks to the internationally popular franchise. However, the voting system, which only has people voting from the United States, undermines the international scope of the show. Nonetheless, America's Got Talent: The Champions is fun to watch, and will very possibly leave you rooting for many acts to win.
