By: Jacob Elyachar, jakes-take.com

This is it! The America’s Got Talent-The Champions: Season Two (AGT Champions: Season Two) Top Ten acts faced off to become the ultimate performer in the Got Talent franchise. Which acts impressed Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Alesha Dixon, and Howie Mandel?  Who did the super fans vote for?  Read on to find out!

After Terry Crews walked out to Europe’s “Final Countdown,” it was time to get down to business. Up first, Germany’s Got Talent champion Alexa Lauenburger was the first act to take the AGT Champions stage. I am not an animal lover, so I found the act boring, and I would have buzzed her. D+ 

Duo Transcend was the next AGT Champions duo to take on the stage. Yes, I was tough on them last week after I initially thought they plagiarized Billy and Emily England’s roller skating, but after they clapped back and I admitted that I was wrong and apologized; I think we are cool. Anyway, tonight’s stunts were spectacular and insane. I am glad that stuck to the trapeze this time around and brought back the blindfolds. Mary and Tyce were outstanding with their performance, and I think they left their mark on the competition. A-

Angelina Jordan earned Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer during the first week of AGT Champions. The young Norway’s Got Talent winner sang Sir Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” For her final competitive performance, Angelina delivered a phenomenal performance that brilliantly showcased her voice. I, along with the audience, was captivated by the performance and it could help her win the show. A

Simon Cowell’s all-time favorite act, Boogie Storm, returned to the AGT Champions stage. The Got Talent creator stole Howie Mandel’s Golden Buzzer to make sure that the Britain’s Got Talent alums got into the finale. I will be honest with you, I agreed with Howie’s buzzer. Yes, Boogie Storm is a fun dance act, but I rather have seen longtime Jake’s Take friends Collabro and Oz Pearlman or Marc Spelmann in their spot. The three acts that I mentioned would have raised the Pasadena Civic Center roof with their performances. Instead, we got third-rate bar mitzvah dancing stormtroopers. F

America’s Got Talent: Season Six runner-up and Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer act, Silhouettes, were the next group to take the AGT Champions stage. The Denver, Colorado dance troupe took the stage and performed a moving routine about a family who was forced to rebuild their lives and face off against homelessness. This routine moved me and gave me chills. I also believed that incorporating Jordan Smith’s “Stand in the Light” helped elevate the story. Bravo, Silhouettes! A

I was very happy that Hans made it to the AGT Champions: Season Two finale! He is fun, exciting, and hysterical! He tackled Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud” and my smile was so big that it did not matter if Simon buzzed him! It was a great way to end the season! A-

Violinist Tyler Butler-Figueroa was one of the few acts that could say that they made it to the finals of two Got Talent franchises. The AGT: Season 14 finalist took to the AGT Champions stage to perform a moving cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” I was very impressed with the fact that he played with no backing vocalists or other instrumentalists. That was a bold move, Tyler! What an excellent performance. A- 

Just like Tyler, V.Unbeatable had the opportunity to make it to the Got Talent finals for the second year in a row. I think Howie Mandel did a phenomenal job picking them as a Golden Buzzer act. Tonight, their routine was out of this world! I was blown away yet again by their stunts and I have a strong feeling that they will win AGT Champions: Season Two! A++

Marcelito Pomoy closed out his AGT Champions competitive run by performing Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson’s “Beauty and the Beast.” I was blown away by how much Marcelito’s female vocals were nearly identical to Celine’s voice. This was an impressive performance from start to finish, and he gave me chills. I believe that Marcelito will have a massive career after his appearance on AGT Champions! He received a standing ovation from Howie, Alesha, and Heidi. A+ 

Sandou Russian Trio Bar ended the AGT Champions Grand Final performances. Tonight, the trio performed under a bed of nails. They transported the Pasadena Civic Center audience to a South American jungle. This act brought the danger to the finale. My jaw dropped as they raised the threat by incorporating fire to the act. Also, setting the bar on fire was terrifying! Well done! A 

Next week, the winner will be revealed!
