Fans express frustration as 'AGT' chooses to exclude 40 Pounds' audition clip while highlighting Oswaldo Colina instead, leading to demands for explanations

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The captivating journey of auditions unfolds in the latest episode 6 of the renowned talent show 'America's Got Talent.' Season 18 kicked off in May, showcasing a fresh batch of performers vying for the coveted $1 million prize. Leading the panel of judges is the esteemed Simon Cowell, who also serves as the executive producer. Joining him are the internationally acclaimed Sofia Vergara, the fashion icon Heidi Klum, and the comedic genius Howie Mandel. The charismatic Terry Crews resumes his role as the host, adding his unique energy to the show.

However, amidst the excitement, fans were left disappointed when the production team of 'AGT' chose to omit the performance of Brooklyn-based hat-flipping dancer 40 Pounds. Instead, they focused on finger puppeteer Oswaldo Colina, who received three red buzzes from the judges, except for Sofia.

'It’s so bad it’s good'

Just moments before Oswaldo, the finger puppeteer, took the stage, 'AGT' treated the audience to a montage featuring snippets of three dancers, including the impressive hat-flipping performer 40 Pounds. Regrettably, these clips were not showcased in their entirety, leaving fans curious about their full performances. However, it was learned that 40 Pounds advanced to the next round with a unanimous decision of four "yeses." Stepping into the spotlight next, Oswaldo confronted Simon's previous rejection on Britain's Got Talent, sparking a desire for "revenge," as Sofia translated. Oswaldo, known for his viral TikTok videos as a photographer, surprisingly stages dance routines using his fingers. Equipped with finger booties and a feather on his hand, his act is undeniably peculiar, leading Howie, Heidi, and Simon to buzz him off. As his performance concludes with a pole dance, Sofia finds herself torn, describing it as "It's so bad it's good." Simon, taken aback, can't fathom why Oswaldo traveled all the way to America to deliver such a show. Ultimately, Oswaldo receives one "yes", from Sofia) and three "nos." from the others.

'Hat guy got robbed. Should have montaged the finger guy instead'

Fans call out 'AGT' team for cutting out 40 Pounds' audition clip instead of Oswaldo Colina. One said, "Wish we could see more of the hat guy!! He was soo good!", while another said, "At least now we all know why Simon gave him a NO in London." Another commented, "Ok. I really wish we saw the dancers instead of this act which is ANYWAY getting the boot." One user questioned, "Why do you cut out the good parts AGT??" Some pointed out, "This was one of the more unique acts but it wasn’t a million dollar act, unfortunately." Another chimed in saying, "I love watching Sofia give Simon “grief” in every sense of the word as she does it so well. " Another noticed someone from the audience and remarked, "Big up to the only person who stood up at 3:07 with confidence then slowly settled back down with awkwardness, he’s the real MVP!!!" Another user concluded by saying, "AGT, please get your priorities sorted before editing the clips."
