11- Sofie Dossi (Had she not lost to Grace, she would have won it!)

12- Angelica Hale (When Chris Hartwick slammed the Golden Buzzer on her so did I!) (Darci Lynne and Celine Tam would also get nods, as well as Mandy Harvey) No. Sofie would NOT have won if she beat Grace. She was one of the BOTTOM 5 acts in the Finals. That's not how this show works. They had two random people who had previously been voted for against each other, and Grace was one of the Top 5 and Sofie was one of the Bottom 5 acts. I'm starting to think (or maybe I'm positive) that you really don't understand how the show works...

If Grace hadn't competed last year, it is likely that the votes she captured would have gone to Brian Justin Crumb and he would have won. The Clairvoyants and Dorenbos split the Magic Act vote and Sal was not strong enough to challenge BJC. Sophie and Victor split the Circus vote and both finished in the bottom five.
