Kenichi had the advantage of the most viral audition, a very lovable personality, and being the first to use video projection to such a high level. Plus, he was definitely a great dancer. Who can forget that "Matrix" move.

You're right, AGT should just be a talent competition. But unfortunately, there is no way to quantify talent. Viewers' voting makes the show work, and voting politics unfortunately plays a big role.

Obviously I'm upset, but, going back to the main topic of this thread... No, this was not orchestrated by producers. Knowing the success of the Blue Man Group, the show obviously wanted Siro-A to move on as they could become really big.
