I'll be interested to see what acts return for Australia's Got Talent: The Champions. Would be funny if the same acts keep returning for Champions seasons.

I think I'd respect Australia's Got Talent if they decided to just keep it to previous Australian contestants, though I'm not sure how many memorable acts they've had to fill a Champions season.

Personally I think if Simon and the producers are adamant they want another AGT Champions season soon I think they'd be better focusing on bringing more international acts, as I think they did a good thing with the likes of Angelina Jordan and Marcelito Pomoy as it gave them exposure in America, whilst they already had a fan base which seems to have garnered hits for them and AGT on YouTube.

However I think another AGT Champions season happening so soon may depend on the ratings of this season and what acts they could get for a Champions Season 3. I do think they may have used up too many memorable past AGT acts, particularly in Champions Season 1, which they may regret. And I think acts that haven't returned yet may have been for a reason.

Simon apparently was aiming for an X Factor All-Stars season in the UK, and I'm sure there were even commercials promoting it. But it seemed to be last minute it was dropped. Apparently not enough past X Factor acts were interested in returning. So to fill the time slot was X Factor: Celebrity and X Factor: The Band. I don't know if it's all true but apparently the shooting and auditioning for X Factor: The Band was a shambles and hastily put together. My point is that not everything Simon promises and states actually happen. So maybe depending on this Champions season it could be a while before there's another if not enough acts want to return.
