Sure they have the money, but they still don't have the fame associated with winning AGT or getting the headline show in Vegas. I think it's less about Detroit being salty and more that they wanted to thank the choir for representing the city if the city of detroit was physically able to award dyc with a million dollars, then why does the dyc even need the money anyway? they didn't win. they aren't supposed to have a million dollars. they would have been much farther from being runner-up if detroit weren't voting exclusively for them. it's just... clownery. You're looking way too deep into this. America's Got Talent is not the be-all-end-all of life. Like Foxy said, the money is a gift. The city of Detroit decided to give them the money, and it doesn't (and shouldn't) matter whether they "deserve" it or not. Are you saying that DYC's not allowed to get any kind of consolation gift from anyone for the rest of their lives just because they only won second place?

Also, I guarantee you no one would even care about this if we were talking about any other act. It's only a problem because people are upset about DYC placing as high as they did. but if dyc was gonna get $1m anyway then why would they even have competed on agt? it's not like a youth choir which would always be changing members when people grow out of it would ever be a vegas act.
