Yeah I got confirmation from someone else that Musa and Ichikawa are performing in Fantasy League.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Terry say in one of the promos that "one Golden Buzzer isn't enough", which leads me to think he'll GB an act who received the GB before. So either Detroit Youth Choir, Malevo or Sara James. Unless someone else got the GB that week that I am missing.
I think he'll buzz Divyansh & Manuraj and Tone the Chiefrocca. It's possible Tone could get a buzzout, in fact. I hope he doubles down and still does "B-O-O-T-Y".
Where did you hear that?
But if I were to make a guess...
Golden Buzzer: Aidan Bryant or Vitoria Bueno
Top 3: Aidan/Vitoria, Detroit Youth Choir, Sara James
Bruh. What in the living hell were the results? How did Caly get Top 3 over Jimmie and Alan? Who are these SuperFans and why do they suck so much?
PREDICTIONS
GOLDEN BUZZER: Terry Fator or Alan Silva (it could very easily be one or the other)
1st Place Superfans: Alan or Terry
2nd Place Superfans: Jimmie Herrod
3rd Place Superfans: Light Balance Kids or Bello Sisters
Who I am rooting for: Alan Silva, Bello Sisters, Berywam, Jeanick Fournier, Jimmie Herrod, Light Balance Kids, Lioz Shem Tov, Terry Fator
Basically everyone but Aneeshwar or Calysta.
Oh sorry. I just now got that message. Yeah I completely agree.
Yeah I am not saying it's not possible, because I think that likely will happen. However, I personally want Alan to get it because I like Alan more.
I'd be fine with all those choices. I kinda want Alan Silva to get the GB more than Aidan though, but I would be fine with either.
Wow! Thanks! More than likely, my choices are going to be nowhere near correct when January rolls around.
Holy crap! That was a lot! If you actually read all that, then good for you.
But in a TL;DR way, here are my predictions for the Top 11.
PREDICTIONS:
Alan Silva
Avery Dixon
Cristina Rae
Eric Chien
Jimmie Herrod
Josh Blue
Kodi Lee
Ndlovu Youth Choir
Power Duo
Terry Fator
World Taekwondo Demo. Team
MY DREAM TOP 11

Lioz Shem Tov
Malevo
Terry Fator
World Taekwondo Demo. Team
I will know give my brief thoughts on all the contestants and they're likelihood of advancing. Keep in mind that I do not know the spoilers, so I am trying to just go with my intuition and knowledge of the acts. Also a lot of it heavily depends on their competition in each of the six weeks, but I will try my best.
Aidan Bryant: He is a solid aerialist, but I do wonder if he will get lost in the shuffle, no matter how good he performs. Depends on his competition. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Aidan McCann: I do not really remember his performances, so I cannot say 100%. Unsure, but likely eliminated.
Alan Silva: It's really a toss-up between which aerialist will make it big, but my gut is telling me that Alan will do well. Potential Top 11 Finalist, Possible Golden Buzzer.
Ana Maria Margean: Again, haven't seen her performances, but it's gonna be really hard to beat the GOAT (Terry Fator) at the ventriloquism game. Unsure, but likely eliminated.
Aneeshwar Kunchala: Well he is a kid, so any luck of him getting buzzed is thrown out the window. He could get some "cute" cred, but I do not see him advancing. Likely eliminated.
Archie Williams: Could his story win out? Quite possibly, but he is a pretty decent singer. Then again, that is also his biggest downfall. Could advance, possible Golden Buzzer.
Avery Dixon: A fan-favourite from last year, he could do extremely well if he plays his cards right. I feel like he is the "little act that could" and can win a lot of the Superfans over. Possible winner, Possible Golden Buzzer.
Axel Blake: Again kinda missed out/don't remember his performances, but there are a lot of comedians this year. Not sure/could advance.
Bello Sisters: Technically, they are exceptional acrobats. They would have to do something completely remarkable to advance, and it heavily depends on their competition, but they could be dark horses. Could advance, possible Golden Buzzer.
Berywam: They are technically great, but will their talent be "lost in the shuffle" or could the judges not really appreciate them? Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Bir Khalsa: Among some of the most exciting, dangerous hooligans ever. They SHOULD advance, but I think the judges will find them "too dangerous", for lack of better word. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Brandon Leake: A unique act for sure, but could just saying words make him advance again? I think his win could be a fluke, Simon has never seen him perform live before and could buzz. Possible buzz from Simon (but I wouldn't bet on it). Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Brett Loudermilk: Another act cursed by the danger bias. Possible buzz. Likely eliminated.
Calysta Bevier: She is a terrific singer, but I am not sure if she has really a big "it factor" or a unique enough voice to advance, but still don't sleep on her. Could advance, possible GB (but I don't think so), but likely eliminated.
Captain Ruin: It's awesome that he is getting another chance after withdrawing from Australia's Got Talent, but again danger bias. We'll see. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Cristina Rae: She is among the better singers this All-Stars season, and I could easily see her advance. Possible winner, possible Golden Buzzer.
Dance Town Family: An atypical choice, but the lack of dance groups could prove advantageous. Still wouldn't bet on it. Likely eliminated.
Daneliya Tuleshova: I don't really understand her voice, but the judges love her. Could go either way with the Superfans though. Could advance, possible Golden Buzzer, but likely eliminated.
Darius Mabda: I do not know enough about this act to form a consensus. Unsure
Detroit Youth Choir: Without the safety net of their home city voting, I do not know how well they will do in the voting, unless the Superfans happen to be from the Motor city. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Divyansh & Manuraj: Again I haven't seen them, but I have a feeling that Simon may not be swayed by them. His flautist hatred might reign supreme. Possible buzz from Simon, likely eliminated.
Dustin Tavella: Let's be honest, he is more of a storyteller than a magician. No disrespect towards him, good for him for winning AGT, but there are more "show-y" magicians participating this year. Could go either way, but I am thinking he'll be eliminated.
Dustin's Dojo: The first ever Golden Buzzer. I think that Simon will not get it, and Howie will love it. Good for them, but I think they are toast. Possible buzz from Simon, likely eliminated.
Emil and Dariel: Much like Avery, this is another instrumentalist act that I think could appeal heavily to the Superfans. I think they will do very well. Possible Top 11 finalist, possible winner but I wouldn't bet on it.
Eric Chien: Shin Lim, Jr., I would argue he is better than him. He is in my mind the magician to beat this year. Possible Top 11 finalist, possible Golden Buzzer.
Flau'jae: Another act who is technically terrific, but I am not sure if the Superfans will get behind her. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Human Fountains: Uh.... right. They are fodder. I do not see them advancing unless everyone else in their group gets polio. Definitely buzz from Simon, definitely eliminated.
Jackie Fabulous: IMO, one of the funniest female comics AGT ever had. Could make it, but sadly the competition from other comics is strong. Not sure if she'll stand out. Could advance, likely eliminated.
Jamie Leahey: He is good, but again when you are up against someone like Terry Fator, you likely will just pale in comparison to him. Depends on his competition. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Jasper Cherry: I do not really remember him. Unsure.
Jeanick Fournier: I compared her to Susan Boyle, and I am happy that CGT got some rep. She could be the singer to beat, but it could go either way. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Jimmie Herrod: Out of all the singers this year (besides Kodi), I think Jimmie is the one that everyone should watch out for. If any singer is gonna win, it'll be him. Possible winner, probably Top 11 finalist, possible Golden Buzzer.
Josh Blue: A really solid comedian, I think a lot of the voters will get behind him. I hope his material's great! Possible Top 11 finalist.
Keiichi Iwasaki: A magician that definitely deserved to do better on BGT than he did. I wish him the best of luck, but I am not sure if he'll do enough to stand out. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Keren Montero: Don't know enough about her. Unsure.
Kodi Lee: Another extremely solid potential winner here. He is gonna have to suck pretty bad or have extremely bad luck with the Superfans to not advance. Possible winner, possible Golden Buzzer
Light Balance Kids: I love these kinds of multimedia acts, and they could do really well, but it could also be a crap shoot too. Could go either way, but I think won't advance.
Lioz Shem Tov: Definitely among my favourites of the contestants chosen. He is extremely great, but Heidi never liked him and will have to pull something super memorable off to be in consideration. Buzz from Heidi. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Lukas & Falco: The only animal act could help them out, but I think Howie doesn't really like them. Could go either way. Buzz from Howie. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Malevo: They are extremely unique, extremely memorable, and I think have a good chance of getting voted in by the Superfans. Again depends on their competition. Potential Top 11 finalist.
Mandy Harvey: Another terrific singer. Is she "unique" enough? I don't know, but again I wouldn't sleep on her. Potential Top 11 finalist.
Mervant Vera: He almost made the Finale last year, and he is probably going to do as well as he always does, but will he be "unique" enough to get votes? Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Mike E. Winfield: Great comic, stiff competition. It depends on his competition and material. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Mini Droids: Do not know enough about them, but them being one of the few dance groups could prove beneficial. Unsure.
Ndlovu Youth Choir: Definitely my favourite choir in the competition. If they absolutely SLAY, then I think they are potential underdogs. Potential Top 11 finalist, possible Golden Buzzer
Peter Antoniou: He kinda crapped the bed at the Semis a few years ago, so I hope he does better, but again it depends on how the Superfans feel and his competition. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Peter Rosalita: How old is he? Has he started puberty yet? Could that affect his chances? I am not sure. Could go either way. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Power Duo: These guys did exceptional on Asia/Philippines' Got Talent, and if they do just as well here, I could see them scoring well with the Superfans. Potential Top 11 finalist, Possible Golden Buzzer, Possible Winner
Robert Finley: He is great, and I am glad he was chosen, but again there are A LOT of singers. Is he memorable enough? Could advance, but likely eliminated.
The Sacred Riana: This could go either way. I am not sure how big on horror the Superfans are, and I think the judges could be very mixed on the performance. Possible buzz from Simon. Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Sara James: Another singer that could do well depending on her performances. We'll see. Potential Top 11 finalist.
Sethward: Unless Howie does an off-the-wall joke Golden Buzzer for him, then as much as people will hate for me to say this, I do not think he has a shell of a chance. Very very very VERY unlikely GB from Howie, but otherwise eliminated. Buzz from Simon.
Terry Fator: Another act that is in my mind damn near untouchable, unless something ridiculous happens. Possible winner, possible Golden Buzzer
Tom Ball: One of my favourite singers from recent memory. I think he could break through depending on his competition. Possible Top 11 finalist
Tone the Chiefrocca: Will he sing B-O-O-T-Y? If so, then good on him for being consistent, but I don't think it'll be enough. Buzz from Simon. Likely eliminated.
Vitoria Bueno: While I am not familiar with her, her having no arms looks very intriguing. Could have a good story about overcoming adversity that'll resonate with Superfans. Possible Top 11 finalist, Possible Golden Buzzer
Viviana Rossi: This one is a big question mark for me. She could do well, but will her not being among the live show finalists be the death knell for her for the Superfans? Could advance, but likely eliminated.
Voices of Hope Children's Choir: Could do well, but I think will be overshadowed by better choirs. Likely eliminated.
World Taekwondo Demonstration Team: Yeah, they always know how to do a show, and I think they have the potential to do extremely well here. Potential Top 11 finalist, Possible Golden Buzzer, Possible Winner
Yumbo Dump: They are silly, but I think it depends on the sounds they make. Potential buzz-out? Likely eliminated.
Yeah Viviana is probably the most unusual pick. Not necessarily bad because is not bad, but I am just a little surprised that they picked her out of many others. Was she supposed to be in the Top 55 last year and this is retribution?
That is a good question. I honestly do not know. You would think that they would keep her around since both her Wild-Card and Golden Buzzer "won" to some capacity. My guess is that she did not sign up for the spin-offs specifically and just the main show.
I'll start.
This roster... THIS FREAKING ROSTER... it's phenomenal. So many acts I love, so much amazing talent on display. Every name eclipses the last. Seriously there is like nobody I strongly dislike. Sure there is some fodder, but IMO it makes it more interesting and fun. I cannot wait for his show to air in January!
I will provide my thoughts on every act later on.
Well we got a promo, the 60 contestants have been announced, I figure I might as well strike while the iron is hot and make a discussion page here.
Here we discuss everything having to do with the forthcoming AGT: All Stars in a little over a month.
WARNING: SOME PEOPLE KNOW SPOILERS OF HOW THE ENTIRE SEASON IS GOING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE DO NOT POST IT HERE. SOME PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED, DO NOT KNOW AND WANT TO FIND OUT WHEN THE SHOW AIRS. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
Anyways... let's go.
Well... me personally... I can't really say that I understand the appeal of Mayyas, but they are the first group to win on AGT ever, so good for them. I also will not say anything bad about them as people. To me, it really just seems like they do very simple moves and they do a lot of the same moves over and over without much variation, but maybe I'm just an uncultured idiot. I am really happy that Kristy placed 2nd, and Avery Dixon at least to me is what I call "the people's champion".
With all that being said, this was a great season and had probably one of the largest bevies of talent in history, so it was very fun to watch in that respect.
I hope that we get a third "The Champions" season because there are a lot of acts this year that really got the short end of the stick in terms due to the stupid-ass format change (I'm looking at you Don McMillan).
Oh well, it's only a show. I will be back next year like always. Be sure to check out my Fantasy Season Wiki (ChipGT.fandom.com) and check me out on Discord where I will be more than happy to talk. If you want to join a Fantasy Season, be sure to get in contact with me and we'll have some fun!
I don't get it. I don't think I ever will get it. Oh well.

America's truly Got Talent.
VOTE FOR MOTHERFUCKING AVERY DIXON RIGHT NOW! THAT'S AN ORDER (mostly because I can't)
Okay... this is the big one. Here are my thoughts on the Finals of AGT this year.
Kristy Sellars: WOW! She did absolutely incredible tonight! So imaginative, so cool, so original. I really hope America gets behind her one last time, but her winning... I am not sure about that one.
Nicolas Ribs: He is technically a really really solid magician. My only issue was that there wasn't any "wow" moment for me tonight with his act and it felt rather small. I do not think he is in the running for the win at all.
Chapel Hart: Very risky, very ballsy original song. I am conflicted. On the one hand, this is probably the worst of the original songs that they performed, but on the other, it might appeal to the "nationalistic" vote. So I am not sure about them.
Mike E. Winfield: WOW! He did so good! He was very funny tonight. He has an uphill battle tonight because so many arguably better comedians have come so close but fallen by the wayside, so again... I don't know.
MetaPhysic: Damn it, I don't want them to win. On the one hand, yes, this is a cool idea and it's a funny and novel concept and it would be a cool Vegas show. But it's just a one-trick pony, and it would really suck if this multimedia won whereas Fighting Gravity or Team iLuminate or Light Balance couldn't. I hope that the bevy of talent tonight sweeps them away, but... America votes weird sometimes.
Mayyas: Well... I would classify this performance as slightly better than their usual lot due to the beginning part, but... come on... THEY DO THE SAME FUCKING MOVES EVERY TIME. I don't get it. They aren't dynamic, they aren't exciting. I know I have said this with other acts in the past, but now more than ever, they do the same thing and the judges eat it up. Chalk this one up as "Curious Poker Chip doesn't get it". That being said, them winning would be interesting in a historical context as they would be (probably) the first act to win two Got Talent competitions, and the first group of more than two people to win, but I just wish it was any other group than them. Sorry.
Avery Dixon: HE SLAYED IT! WOW! HOLY CRAP! I AM SO BLOWN AWAY! This was one of my favourite America's Got Talent performances EVER! He's probably not going to win the competition, but he's won in my eyes. He is so damn cool, I wish I was as cool as him. BRILLIANT.
Celia Munoz: ANOTHER ONE! As awesome as it would've been to have Don in the finals, she did so INCREDIBLE and her talent is THROUGH THE ROOF! Everything I could ever want. Two incredble acts in a row. Broseph!
Sara James: That was her best performance to date, and I think that she is a dark horse right now. If the voting public is going to go with a "traditional" choice, then I think Sara is the one.
Yu Hojin: Yeah, yeah... damn it, Xboy. You must be, I don't know, making a blood sacrifice or dealing with the occult or you are the most fortunate lucky person on Planet Earth (go to Las Vegas if that is the case, you will clean house). He probably will win, and he deserves it... but the competition is very strong this year. But whatever happens happen.
Drake Milligan: Well... I think he is going to probably be the winner or pretty dang close. I am not a big fan of country music but oh well. This was an incredible Finale and I loved watching it. I hope next year is as great as it was today.
I know that I have been very vocal about someone else and anyone who has been here and on the Discord server knows who that is... I have a gut feeling... but in year's prior my gut feeling has been wrong so this year... I won't listen to it. I am going to instead go with the safe choice.
My predictions:
Drake Milligan
Yu Hojin
Sara James
Mayyas
Avery Dixon
Who it SHOULD be:
Avery Dixon
Celia Munoz
Yu Hojin
Mike E. Winfield
Kristy Sellars
America's truly got talent.
I am not going to be shocked.
