This season was pretty good ngl. AGT has been declining since like idk, S14? This was a season we weren't expecting, and sure, one reason in a bad way, but the talent in the finale makes up for it! Does just 3 singer acts? Wow! 8 countries representing the finale? Awesome! Is it the best season? Maybe not. But did some of the characteristics make up for the controversial format? Definitely. Sorry, I revolved it around 1 reason, but I'm sure there are a lot more reasons than 1 lol
