'AGT' viewers are super disappointed by judges' vote
On America's Got Talent Wednesday night, the results from Tuesday night's performances and overnight voting were revealed. While singers Archie Williams, Shaquira McGrath and Roberta Battaglia were sent through to the semifinals by America's votes, it was up to the viewers Wednesday to save Brett Loudermilk, Feng E. or Double Dragon with the live "Dunkin Save" vote during the show. After Brett Loudermilk received the Dunkin Save, it all came down to the four judges – Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and interim judge Kelly Clarkson – to decide who would get the fifth and final spot of the night: ukulele rockstar Feng E. or singing twin sisters Double Dragon. AGT viewers were "so disappointed" by Howie, Heidi and Sofia's votes for Double Dragon and took to social media to make it known. One person tweeted: "I think the AGT judges have been drinking something besides Dunkin to let Feng E go from the show," while another person wrote: "FengE was robbed! He was more entertaining and an amazing performer for his age." As for the one judge who did vote to keep Feng E., following Wednesday's show, Clarkson revealed it was her last night filling in for Simon Cowell as she tweeted: "That's a wrap! My job here is finished! Thank you @AGT for having me on these past two nights as a guest judge while @SimonCowell recovers at home. Best of luck to all the contestants that made it through tonight!
