PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The finale episode of 'America's Got Talent' Season 17 had more twists and turns than a Telemundo series. As the talent hunt show's host Terry Crews began announcing the names of the contestants from amongst the Top 11 finalists who would be advancing to subsequent rounds, fans experienced a myriad of feelings from joy to disappointment.

So, when Terry revealed that two of the fan-favorite contestants- singer Sara James and saxophonist Avery Dixon didn't make the cut to the Top 5. Instead, country music group Chapel Hart was advancing to the Top 5, fans were left fuming. 'AGT' fans were especially upset over Avery's result, as many fans were rooting for him to be at least amongst the Top 3 considering his emotional back story and exceptional talent.
