LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: From being dubbed as 'Susan Boyle's grandson' to receiving the group golden buzzer from all the judges on 'America's Got Talent: All Stars', British singer Tom Ball may have received all the validation on NBC show, but unfortunately, the same can't be said when it comes to the fans' feelings towards his performance.

The Season 15 finalist from 'Britain's Got Talent' stepped onto the 'AGT' stage and delivered a moving performance to 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel. The school teacher's moving performance earned him the coveted golden buzzer from the judges- Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and host Terry Crews. While the judges couldn't stop raving about his flawless vocals and declaring that he's a solid frontrunner, 'AGT' fans had a vastly different take on it. From trashing Tom's performance to saying that his fellow performer Mandy Harvey deserved the golden buzzer over him, the fans had a lot of strong feelings.

Mandy Harvey deserved the Golden Buzzer

Aside from trashing Tom's performance, fans also felt that his competitor, Mandy Harvey, deserved the golden buzzer over him.

A fan shared, "I can't believe he got the golden buzzer but Mandy Harvey did not. She sang circles around him." "I think the judges blew that golden buzzer on #AGTAllStars. #MandyHarvey and #AxelBlake were both better than that guy," seconded a fan.
