'Rigged voting!' Fans slam 'AGT: All-Stars' superfans after Aidan Bryant beats front-runner Avery Dixon

'AGT: All-Stars' ended with a spectacular season finale but Aidan Bryant's victory has infuriated viewers

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 11 of the original 60 actors returning for the season competed tonight in the finale of 'AGT: All-Stars,' but a 18-year-old self-taught aerialist won. Last week, all the contestants competed in the showdown with their most challenging and iconic performances. With his jazz saxophone number, fan-favorite Avery Dixon from Season 17 made it to the grand finals.

At Avery's performance last week, judges Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell praised him as "most improved" and "wonderful." But Aidan Bryant impressed superfans with his death-defying aerial act and was crowned the winner of 'AGT: All-Stars.' Fans of the show have criticized this decision, believing that Avery Dixon deserved to "win this whole thing."

Avery Dixon and Aidan Bryant make it to Top 2

Aidan and Avery both took the stage one last time tonight as they performed in the star-studded finale. Avery shared the stage with R&B great Babyface, recipient of 12 Grammy Awards. Babyface performed for the audience while the young saxophonist danced in a stunning pink silk outfit. Aidan was part of the first closing number of the night as he floated in the air behind Adam Lambert while he sang a cover of 'Chandelier' by Sia.

The tension on the show was palpable across the screen as Aiden and Avery were the top two contestants. Terry said, "This competition was about finding the best Got Talent act in the world. 11 acts started the night with hopes of winning, we're in the top two." As fireworks lit up the stage, Terry declared that Aiden had won the crown. The winner immediately began to cry.

'The wrong person won,' say fans 

While Avery was a gracious second runner-up, his loyal Twitter followers criticized AGT for allegedly "rigging" the results and stealing the win from the saxophonist. One fan tweeted, "The superfans who voted on #AGTAllStars were bad every week, but the fact that Kodi Lee, Tom Ball, and Avery Dixon lost is embarrassingly awful. The wrong person won… Who are these “superfans” anyway?!" Another one said, "Between the final 2 on #AGTAllStars tonight, should have gone to Avery Dixon - he was most improved, no disrespect intended for Aidan. @AGT. One more fan added, "Avery Dixon should have won this thing. #AGTAllStars." 

Fans of the show are very disappointed with the results and believe that the entire superfan vote was rigged and faked. They have clearly expressed their opinion on Twitter, as one wrote, "Who are these so-called super fans? Voting seems very rigged IMO. Disappointing." Another one added, "Watching #AGTAllStars, the show must be rigged. Or the supper fans are idiots." One more fan said, "@averydixononsax #AGTAllStars Avery Dixon should have won! I'm so angry! I hope he gets a record deal! @warnerrecords @UMG @ColumbiaRecords #AveryDixon."
