Magician Dustin Tavella returns to 'AGT', unhappy fans call his guest act 'sooooo boring'

'How this guy won I will never understand. #AGT and clearly it hasn’t improved,' wrote a fan after watching Dustin Tavella's guest act

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Things are heating up on 'America's Got Talent' Season 17. After shortlisting 54 talents during the auditions, just eleven performers were given the opportunity to showcase their talents yet again during the Lives Show. Of the eleven acts, only two of them will be advancing to the finale. 

Before the talent-hunt show's host Terry Crews read out the highly-anticipated results, the audience had to sit through a quick recap segment of all the eleven performances, and a pre-elimination round. After the pre-elimination, where six performers were sent home, Terry was all set to make yet another announcement to reveal the Top 3 contenders from the Top 5. But before making the big reveal, he brought out Season 16's winner magician Dustin Tavella for a special guest act. As soon as Tavella stepped onto the stage, the show's fans were disappointed. Though he brought in Sofia Vergara and Sarah Hyland to help him out during his magic act, fans were still unimpressed.
