'That act was horrible': 'AGT: Fantasy League' judge Simon Cowell slammed for rooting for Wes P over Grace Good
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' was all about the return of some of the top 40 talents of the franchise. However, the second week's two performance has sparked debate on social media.
In the latest episode, Wes-P ripped off his shirt and attached clips to his nipples. The comedian's performance got more cringy after he attached plungers to his breasts which lit on fire.
Wes-P was on Simon Cowell's team and the judge tried his best to defend his contestant. Meanwhile, Grace Good, who took a risk and delivered an 'amazing' Ariel hoop performance, was criticized by the NBC show judge.
Simon claimed that Grace's performance wasn't enough. However, the viewers compared Wes-P and Grace's performances and slammed Simon for criticizing the best act.
An X user praised Grace and wrote, "This is an amazing performance by grace good."
Another person compared Wes-P and Grace's act, "#AGT is amazing because you can have a grown woman do every kind of gymnastics at master levels of skills and get told that it "isn't enough" and then some overgrown man child comes out and sticks plungers to his titties to acclaim."
Another critic noted, "I'm with Mel B! She wasn't having it!! I'm all for different and unique, but that act was horrible! Sorry, not sorry!"
Another internet user wrote, "Simon REALLY thinks this act is worth it?! What is wrong with him?!?!"
Another social media user tweeted, "That act was a waste of oxygen!"
Another viewer penned, "The "Wes" act was a DISASTER @SimonCowell and @OfficialMelB is 100% correct."
#AGT is amazing because you can have a grown woman do every kind of gymnastics at master levels of skills and get told that it "isn't enough" and then some overgrown man child comes out and sticks plungers to his titties to acclaim.

Grace Good brings new elements to her 'Hoop' act
Grace Good is a hoop artist and levelled up her act with new shocking elements. In the recent episode of 'America's Got Talent' spinoff, Grace ditched silks and balanced herself on a huge ball as she worked with several hula hoops set on fire.
She concluded her performance by twirling round fiery torches. Simon Cowell criticized Grace's performance and noted that he didn't notice any unique selling point.
However, other NBC show judges disagreed with Simon. Meanwhile, Howie Mandel suggested that Grace lost her nerve and made a mistake during her act.
Grace reached a step new to the 'AGT: Fantasy League' finale as she advanced to the semi-finale.
Wes-P eliminated in 'AGT: Fantasy League' Week 2
After the cringy performance, Wes-P was eliminated during 'AGT: Fantasy League' Week 2. He failed to grab a spot in the semifinals and impress the live audience especially Mel B.
Wes-P was on Simon Cowell's dream team and delivered a half-naked performance. Mel B didn't like his performance and pushed the red buzzer.
She also noted, "I've just wasted 4 minutes of my life."
'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' airs on Mondays on NBC at 8 pm ET.
