PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The stakes are higher than ever on 'America's Got Talent' as the show now enters the live segment. With only two acts making it to the finals each week, there is a lot on the line for the performers as this might be their last chance to make their dreams come true.

Stefanny explained that she and Yeeremy had been dancing since they were three and five respectively and for them to be here was their chance at achieving the "American dream". They hoped to represent immigrants who come to the country to fulfill their wishes and the duo was all set to fight and give it their all in order to achieve it.

Taking to the stage, the duo performed an intense routine to 'River' by Bishop Briggs. However, Simon hit the x buzzer in the middle of their performance. As the dance came to an end, Sofia was the first to praise the duo for their phenomenal moves and noted that Simon was "loco" to have hit the buzzer. Simon tried to defend himself, noting that he wished they would have brought something different to the table in comparison to the audition.

Fans agreed with Sofia as they felt that the performance was good and that Simon was the real issue here. "Love the dancers. Simon is cranky tonight. #AGT," said a fan. "Idk why Simon is buzzing because "oh this act needs to change something" Kinda too late for that as they're performing. They can't just change what they're doing instantly because they're buzzed. #AGT," added a fan.

"Somebody take his buzzer lol.@SimonCowell #AGT," said a fan. "I don’t understand Simon. It was very spectacular to me. I enjoyed them. #AGT," tweeted another. "@SimonCowell #AGT Ugh! Stop rattling good acts!" tweeted a fan.
