LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, Episode 15, the vocal group L6 returned to the stage with a heartfelt performance of "Rewrite the Stars" from 'The Greatest Showman.' Their rendition aimed to showcase their powerful vocal range and unity. Despite the recent challenges they faced, including the devastation from a hurricane that struck their home, the group delivered a performance that was both emotionally and technically impressive.

Howie Mandel criticized the group, calling their act “corny” and suggesting it didn't fit into today's music landscape. He was skeptical about their ability to succeed in the modern music scene. On the other hand, Heidi Klum took a more positive stance. She was deeply impressed by L6’s vocal performance and their ability to return to the stage with such strength. Klum praised their act as "Broadway-worthy," emphasizing their impressive vocal harmonies and the emotional depth they brought to the performance. She appreciated the group's dedication and talent, contrasting sharply with Mandel’s more critical view.
