Did Tyler Butler-Figueroa deserve to win 'America's Got Talent: The Champions' Season 2? Well, a few fans sure think so. 

'America's Got Talent: The Champions' Season 2 announced its title winner and the best in the world on February 17 night, and sadly it wasn't Tyler Butler-Figueroa. The high-flying dance troupe from Mumbai, India, took home the championship trophy after they emerged victorious in the "Olympics of talent". 

The series kicked off its grand finale with a performance by KISS, followed by other guest performers that included Travis Barker, Lindsey Stirling, Kodi Lee, Shin Lim, Colin Cloud, Kseniya Simonova and  Modern Circus Mega Mix. The guest performers, took to the stage with the 10 finalists for one last time, before the winner was crowned. 



 

Judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel also returned to their seats along with host Terry Crews.

It was a nail-biting ending because every act that made it to the finale was unique in their own way. Though everyone is a winner in their own way, sadly only one could take home the title as the best in the world, and fans are upset that it wasn't Tyler. 

In what was a really tough competition, Tyler came in third place, beating Marcelito Pomoy, Angelina Jordon, Boogie Storm, Hans, Alexa Lauenburger, Sandou Trio Russian Bar and Silhouettes.

Tyler first appeared on 'America's Got Talent: Season 14' where he won Simon's golden buzzer after his audition.

The young violinist is a cancer survivor and has been under remission for over four years. Though Tyler made it till the finale of Season 14, he didn't win. Back again for 'AGT: The Champions' Season 2, fans were rooting for this young contestant's win. 

He made it till the finale with the votes from superfans, and when it came to the final reveal, Tyler ranked third. This left a few fans upset as the affirm that Tyler deserved to win the title.
