While XOMG Pop wowed the judges, fans believe that they have an unfair advantage in the form of JoJo Siwa

If there is one that 'America's Got Talent' judges can spot in an instant, it would have to be star talent. So when it came to XOMG Pop, the fact that the group was founded by none other than JoJo and Jessalynn Siwa certainly gave the young girls an edge. The moment the XOMG Pop took the stage, Simon Cowell was quick to ask if their act was about world domination, to which they replied it was, but in a loving way through music. The girls were all set to perform their original number, 'Candy Hearts'.
