That kind of showcase is a total game-changer for any performer and that is exactly what NBC’s popular and iconic talent hunt reality show is here to provide.

But with each succeeding year, the bar gets set a little higher. The show now has high expectations to be deemed worthy by the studio audience, judges and viewers at home. Each artist and act has to give in their thousand percent so that they all have a fair and real chance to win Season 17 of ‘America’s Got Talent’. Judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara are not opposed to giving some career-grounding advice so the contestants had better be prepared, But contestant Shenay Kloss may be less worried than most because she boasts of a skill very few have — dealing with novelty insects and bugs that are usually seen as prime fodder for nightmares.
