'America's Got Talent: The Champions' Season 2 just revealed the three contestants who advanced to the semifinals and fans are upset that Luke Islam isn't one of them.

'AGT: The Champions' aired Episode 2 on Monday night, and 10 new contestants took to the stage to give it their all. Sadly only three could advance to the semi-finals and one contestant went directly to the finals with the golden buzzer.

The first two acts making it to the semifinals will be selected by superfans from the 50 states. The final semi-finalist will be selected by the judges. 

The act advancing to the finale was Boogie Storm who won the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell. Cowell stole Howie Mandel's golden buzzer which left everyone in shock, making it one of the most controversial golden buzzer moments.

The two acts who advanced through the superfans vote were Marcelito Pomoy and Marc Spellman.



 

When it came to the judges save, all four judges decided to save comedian Ryan Neimillier who ranked third in 'America's Got Talent' Season 14. Though Ryan deserved the spot in the finale, fans were upset that Luke didn't make it through. 

Luke Islam made it to the semifinals during 'America's Got Talent' Season 14. He was one of the front runners, and ever since then, Luke also had the chance of performing in Broadway, which was his ultimate dream.

Back again this week, he performed a stunning rendition to Celine Dion's 'Ashes' from 'Deadpool'. Though his performance was amazing, one could notice that he let his nerves get the better of him.

Simon shared that though he loves Luke, he didn't love his performance this week. Sadly, Luke didn't make it to the semi-finals this time but his fans on Twitter have affirmed that he deserved the spot, with many claiming that he was better than golden buzzer winner Boogie Storm. 

"Alright that's it I’m so salty about that whole dance group golden buzzer thing, Luke should've and would've made it through if it wasn't for that I'm convinced #AGTChampions," a fan wrote.

Another said, "@SimonCowell #AGTChampions not watching again.....Luke should have been your choice."



 

"It's a shame because Luke belongs there more than Boogie Kings or whatever their name is. A completely wasted golden buzzer by Simon #AGTChampions," shared a fan while another wrote, "@terrycrews #AGTChampions tuning AGT off....they messed up not voting for Luke Islam! Not watching your show anymore..." 

"Seriously!? You chose a guy who is NOT funny at all over Luke!? Your choices continue to get worse each week. Can’t wait to see your choices next week #AGTChampions," said a fan. 

Do you think Luke deserved the spot in the semifinals? Let us know in the comments below. 

'America's Got Talent: The Champions' Season 2 airs every Monday night only on NBC. Check your local listings for more information.
