LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The votes are in! The winner of 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' will be revealed in the February 27 episode, but fans are discontent with the delay.

Before host Terry Crews unveils the winner, the finale showcases guest artists Calum Scott, Robin S, Sheila E, and Steven Sanchez. Drake Milligan, Chapel Hart, Loren Allred, and Brian Justin Crum. Olympic gold winner David Taylor joins one of the finalists for a performance.

However, on X, fans express frustration, "I swear, every...single... #AGT finale has so much filler time in it. And it's times like this I watched it the next day to just fast forward through the filler content." Another user chimed in, "This is taking forever."



 



 

One user further tweeted, "Here we go aside from the recaps yawn." A fourth user quipped, "What're the chances I complain about how long it is taking for the results?" 



 



 

On Facebook, fans complained, "Your finale had too much time with judges being silly." While others sighed, "the producers thinks the viewing audience likes that."

One user also wrote, "Not a fan of these time killers."

Chapel Hart returns for 'AGT: Fantasy League' finale

While not vying for the top spot on 'AGT: Fantasy League' this year, Chapel Hart took the stage as guest performers during the season finale. The Poplarville trio announced their appearance on February 16 via Instagram, assuring fans, "We promise you won't be disappointed."
