Why were Presley Rae and Taylor Termini eliminated? Fans slam 'AGT' judges for being 'harsh' on country singers

Country singer sisters Presley Rae and Taylor Termini did not get even a single yes from judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara on 'AGT'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' judges do not always say yes to the contestants. Sometimes, they eliminate even the deserving ones. The same happened in the sixth audition round of the show. Country singer sisters Presley Rae and Taylor Termini did not get even a single yes from judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara.

'AGT' Season 18 fans believe the country singers' skills were worth moving ahead in the show. They were upset when they did not get a chance to be a part of the show. The viewers called out the judges as they theorized why the judges eliminated Presley and Taylor.

Why were Presley Rae and Taylor Termini eliminated?

Fans wondered why country singer sisters Presley and Taylor were eliminated from the show. Fans felt that some of the singers who had a sob story to tell to the judges went ahead in the show, however, Presley and Taylor did not have any sad background story and hence, failed to win the judges' attention. A viewer tweeted, "If only the country singing sisters had a sob backstory, they would’ve at least got 4 YES’s, Those two can sing! But unfortunately #AGT looks for drama first then talent second."

Another said, "@AGT I think that country music is a cultural thing and these #agt judges do not know or understand the culture, perhaps because I do not think any of them were born in America. I loved the country music singing sisters. I would have said yes."

A fan slammed Sofia and said, "@SofiaVergara #AGT Hit the X button why let people who aren’t good enough continue as those sister singers?" Another called out Howie and wrote, "@howiemandel #AGT Why didn’t you all hit the X so those sisters stopped singing they’re not an AGT act?"

'Shame on judges of #AGT'

As not even a single judge said yes to Presley and Taylor, one viewer tweeted, "Shame on judges of #AGT for "no-ing" the country sisters. You've put thru many worse acts. They deserve a 2nd chance @howiemandel @SofiaVergara @heidiklum @SimonCowell."

Another slammed the show and wrote, "Who spit in your Sonic slushies? 4 no's for the country sisters?? Dang that's harsh." Furthermore, a shocked fan said, "I can't believe you four put the sword swallower through and not the talented Nashville country band/sisters through!! He was disgusting and gross!! That was ridiculous!!"

"I couldn't with #AGT tonight. I stopped watching after they rightfully didn't put the country singing sisters through. From what I could tell they already had a lot of opportunities presented to them that a ton of other acts have not (a band, recording in a studio, etc," tweeted another.
