Once the fans learned about the update, they couldn't keep calm, flooding the comments section with messages of excitement for Season 21. A fan wrote, "Just signed up! 🔥." Another echoed, "Sent mine in already. Send the call back 😂." Chiming in, a netizen penned, "I literally just signed back up ♥️."



 

Meanwhile, a netizen dropped a suggestion in the comments that read, "Why don't you separate the shows from a children's show for 18 and under an adult shuttle for 18 plus to give more adults a second chance. Most of the time, the kids end up stealing spots from adults who deserve a second chance. These kids have the rest of their lives. They can do a AGT Junior show." A person also slammed, "So you have Mel B on there as your singing performance pro, but what had she ever done other than Spice Girls lol. For me, an expert is an ongoing musician, someone who is still making music, not someone who was kinda big in the 90s, and I say kinda because the Spice Girls weren’t the best. I, for one, don’t even remember their names. They had a couple of good songs; other than that, they were okay. It’s just annoying that she is your musical 'expert'. She hasn’t done anything in 20 years."
