Americas Got Talent: the Champions is a great variety show/talent contest. If you have not seen it, it is worth watching. Got Talent contestants from around the world who have either won the competition in their country or felt to deserve another shot at being the best are asked back to compete. One act is given the golden buzzer and another is voted on by the viewing audience. Only two acts go through to the finals. Two former Britain's Got Talent contestants have already gone through: the infamous Susan Boyle and singer Paul Potts who won BGT 11 years ago.
In the regular season shows I like the golden buzzer but in this version I do not. The judge selected to hit the golden buzzer has to make a decision before he/she has heard all the acts. If the best act has already performed, then he/she can't go back. Several acts that got the golden buzzer did not deserve it and it was obvious after everyone had performed.
If the Champions want to keep the golden buzzer, then make it a total panel secret ballot after everyone has performed and before the voting results are announced. I think it would make for a fairer competition and set up and America versus the Judges competition as well as the competition
among the contestants. Only the best of the best should go through and the golden buzzer isn't working.
