“America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” concluded Monday night with the “Finale Results” that determined which of the season’s 60 all-star acts from across global AGT franchises became “All-Stars Champion.” Last week, the 11 finalists performed for the final time, hoping to be selected by the superfans as the winner. Tonight, they returned to the stage to hear the results and to perform in a finale celebration alongside each other and a star-studded lineup of guests.

In this new spin-off series, former “Got Talent” contestants competed in a six-week audition showdown to determine which acts would advance this final stage of the competition. Five of the acts advanced as Golden Buzzer picks from the judges and the other six were chosen by a select group of superfans from across the country. The 11 finalist acts were Aidan Bryant, Aidan McCann, Ana-Maria Mărgean, Avery Dixon, Bello Sisters, Detroit Youth Choir, Kodi Lee, Light Balance Kids, Mike E. Winfield, Power Duo, and Tom Ball.

8:13 p.m. – The first special performance featured Aidan Bryant and Bello Sisters in a majestic combined performance on stage with Adam Lambert singing “Chandelier” from his new covers album “High Drama.” It was a treat for Simon to see Adam back on stage in front of him and he was grateful to him for coming to the show.
