"Wrong call, Heidi": Fans slam AGT judges for giving the golden buzzer to the third singer this season

Season 17 of America's Got Talent (AGT) was back with another interesting episode on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 8 pm on NBC. The evening saw contestants put their best foot forward to impress the judges and the live audience to potentially move forward in the competition and win the coveted title and the million dollar prize money.While some have a hard time impressing the audience, some manage to stun the judges to earn a spot on the live show by receiving a golden buzzer from one of the judges. Tuesday was 17-year-old singer Lily Meola's day as she impressed the judges with her performance and earned a golden buzzer from Heidi Klum.However, fans were disappointed to have the golden buzzer go to a singer again. This season has already seen golden buzzers given out to two more singers, Madison Baez and Sara James, and one to musician Avery Dixon. One fan tweeted:Jacob Elyachar@JacobElyacharI am going to be very BLUNT! Lily SHOULD NOT have received the Golden Buzzer! MPLUSPLUS should have received it.

I see a light around you, and I don't know..I immediately fell in love with you.

Personally I would like for a comedian or an Acrobat act win the show, but I understand singers being on this show. #AGT41Sometimes I get why people don’t care for singers on this show, but y’all need to remember it takes talent to be able to singer and it is a Talent show.

We have too many singers. The bar is too high. “Good” isn’t good enough. #AGT101She’s a good singer, and it’s a good song, but neither blow me away. We have too many singers. The bar is too high. “Good” isn’t good enough. #AGTWhile on stage, Lily revealed that she would be singing a self-composed song titled Daydream and that the meaning of the song had evolved over the past couple of years. She said:&quot;I wrote it at a time in my life when things were really beautiful. And I was essentially living my daydream. I had a major label record deal..I had butterflies I was hatching.. It was just--it was magical. It was just so beautiful. And I wanted other people to be able to feel that. And so that's where it originated.&quot;However, she continued to reveal that her life then &quot;flipped upside down.&quot; She added:&quot;My mom was diagnosed with cancer. And I became her full-time caretaker. I lost my record deal during that, but maybe I think it was a bit of a blessing, 'cause it gave me some extra time to really be there for her. But she passed away.&quot; View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAlthough the AGT contestant was worried how she would get through the whole song without crying, she confessed that music was something that she and her mother really connected with and was the reason why she fell in love with music, and she wanted to make her mother proud.The judges applauded Lily for her spirit and told her that her mother would be proud of her singing. Lily has now joined Avery Dixon, Madison Baez, Sara James and Mayyas to go straight to the live shows.America’s Got Talent@AGTWhich one of @merissaria's impressions surprised you the most? #AGT11721Which one of @merissaria's impressions surprised you the most? #AGT https://t.co/W9MzK2YhGUSeason 17 of America's Got Talent (AGT) saw contestants bring more energy, passion and the will to win the competition with fan favorite celebrity judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel on the judging panel.America's Got Talent (AGT) has been extremely popular amongst viewers, and this year, the competition has only amped up and lived up to its name of being one of the most popular reality talent shows on television.
