The latest episode of 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' brought forth both awe and confusion as Heidi Klum's dream team member, Yu Hojin, took the stage for his semifinal act. While many in the audience and online expressed admiration for his magical performance, judges Mel B and Simon Cowell were left scratching their heads.
Heidi Klum introduced Yu Hojin with high expectations, praising his ability to consistently innovate and surprise the audience. The magic act unfolded a love story through sleight-of-hand feats.
However, not everyone was on the same page. Mel B openly admitted to not grasping the narrative conveyed by Yu Hojin's magic, enlisting a few audience members to support her view.
In contrast, Howie Mandel offered a different perspective, asserting that the comprehension of the plot wasn't crucial; what mattered was the effectiveness of the magic itself.
Simon Cowell, too, acknowledged his confusion, further fueling the debate among the judges. This uncertainty created a divisive atmosphere on the panel, with opinions sharply divided on whether Yu Hojin had done enough to secure a spot in the finals.
On X, some slammed the judges for being overly critical, with one fan describing the act as "perfect" and "smooth like butter." Others on social media echoed these sentiments, stating they thoroughly enjoyed the performance and understood the magic.
Wow! Judges were really harsh! I thought it was perfect! What I saw here at home was Smooth like butter! I loved him!!!
