Simon Cowell is shocked on 'America's Got Talent.' (Photo: NBC)Īnd many viewers were in agreement with Simon this time around, with one fan, John Clark, tweeting, “MetaPhysic should win #AGT. What could actually secure MetaPhysic the Season 17 championship was another special “guest performer.” For their final number, MetaPhysic made good on their promise to digitally resurrect “the greatest rock act ever,” and they brought Elvis Presley back to life onstage. Later, a deepfake Howie and Terry Crews joined in for an artificially intelligent quarterfinals performance of “Nessun Dorma,” and this week, MetaPhysic further curried the judges’ favor by including Uncanny Valley fembot facsimiles of Heidi and Sofia Vergara as backup singers alongside the faux Simon.īut Sofia and Heidi aren’t what gave MetaPhysic the edge this week. Of course, Simon is probably biased, since MetaPhysic have always made Simon - or at least a creepy cyborg Simon - part of their shtick, reimagining him as a world-class opera tenor. Two weeks ago, Simon Cowell hyperbolically declared MetaPhysic the greatest act in AGT history.
The America’s Got Talent Season 17 finals took place Tuesday, with some of the 11 contestants rising to the challenge - like Australian pole dancer/multimedia storyteller Kristy Sellars, whom judge Howie Mandel described as “perfection,” and Lebanese dance troupe me Mayyas, whom Howie said were “so great for women, female empowerment, and your culture” and Heidi Klum called a “million-dollar act.” Others, however, sadly fell short of their previous high expectations, like Dolly Parton-championed country music trio Chapel Hart, whose original song “American Pride” showcased their surprising vocal shortcomings and likely doomed their chances.īut it’s looking like all of those contestants could get upstaged and outranked by an augmented-reality gimmick contestant, MetaPhysic.
