The second season of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” saw a major change in the judging panel. Two of the four judges from season 14 of “Agt” — newcomers Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough — were replaced by returning fan favorite Heidi Klum and newcomer Alesha Dixon, who sits alongside Simon Cowell on “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Simon Cowell has really gone over to the dark side now. At the start of the Monday, January 13 episode of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” the notoriously mean British judge broke the reality TV show’s rules when he gave a Golden Buzzer to dance group Boogie Storm, thereby stealing the power from the night’s designated judge, Howie Mandel. Unlike a normal “Got Talent” season when judges can press their Golden Buzzers in any order, “Agt: The Champions” has strict rules in place so that each judge (plus host Terry Crews) has to press their buzzer on a certain day. Needless to say, Simon’s impromptu decision sent shockwaves through the studio.

Another week of America’s Got Talent: The Champions brought another series of questionable decisions made by the judges.
Howie Mandel was in possession of this week’s Golden Buzzer, and while I don’t blindly agree with every decision he makes (Hans!!!), I still believe in his right to choose. Sadly, Simon Cowell took that right from him midway through Monday’s episode, reaching across the table and slamming his hand down on the Golden Buzzer in support of — wait for it — Boogie Storm.

Congratulations to Jules O'Dwyer and her loveable border collie Matisse who won Britain's Got Talent last night (May 31). We must admit we came over a tad teary-eyed when Matisse's three-legged collie companion Skippy made his debut in their final act.
Last night's final prompted us to look back at all eight winners from the ITV talent show to see how they faired after their victories.
From Collabro to Pudsey the dog - which acts have had the most success post-bgt? Here's our ranking below:
1. Paul Potts
Paul Potts stunned the judges, audience and viewers of Bgt alike with his breathtaking rendition of 'Nessun Dorma' on the ITV talent show's first run in 2007. His audition became a YouTube sensation and was later confirmed as the fourth most viewed YouTube video in the UK.
Following his transition from Carphone Warehouse salesman to Bgt winner, Potts released his debut album One Chance...

We've had our last semi-final on Britain's Got Talent now, so it's time for our last verdict from Collabro - who just happened to perform on the show last night! This time it's the turn of Michael Auger, who admitted that the band were "nervous" to return.
"It's really odd because we've done so much, we've been on a sell out tour, we had a number one album last year, we've done so many events, the Royal Variety, and it's funny because you sort of get to a point where performing's so much what you love to do that it becomes second nature," he said. "But last night I think everything that we've learnt went out the window and we just felt like we were back in the competition!"
Michael also revealed that he thought last night was the strongest semi-final: "The top five, I wanted them all to be through.

We're coming to the end of the live semi-finals on Britain's Got Talent now, but we got a whole lot of variety in last night's show! And again, last year's winners Collabro are on hand to give us their verdict - this time, it's the turn of Thomas Redgrave.
He knows exactly what it's like to be on the show, which might help when Collabro return to perform tonight. "I don't know if some of the other boys are nervous but either it hasn't hit me yet or I'm not feeling too bad!" he joked. "I think it's going to be fun actually to go back and be on that stage again and perform in front of all the judges. It will be very nostalgic. I think it's more than nerves - it's very prideful to be going back as the winners. I'm really looking forward to it - I'm just going to enjoy it.

It was another eventful Britain's Got Talent semi-final round tonight (May 28) as two more acts advanced to the finals.
Teenage pianist Isaac Waddington received an instant pass by topping the viewer voting, while Simon Cowell and his fellow judges chose to save family singing group The Neales.
New X Factor co-host Olly Murs also got in on the action by dazzling the judges with his new single 'Beautiful to Me'.

Collabro know exactly what it's like to be on a Britain's Got Talent live show, so every day we've been getting their verdict on the previous night's acts. And today, it's the turn of Richard Hadfield, who thought last night's show was "fantastic" (if "a mixed bag").
And Richard knows what Britain's Got Talent can do for an act. "We've had a number one album, we've travelled halfway across the world, performed to 20 million people on Japanese television," he said. "We're going to America, we just signed a massive American record deal. We performed at the Royal Variety which was amazing, to meet Kate and Wills, and we've got a second album coming out. It's just all overwhelming, and when any of us just get to have a moment's break and just think about the things we've done in a short period of time - we're so appreciative of Britain's Got Talent...

And in fact, the boys are still such big Britain's Got Talent fans that they thought they'd swing by to perform on Friday's show - why not, eh? Matt revealed this morning that he's "so excited" about going back to the studios.
So without further ado, let's see what Matt thought of each of the acts last night.

Britain's Got Talent winners Collabro have signed a Us record deal with Sony Masterworks.
The Sun reports that the contract - which will see them releasing in the Us this summer - is worth £1m.
Sony Masterworks' senior vice president Mark Cavell described Collabro as "tremendously talented".
"I am sure they will win over both the hearts and ears of Americans," he added.
Meanwhile, Collabro member Jamie Lambert said that he has seen a lot of fans "campaigning for Us promotion" online.

"Who knows what this year might bring?" he added. "This time last year we'd only just auditioned for Bgt so anything can happen."
