Who Are The Golden Buzzers On Agt 2022

Okay, let's talk America's Got Talent! Specifically, the Golden Buzzers from 2022. We all love them, right? Or... do we?

The Usual Suspects (and Some Spicy Takes)

First up, there's Avery Dixon. Terry Crews slammed that buzzer! A saxophonist with a great story? Classic AGT fodder.

But honestly, I was tearing up just watching it. Not gonna lie, a little too manufactured dramatic backstory for my taste.

Howie's Pick: Maddie Baillo

Howie Mandel picked Maddie Baillo. A young singer with a big voice. Seems legit.

She was good! But, uh, did she REALLY need a Golden Buzzer? I'm just asking questions here.

Heidi's Choice: Lily Meola

Heidi Klum went for Lily Meola. Another singer! A very polished singer. I like Heidi's taste.

Her voice was great and backstory touching, but this show is about talent, shouldn't the talent be more stand-out than the story?

Sofia's Star: Mayyas

Sofia Vergara loved Mayyas, a Lebanese dance group. They were visually stunning.

Okay, I'll admit it. They deserved it. Even I can't complain. Their performance was captivating.

Simon's Favorite: Sara James

And then there's Simon Cowell. Of course, he went with a singer, Sara James. Did anyone expect anything else?

Look, she's talented, but the whole thing felt predictable. Simon and pop singers. Name a more iconic duo.

Unpopular Opinions Incoming!

Don't get me wrong, everyone who got a Golden Buzzer is talented. It's America's Got Talent, after all.

But sometimes it feels like the "talent" is secondary to the "story." Am I the only one who thinks this?

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man yelling at a TV. But hey, at least I'm honest!

And honestly, there were others that season who I thought were way more deserving. Like, where was the love for the truly weird and unique acts?

I miss the days of people swallowing swords and balancing lawnmowers on their chins. The danger acts! Those were the days! Okay, I'm done reminiscing.

I get it. AGT wants to pull at our heartstrings. But can we have a little more, you know, actual shock and awe?

In Conclusion (Probably Just Going to Get Me Hate Mail)

So, who WERE the Golden Buzzers of 2022? They were talented people with compelling stories.

But did they all deserve the golden shower of confetti? That, my friends, is up for debate.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch some old clips of people juggling chainsaws. Because apparently, that's what I consider "talent."

Just kidding... mostly. Maybe. Don't @ me!
