America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League: Semi-Final Week 2 Preview

America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League is moving steadily toward the conclusion of its eight-week season. The second and final semi-final show airs on Monday (Feb 5) and will showcase the last 10 acts battling for the remaining spots in the finals. They are competing for placement alongside the four Golden Buzzer acts the judges sent directly through during the Qualifiers. With only three final spots still up for grabs, the stakes are high and the competition promises dramatic moments and standout performances.

So far this season the Golden Buzzer recipients include: Billy and Emily England (Team Mel), Ramadhani Brothers (Team Howie), Sainted (Team Simon), and Sofie Dossi (Team Heidi). Among the other semi-finalists already advancing are Kodi Lee, whom Howie Mandel used his steal to bring onto his team, and Aidan Bryant, whom Mel B. stole from Heidi Klum. During the prior semi-final the audience vote also moved Pack Drumline (Team Simon) into the finals.

For this final semi-final episode, Simon Cowell and Heidi Klum each hold the Golden Buzzer on their teams heading into the show, and more strategic steals or surprise twists could still change the lineup. Expect a mix of high-energy dance and acrobatics, inventive visual acts, powerful vocal performances, and emotional storytelling. America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League airs on NBC Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT.

Here are the 10 acts competing in the semi-finals week 2
