AGT: All-Stars: A Slip-Up Almost Costs One Act The Win In Week 2 — Watch

Eight more beloved acts were sent packing on Monday as AGT: All-Stars rolled through its second week of auditions.

The episode brought back 10 familiar acts from around the world — beatboxing/flute duo Divyansh & Manuraj, singer Sara James, Malambo dance group Malevo, hip-hop musician Tone the Chief, magician Dustin Tavella, aerialist Aidan Bryant, ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, stand-up comic Jackie Fabulous, the Detroit Youth Choir and dancer Vitoria Bueno — for a second chance at victory.

Or in some cases, a chance at a second victory. Divyansh & Manuraj previously won Season 9 of India's Got Talent in 2022, while Tavella won America's Got Talent the year before. Needless to say, the competition was fierce. But you know what? I'll say it anyway for dramatic effect: the competition was fierce.

So, which pair of acts is moving forward to compete with last week's lucky twosome, Light Balance Kids and Bello Sisters? Read on to see how everyone fared on Monday, complete with video of each audition, then drop a comment with your thoughts. Were the right acts sent through?

SAFE (GOLDEN BUZZER WINNER): Detroit Youth Choir

The runners-up of AGT Season 14 came back to finish what they started, delivering an uplifting performance of "Thunder." (OK, seriously, does this show have some sort of deal with Imagine Dragons? Enough is enough, people.)

Still, it was impossible to deny the impact that the choir's performance had on its audience. Crews certainly couldn't deny it, leaping down to the judges' panel and smashing the Golden Buzzer.

ELIMINATED: Dustin Tavella

Like magic, the winner of AGT Season 16 returned to the stage to remind the voters how he earned his title. He even enlisted Klum and Terry Crews as his assistants for a special act about the power of encouraging words. (Impressive and inspirational? Come on, now!)

ELIMINATED: Jackie Fabulous

She may not have gotten a kiss from Cowell this time around, but the semifinalist from AGT Season 14 still brought plenty of laughs to the All Stars stage with a routine about the changes she's been experiencing since turning 50.

ELIMINATED: Jamie Leahey

The young ventriloquist, who placed second in Britain's Got Talent Season 15, was joined by his chicken puppet Chuck for a bit of "old-school comedy." The ventriloquy was impressive, the chemistry was real and a good time was had by all. Not too shabby for Leahey's first-ever visit to the United States.

ELIMINATED: Malevo

Heidi Klum had a big ol' smile on her face when these AGT Season 11 semifinalists showed up for another round of Malambo dance magic. From the powerful drumming to the perfectly synchronized steps, the energy in the auditorium was electric. And did accordions just become... sexy? These guys really can do it all.

ELIMINATED: Sara James

Simon Cowell still remembers smashing the Golden Buzzer for this AGT Season 17 finalist, and we expect he'll also remember the Imogen Heap-ish cover of Harry Styles' "As It Was" that Sara brought to this competition. Beaming from the panel with pride, he told her he was "genuinely" blown away by the artistry she brought to the performance.

ELIMINATED: Tone the Chief

In his quest to become a one-hit wonder, Tone made it to the AGT Season 8 semifinals with a single song. And if you thought he was going to switch up that strategy for All Stars, think again! "When duty calls, or should I say booty calls, we shut the house down," he told (warned?) the audience before launching into yet another performance of "B Double O T Y."

ELIMINATED (THIRD PLACE): Vitoria Bueno

This 18-year-old dancer, who was born with no arms, was the runner-up in Season 15 of Got Talent in Germany. And can you say you're surprised? The graceful artistry she brought to that stage this week... frankly, she would have been my Golden Buzzer pick if I had one to give.

At least the superfans had enough taste to vote her into their Top 3.

ELIMINATED (RUNNERS-UP): Divyansh and Manuraj

If you're going to say that your act "has never been done on a Got Talent show," you'd better have the stuff to back it up — and this duo definitely did. The judges ate up the pair's "Bollywood-meets-Brooklyn" vibe, which was a perfect fit for "Believer" by Imagine Dragons. The flute! The beatboxing! The kindly designer who showed little interest in meeting Howie Mandel! It was a solid way to kick off Episode 2 and a well-deserved victory lap for these winners of India's Got Talent.

The superfans loved what these two were selling, just not quite enough for them to stay in the game.

SAFE (SUPERFAN VOTE WINNER): Aidan Bryant

This AGT Season 16 runner-up brought his impressive aerial skills back to the competition, once again turning Klum into a nervous wreck in the process. Ruelle's "Game of Survival" provided the perfect emotional backdrop for Bryant's dizzying, gravity-defying antics. He did admit to slipping a bit (yikes!), but he "made it work" in the end.

The superfans then made it work for Bryant, giving him the most votes and sending him through to the next round.
