The Ramadhani Brothers were crowned champions of America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League during Monday’s explosive two-hour finale episode on NBC.

‘Ramadhani Brothers, you are the champions!’ said host Terry Crews, 55.

“I’m so proud of you,” Howie said. ‘What you do is so dangerous, so inspiring. You deserve this. You are superstars! World stars!’

Terry then gave Howie a ring for being the show’s winning mentor. Howie jokingly got down on one knee as Terry pulled out the ring box. Howie put on the ring and proudly showed it to the crowd.

The action-packed two-hour show opened with a dazzling performance by the Ramadhani Brothers and roller skaters Billy & Emily England from Las Vegas, while self-trained aerialist Aidan Bryant from Prince George, Virginia, a former AGT winner, spun from high above the ground . audience. Returning contestant Brian Justin Crum and Loren Allred sang the opening song This Is The Greatest Show.

Simon Cowell, 64, said winning the AGT: Fantasy League was about more than just the money.

“It’s the best of the best,” Simon said. ‘Everyone has been brilliant, but they are also incredibly competitive. …To win this tonight, yeah, I’m not gonna lie. That’s a big problem.’

The finalists performed compelling duets with returning AGT contestants and industry legends. Singer Kodi Lee from Irvine, California, collaborated with singer Steven Sanchez on his hit Until I Found You. Kodi, who is legally blind and autistic, dressed in white as he played the piano and wowed the audience with his amazing musical skills.

“It was such an honor to perform with him,” Kodi said after their duet.

Country artist Drake Milligan, 25, took the stage and performed his hit What I Couldn’t Forget. He was followed by the Chapel Hart singing trio with You Can Have Him Jolene. The audience clapped along as they sang.

The show also had a cute skit where the judges’ emojis were shown and they had to guess which contestant they were representing.

The Sainted choir from Charlotte, North Carolina performed with Robin S, 61, singing her hit Show Me Love.

During the show, Howie commented that he liked that this version of the show gave them the opportunity to supervise the acts. Howie said Simon took it to another level and had his contestants come to his house.

“Simon’s mentorship is like a playdate because everyone had to go to his house to be a mentor,” Howie said.

“How come we were never invited,” said 50-year-old Heidi Klum.

Simon said he would be upset if one of his acts didn’t win.
