FINE WITH IT
ANGELICA Hale, the 11-year-old Filipino-American who made huge buzz as the first-ever double golden buzzer contestant on “America’s Got Talent” (AGT), has bowed out of the show’s “Champions” edition.
As announced Monday (Tuesday, Manila time), Hale fell short of making it to the show’s Top 5 despite another superb performance last week.
She is far from distraught, however.
Hale tweeted, “Well guys, I didn’t make it this time, but that’s ok! This was an amazingly fun run.
“So thankful for all the fans I picked up along the way! U guys are the best & I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world.”
“I’ve been working so hard and I have big plans coming up. I can’t wait to share it with you all very soon!!! Love always,” she added.
Hale was equally upbeat prior to the announcement, tweeting, “No matter WHO wins on Monday... WE are all CHAMPIONS!!! What a privilege to join these amazing & talented acts from all over the world.”
She also thanked show judge Howie Mandel, among her biggest supporters.
“America’s Got Talent: The Champions” named CanadianAmerican magician Shin Lim as winner.
Other finalists were Kseniya Simonova of “Ukraine’s Got Talent,” singer Cristina Ramos of “Spain’s Got Talent,” and comedian Preacher Lawson.
Hale first joined “America’s Got Talent” in 2017 where she received her first Golden
Buzzer and finished second.
