Mike Yung
58-year-old singer Mike Yung was a memorable contestant on season 12 of America’s Got Talent. Prior to competing on the show, Yung went viral as a New York City subway singer for a video of him singing “Unchained Melody.”
Junior Creative Dance Crew
Junior Creative Dance Crew joins the show from Myanmar, where they finished in the top 5 of Myanmar’s Got Talent season 2 and ultimately won Myanmar’s talent competition’s fifth season when they returned to compete again, this time with more members in their crew to enhance the impact of their expressive and moving performances.
Hans
Accordionist Hans has become an even greater international superstar since he first competed on America’s Got Talent season 13. Before the show, he was already well-known in Australia, Europe, and the UK for his larger-than-life cabaret performances.
Angelina Jordan
13-year-old Angelina Jordan is the youngest act performing in the AGT: The Champions 2 premiere. The young singer won Norway’s Got Talent in 2014 when she was only 8.
Jack Vidgen
Singer Jack Vidgen joins the AGT: The Champions 2 contestants with a Got Talent win already under his belt. At only 14 years old, Vidgen won Australia’s Got Talent in 2011.

Dan Naturman
Stand-up comedian Dan Naturman first appeared on season 9 of America’s Got Talent; he was eliminated in the semi-finals.
