I think the Boys were fantastic last night! They have so outgrown the AGT/BGT shows! As their 5 Top 20 albums and sold out concerts around the world prove! To your Collaborators you will always be OUR Champions! Keep singing Boys and I'll see you in October!

I love the Collabro when they do covers of musical or theatrical songs. It was a well staged performance but not showing off much of what they truly are.

[@SaintlyCitySue]

AGT chose the song and the arrangement. You're only seeing half their performance, as the entire middle of the song was cut from the broadcast.

Richard's controlled emotion lifts the group's performance. He's much missed

[@Charlotte-nk8mh]

Understandably, the other four were jealous of Richard's incredible talent. He could not help but be singled out by everyone. His gift was, and is, that substantial. The fact is that Richard needs Collabro and Collabro needs Richard. They have all suffered from the splintering of the group. Sometimes, you have it right the first time.

These boys are amazing, it's such a shame that people were underwhelmed by their performance! I'd have loved to see their Motown mashup or their Jersey Boys performance, as that is so different to what the Got Talent franchise know of our boys! Having seen the boys live and met them, I can honestly say they are amazing performers and even better guys - you've opened a door by going on the show, don't close it just because this wasn't perfect!

[@heatherjamieson4295]

@@MusicalTheatre1011 - I was extremely fortunate to see Collabro perform numerous times, both on the cruise to Amsterdam in 2018 and the cruise to Ireland in 2019. I’ve also flown over to England for their 2017 Home tour and a year later for their Road to the Albert Hall tour. On this continent I’ve driven 1000 miles round trip to see them perform in Canada, and flew to Detroit to see them during their last U.S. tour. Surprisingly, I am hardly unique. Musical theater lovers drive and fly thousands of miles to experience a live Collabro show, most of which are sold out far in advance. The group has long outgrown the label of “boy band” and are now consummate professionals and seasoned performers.

[@pauld5328]

Whimpy hit it on the head. When I saw reunite I was execting Richard back. The strength that is missing and made them unique.

[@fierywolf1981]

This was absolutely spectacular, I've been a fan of them for the last couple of years. I can only hope that someday they will do a tour of the US, and I would gladly travel to see them perform live. As for Simon, come on dude, no one is going to compare to your super group IL Divo, just get over yourself man!

[@Woerdoxer]

I saw her for the first time now. Unspectacular and average voices.

[@sharondelaney9153]

Had to come back. What was with Simon? He only said he remembered them from their first audition on BGT, and said they had to “up their game”, for this show. They were on BGT Champions, sang, “Who Wants to Live Forever”, brilliantly, with even Simon liking it. How come he is so snarly here. Why couldn’t they sing whatever they did before? This is a new audience. They are outstanding performers, whom, I believe, were put in a losing position by the producers. You can tell by what Simon says to them, they were told what they could and could not sing. I honestly hate “Shallow”; it’s been done to the point of boring. Chin up, Guys! Keep going. I am an American who extols your talent with whomever will listen.

[@paulineconsidine7811]

I love Collabro! They are fantastic young men! They were amazing!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LightGE]

I really loved Collabro's original style. Theater kids with a fresh take on musicals. My opinion about their career coarse since they won BGT is that they have veered way of coarse from what they were passionate about. The operatic harmonies of pop music is cute; but, never appealed to me. Their original style was that they were five (at the time) regular, hungry, stage/musical lovers. It was unique and relatable, yet surprising and fresh. The idea, for me, about these suave, old school, gentlemen suits stole the youthful exuberance that most people fell for in the beginning. And that branding is definitely not going to work in the US. This AGT Champions performance gives the impression that they are all bored and their brand seems inauthentic. I love them, so much. I still watch their BGT performances every now again. But, some rebranding might be in order after this utter fail on AGT. They need to start from their personal beginnings. Theater kids with a fresh take on musicals. JMHO

[@wandermom9413]

Majority of their songs are from musicals still. Check on their latest concert in the UK. It is only in their latest album where they had some pop music but still arranged in a classical way as that is the bidding of their new record deal with BMG.

[@LightGE]

Okay thanks, @@wandermom9413 . I'll check it out. :)

[@SaintlyCitySue]

Also check out their "Home" album which they produced independently. The goal was to get back to their musical theater roots without the overwhelming background accompaniment and occasional pop song Syco insisted on.

They were as always professional and brilliant,yet once again they have been put in the position of not controlling what they sing,not surprised at the outcome following B.G.T when they were sidelined after bringing the audience to their feet in united love and appreciation of their talents.But hey,they are so successful, why does the outcome of a "Talent show" matter to four amazing professional guys

[@heatherjamieson4295]

Collabro didn't go into this expecting to win, but I'm sure they expected fair treatment. AGT offered a showcase for the boys to break into the American market which is why we're fuming.

Agreed. Their first performances were amazing but this time there were too many similar voices.
