‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 17 Finale: Lebanese Dance Troupe The Mayyas is the New Champion

During the two-hour finale show of America’s Got Talent, all eleven finalists performed for the last time. The Mayyas were named the competition series champion of season 17.

The grand prize was taken home by the Lebanese female dance troupe of about $1 million that headlined a show at Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The Mayyas caught their first attention during their show-stopping audition and were promoted to press Golden Buzzer.

Achievements of the troupe

The group delivered a hypnotizing dance routine that fellow judges and executive producer Simon Cowell predicted would ‘Change the World’. Howie Mandel added, ‘I think that by far, me personally, it is probably the most impressive, wonderful act I have seen in my years on this show. 

On Wednesday, the group delivered another top-notch performance for the finale. Cherfan said they could not feel more ‘proud of themselves for all they had accomplished. He said, ‘Every moment of this experience was memorable, from the Golden Buzzer to the semifinals to now the finals.’
