America’s Got Talent staged a surprise American Idol reunion during the Season 14 finale. The big shock for fans, and show judge Simon Cowell came during a mashup performance featuring contestants Light Balance Kids and Tyler Butler-Figueroa, along with Season 13 finalist Brian Joseph King.
Near the end of the performance, the Light Balance Kids made room to shine a spotlight on one masked dancer, who showed off their moves before revealing her famous identity.

The act dazzled fans and live audience alike, but left everyone in awe after the lights turned on to reveal Paula Abdul at the center dancing alongside the group of young dancers.
“How did you get up there?” Cowell said after Terry Crews introduced Abdul, “that was, by the way, brilliant.”
Fans of the series were stunned to see Abdul onstage and celebrated the surprise American Idol reunion.
