Earlier this week on “America’s Got Talent” 2017, judge Simon Cowell declared that 11-year-old dancer Merrick Hanna has “been overlooked so far.” Hanna’s way of telling stories through his robot-popping dance is so unique that it helps his stand out from the crowd. Do you agree with Cowell that Hanna has been overshadowed in Season 12 by some of the other contestants, particularly the young female singers like Darci Lynne Farmer, Angelica Hale and Celine Tam? Let us know by voting down in our poll below.

Hanna will be back to perform live on NBC’s reality TV show as soon as the current Quarterfinals wrap up next Tuesday and Wednesday, August 29 and 30. Following that, the Semifinals will begin September 5 on NBC, where the Top 22 acts (including Hanna) will perform again for America’s votes, divided over two weeks.

Just four years ago, a solo dancer with a similar unique style won the competition: Japanese entertainer Kenichi Ebina. (See the complete list of “AGT” winners in our photo gallery below.) Ebina won Season 8 of “Americas Got Talent” on September 18, 2013 against runner-up Taylor Williamson, a stand-up comedian. Out of the 11 “AGT” winners so far, Ebina is the only dancer to prevail. Might Hanna join him in the winner’s circle?

While Merrick Hanna won’t be seen next week, here are the dozen acts that WILL perform for America’s votes on Tuesday’s Quarterfinals 3 episode:

Angelina Green – Singer

Chase Goehring – Singer-Songwriter/Guitarist
