(Photo: NBC)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nThe second week of America’s Got Talent: All-Stars <\/em>took place Monday, and among this week’s 10 contenders were many familiar faces and fan favorites \u2014 including one actual winner, Season 16 magician Dustin Tavella, and the contestant that many viewers thought should <\/em>have been that season’s winner, runner-up aerialist Aidan Bryant.<\/p>\nBut more on that rivalry later. Bryant definitely had some unfinished business this week, but so did bootylicious rapper Tone the Chiefrocca, a proud almost-hit wonder who never got the chance to perform for a certain AGT<\/em> judge when he first competed a decade ago.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen we found out that Simon was going to be here \u2014 the man who knows<\/em> music \u2014 we knew we had to be here, because ‘B-Double-OT-Y’ is the jammmmm<\/em>,\u201d Tone explained Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n

(Photos: NBC)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nBack when Inglewood’s Tone the Chiefrocca, flanked by his little brother\/hypeman DJ ColyCole, tried out for AGT<\/em> in Season 8, he unapologetically declared, \u201cMy dream is to be a one-hit wonder.\u201d And while he only made it to that season’s semifinals, he did so by performing \u201cB-Double-OTY\u201d three <\/em>times \u2014 which was kind of impressive, if you really think about it \u2014 and he sort of got his wish. \u201cB-Double-OTY\u201d actually made it to No. 1. Mind you, it was No. 1 for two days\u2026 on iTunes’ Children’s Music <\/em>chart, due to a technical error. (\u201cMy cousin uploaded it wrong,\u201d Chiefrocca shrugged.) But hey, that still counts. It’s more than most artists ever get.<\/p>\nAnyway, at the time, current All Stars<\/em> Judges Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum were on the panel, but Cowell was not. That was a Howard Stern season, and Stern voted against Chiefrocca in the quarterfinals. Judge Mel B saved Tone and put him through as a wild card to the Semifinals, but at that point, a fed-up Stern buzzed him with his red X, and he eventually went home. So, this was the perfect opportunity for Tone to try, try again \u2014 with the same song.<\/p>\n
