Note: This article contains spoilers for an episode of America's Got Talent which has aired in the US, but hasn't yet been released in the UK.
Japanese comedy duo Yumbo Dump have been met with some controversy on America's Got Talent. The twosome make noise using their bodies to sound like animals such as whales, fish, and owls.
The act definitely isn't for everyone, and although fans cheer during the America's Got Talent episodes, some viewers vocally dislike them on social media. It turns out Heidi Klum agrees.
That love-them-or-hate-them response continued on Tuesday night's (August 21) quarter-finals episode. During Yumbo Dump's performance, the duo got several X votes: first from Mel B, then from Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell.
But after the routine ended, and the two played dolphins in a love story, Simon and Mel B rescinded their X votes and fellow judge Howie Mandel gave a standing ovation. But Heidi kept her vote the way it was, even when the crowd chanted for her to take her vote back.
"I'm not taking it back," she addressed the jeering crowd. "Stop it! No!"

"Take it back!" Simon demanded.
"You don't care about our Earth, you don't care about the planet," Howie called out.
"The dolphins! The dolphins!" Mel B exclaimed.
Heidi didn't waver. "I was actually really excited to see you guys again today, because I really like you guys, and you really make me laugh in the past," she told the duo.
"But this is the live show, and I feel like you didn't step it up."
But it's not up to the judges this time, since it's now up to the audience to cast their vote to advance them to the semi-finals.
Love them? Hate them? Watch a clip from Yumbo Dump's performance and decide for yourself.
America's Got Talent airs on NBC in the US and Netflix in the UK.
