The A-list stars will mentor their 10 competitors in hopes they will take home the grand prize of $250,000 - and be the first judge to win Fantasy League.
On Monday's episode, fans got just a taste of what they can expect to see throughout the season - including Hans, a quarter-finalist from AGT Season 13 whom Heidi chose to be a part of her Dream Team.
In the past, Simon hasn't loved Hans' acts and fans were eager to see what he would think of the competitor's performance.
The German native began his performance by singing The Bitch Is Back by Elton John on a piano that Heidi said belonged to famous musician Liberace.

Hans then yelled: "I know you love it, Simon. From one bitch to another."
After the other judges gave their thoughts, Simon was asked what he thought.
