PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: ‘AGT- All Stars’ has tried bringing the most creativity on its plate till now, but it seems like just performing is not enough for the audience or even the infamous Simon Cowell. The same thing happened in a recent episode of the show when The Cello Brothers Emil, 25, and Daniel, 22, stood on the stage of ‘AGT’. Simon told them that their performance was good but did not reach the bar, and there was a reason for it.

The judge then told them that it was because The Cello Brothers were boring on the 'Got Talent' stage, much to the shock of the audience. Simon added, “I’ll tell you why,” after asking the pair, “What makes you interesting?” To this, Daniel replied, “We just love performing for people. To be able to share our music, going on stage for the world.” After which, even Heidi shook her head and said, “Try again.” Daniel took another chance and said, “We are studying to become dentists.” Simon Cowell shook his head at that and said, “Don’t say it, there must be some dream.” And Daniel, to the shock of the audience and judges, replied, “Yeah, there is, to become dentists and change the world.” The viewers had a lot to say about that.
