Among all the judges on ABC's hit talent hunt show 'America's Got Talent', Simon Cowell has the reputation of being the toughest judge to impress. This British television personality and record executive doesn't mince any words when it comes to criticizing performances on the show, he is also pretty generous with compliments when he is impressed. 

After watching some thousands of performances on 'AGT' Season 16, ten incredibly talented performers got a step closer to their dream of winning a whopping $1 million prize money and a show at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which awaits for the winner of the competition. Since day one, Simon has been rooting for sixteen-year-old aerialist Aidan Bryant. From showering praises upon Aidan to even giving the young performer his golden buzzer, Simon didn't hide the fact that he was in total awe of the teen from Prince George County, Virginia. For his final performance, Aidan gave his best performance to date, which earned him a standing ovation from Simon. It wasn't any ordinary standing ovation, Simon bravely stood upon the judge's table and began clapping earnestly as Aidan ended his gravity-defying final performance on the show.

Who is Aidan Bryant?

Aidan is a 16-year-old aerialist from Prince George County. Aidan stumbled upon aerial acrobatics accidentally. Things at school haven't been easy for this teen as he felt like he didn't fit in with any of his peers. So, one day while he was browsing the internet he chanced upon singer Pink's live performance at a concert. Her aerial acrobatics routine instantly captured his attention. He wanted to try it out himself. 

So he searched through his grandmother's closet and picked out some old bedsheets and proceeded to try out aerial acrobatics by himself. He explained, "I went into my grandma’s closet, found a sheet, put two straps on it, got a ladder and hung up it in a tree in the garden." Aidan admitted that he was afraid but he also was curious to try it out, and as soon as he jumped down the tree he felt a jolt of excitement and happiness like he had never felt before. Since then there has been no looking back for him. As a self-taught aerialist, Aidan practiced his craft really hard and perfected it. This eventually led him to 'AGT'.
