If you've been keeping up with Season 17 of 'AGT', then you know that there has been no shortage of phenomenal acts this cycle. From magic to music, to comedy and acrobats, nothing is off limits. And while the range of talent has been wide, there is one thing in common -- everyone has their eye on the residency at Las Vegas.

So far, the show has seen plenty of dance acts, such as MPLUSPLUS and The Mayyas, both of whom wowed the judges. But these acts certainly had more elements to them and moreover, were group acts, solo dance acts have been few and far between this season, but that's about to change. As Bayley Graham took to the stage, he explained that he was a 22-year-old tap dancer from Christchurch, New Zealand. While he stated he wanted to tap dance for a living, he added that his dream was to have his own show in Vegas.

Being from New Zealand, there wasn't much opportunity, but he believed that 'AGT' was where his dreams could start. Graham seemed to enthral the audience and judges with his tap dancing performance, leading Howie Mandel to note that he is more than just a dancer, but also an entertainer. Heidi Klum also agreed that he had an amazing personality. Sofia Vergara assured him that he'd reach where he wanted to be in his career soon enough. Simon Cowell told him that he undersold himself -- leading all four judges to give him yeses, allowing him to advance forward. While fans loved Graham, they weren't too sure if he was made of the 'AGT' stage and noted that his talent was maybe meant for other shows. "It seems like this guy is a good dancer but I didn’t like this performance…I’d like to see more flashy stuff. #AGT #AmericasGotTalent" tweeted a fan. "Maybe SYTYCD will let him audition if the show makes it back for another season #AGT" said a fan. "Bayley Graham is an entertainer. Total package. I hope someone does hire him. Broadway??? #AGT" suggested another. "#AGT That is a talent to do this but not the million-dollar act. He can make money as a dancer" agreed a fan.
