'AGT' Season 19: Fans are upset as Jabu and Cornelio's act was marred by audio issues, preventing them from hearing
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Jabu and Cornelio, a singer/tap dancer duo, showcased their talents on the stage of 'America's Got Talent' Season 19 Episode 7. Jabu, a 24-year-old individual hailing from North Carolina, and Cornelio, a 31-year-old resident of Brooklyn, New York, come from different backgrounds but share a common interest and that's music.
Unfortunately, their performance was marred by technical difficulties as the audience struggled to hear the intricacies of their drumming amidst the overpowering music. Disappointed fans took to social media to express their frustration at not being able to fully appreciate the skills of the talented performers.
One social media user said, "If I had to complain it's the fact that there were times I couldn't hear the drum playing thanks to some of the stunts he was pulling while drumming. Personally I rather hear the drum playing then seeing him flip around trying to play and imo failing. But that didn't ruin the act just a minor problem I have."
Another user chimed in, "Ngl but drumming and tap dancing sound very similar."
A user quipped, "Bruh can’t even hear the chops on these dudes cause the stupid music…."
An X user penned, "Couldn't hear the drumming or the tapping!"
