PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: CPA Girona is an artistic roller skating ensemble from Spain. But their 'America's Got Talent' journey ended as quickly as it began, and Howie Mandel was chastised for his remarks about the group.

The previous world champion CPA Girona took the stage next, performing a group roller skating routine to Olivia Rodrigo's 'Vampire'. Howie was displeased with the group and received boos from the audience when he stated that they do not "reach the level" of other groups like them that he has seen online.
