The dance squad wowed the judges with a hip-hop routine. During their dance performance, they used large blocks as props and skillfully moved them around the stage to create different stages for the dancers.
Following their act, when judges were asked to give their feedback on the performance, Simon Cowell, well-known for his candid and often harsh critiques, described the act as “unbelievable” and he went on to rave over the act by repeating the word “stunning” three times.

His enthusiastic feedback highlighted the impact of the act and shed light on the performers's growth throughout the competition.
