PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Like the "Owl Man" episode from the previous week, "Moo-lina" ascended the stage and said the word "moo" whenever possible. Viewers of Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent' finally had enough, and took to social media to vent their frustration over "sh**ty acts."

When it was Kalina Moolina's turn to sing, she started to shake her enormous artificial cow booty to 'My Humps' and the four judges were pretty much instantly off the board.

On Reddit, annoyed viewers asked, "are they just gonna start every episode with a shi*ty act now 😭Others guessed, "They maybe trying to just show that not every act gets through now since seemed like 99% of the aired acts got through so maybe they are just editing with a little bit more discretion of adding the bad acts so people can see what actually gets rejected."

Frustrated fans took to X to write, "THE COW COSTUME WTF." Others urged, "Okay, remove the dancing cow out of here."



 



 

Simon Cowell softens towards non-advancing 'AGT' Season 19 acts

Simon Cowell was the sole judge to vote yes to the Dancing Cow and a woman who yelled "fluff up the goodness" during her audition. Simon was also the only judge who gave Ry the Healer good feedback.

Howie Mandel, who is normally a tougher judge, questioned what was going on.
