Simon Cowell loved Attractive Juniors' 'AGT' Season 19 audition act story
Howie Mandel praised the presentation of their combined art as "beautiful, entertaining, and original." Heidi Klum stated that Martin Jr made his father proud with the routine. She praised the amount of work they've put into what they do.
Sofía Vergara stated that she was astounded by them. "It was a really cute story, and I think people are going to relate to it," Simon Cowell remarked.
Attractive Juniors Swiftly moved on to the next round of 'AGT' Season 19
The appeal of 'AGT' lies in showcasing individuals with abilities that might not typically entertain on a large scale. In contrast, the shadow theatrical troupe Attraction Juniors demonstrates that creative problem-solving can lead to striking visual effects.
The family entertained the audience by using their shadows to create gigantic sculptures of crying faces and animals, all while singing Taylor's 'The Lucky One.' Each judge voted 'yes' to see their act compete again in the following round.
Who are the Attractive Juniors in 'AGT' Season 19?
Attraction Juniors are the junior section of 'Britain's Got Talent' Series 7 winners and 'America's Got Talent: The Champions' contenders, Attraction. The group, like their senior counterpart, performs Hungarian shadow theater.
Martin Szűcs, son of founding Attraction leader Zoltán Szűcs, leads the junior branch of the group, a division established by Zoltán himself. The junior incarnation of the group is best known for auditioning in the 15th season of 'BGT' and was eliminated during the deliberations.
Martin Jr was inspired to form the group when his father, Martin Sr, won 'BGT' with his shadow theater group. Simon recognized Martin Jr right away and put the pieces together before introducing himself.
