PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The Hakuna Matata Acrobats are a Tanzanian acrobatic troupe that auditioned for 'America's Got Talent' Season 19 week two. Even though the judges gave the crew a lot of praise, observant viewers couldn't ignore the mistakes.

They're doing the performance for the first time in front of a real crowd. One acrobat stood on a board, balanced on a round item, and hoisted the other three performers into the air!



 

Each maneuver was riskier than the previous one, and the judges were on the tip of their seats the entire time.

Fans couldn't believe the performance, as they took to X to write, "Hakuna Matata Acrobatics was crazy." Another user felt, "after watching Ramadani Brothers the bar for acrobatic acts are at a super high level lol."



 



 

One user wondered, "Didn’t they stumble multiple times and all thse acrobatics are starting to look alike." A fourth viewer claimed, "Not impressed, I would not pay to watch them."



 



 

One fan also wrote, "They aren't on the Ramadhani Brother's level, but a very high level acrobat balancing act for sure. They need to be crisper next time." Another person added, "Goddamn. Even with the mess ups they still pulled it out at the end."

"That was heart-stopping, that was dangerous," Sofía Vergara added.

"I've seen an act similar to this - but this was a step-up," Simon Cowell commented.

All four judges agreed that the Hakuna Matata Acrobats should continue on.
