PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: An 8-year-old dancer who dazzled the judges with his dynamic skills was included in an early-release audition from this July 2 episode of Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent'. Simon Cowell was genuinely taken aback by the panel's reaction to Boss Baby Brody.

Boss Baby Brody danced to Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' during his audition, which made sense given his nonstop dancing routine. Brody performed some amazing acrobatics during the show, including a backflip over the stage.



 

His stage appearance matched his dancing prowess, as his lively facial gestures conveyed an energetic attitude. In many instances, he appeared taken aback by his own abilities.

Not a surprise, Brody received a standing ovation from the whole panel.

Simon said he was "trying to catch up" with Brody's dancing movements during his audition, likening it to fast-forwarding through a film. Given that Freddie Mercury, the main vocalist of Queen, was "one of the best showmen on the planet," he applauded Brody's selection of music.

Simon said to Brody, "You've got that amazing showmanship and confidence."

Howie Mandel concurred with Simon, praising Brody's stage presence and his reactions. When he inquired whether Brody was anxious, he said flatly, "No."
