HAVANA, CUBA: Alejandro Licea Pellon is a Balancing Act on Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent'. Alejandro is from Cuba's capital, Havana.

Alejandro advanced to the semi-finals of the ninth season of 'Got Talent Espana' in 2023.

In auditions, Alejandro put his life in danger. According to this artist, he always lives in balance. Finally, he added, "The chances of failing are very high," adding that he had prepared an event that was more difficult than the auditions.

At one point, Santi Millán himself had to turn away in terror because the number was so challenging: "I swear, I can't watch this." Alejandro appeared to have surpassed himself, but then the tightrope walker set up another cylinder atop his extremely tall structure.

Alejandro has demonstrated by "balancing on cylinders" that this is not just a passion of his, but also a natural skill.

Judge Risto Mejide, who saw a unique potential in the little tightrope walker, was enthralled with the performance as well. Alejandro got four affirmations!

'AGT' Season 19 contestant Alejandro Licea Pellon had rough ending to 'Got Talent Espana' journey

Alejandro believes that there is no risk without reward. The panel of judges was often left holding their breath by the demonstration of risk and balance that this circus performer had promised for his last act on the show before elimination.

Paula Echevarría draws attention to the pain she endured while watching the performance, calling it "worthy of someone who risks a lot," while Risto Mejide notes that the artist's use of glitter on his body is prohibited by the European Union.

It appears that certain judges were especially interested in drawing attention to Alejandro's poor and unsatisfactory ending, believing it to be the show's epilogue.

'AGT' Season 19 contestant Alejandro Licea Pellon moved to the States to join family

Alejandro is a young acrobat from Cuba who competed in the popular show 'Got Talent Spain'. According to what his uncle, criminal reporter Niover Licea, posted on social media, Alejandro landed in the United States in early 2024.

Nine members of his family, including his niece Rachel Rodriguez, who was also a contestant on 'Got Talent Spain', have come to the United States in recent weeks, according to the journalist, who has garnered renown for covering violent events in Cuba.

Only in October of last year was the I-131 procedure changed to I-134A, and Alejandro's brother's children were added to the application. Alejandro is a 25-year-old acrobat who just moved to the United States. He impressed the judges of 'Spanish Got Talent' last year with a challenging routine that involved balancing on cylinders.
