‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 18: Fans say judges ‘don’t know talent’ as M gets the boot after unconventional act
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' once again surprised its fans with an unforgettable performance in the fifth audition round. M, a pianist and dancer duo, captivated everyone with their unique act. Adding to the intrigue, they appeared on stage wearing creepy Michael Myers masks, heightening the eerie atmosphere of their performance.
Since an act must receive a minimum of three "yes" votes from the four judges, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell this act could not move to the next round. Despite Sofia's enthusiasm for the act, the remaining judges voted "No," and fans immediately took to social media to slam the judges for rejecting the act.
Sophia Vergara says 'yes' to M's unexpected act
A mysterious performer wearing a Michael Myers mask made an eerie appearance on the stage. When Simon asks who they were and why they were there, the performer remained silent and showed a piano instead. The person started playing while another figure wearing the same mask appeared behind the judges' panel. One of the masked figures played 'A Thousand Miles' on the piano while the other danced.
It did not take long for Heidi to press the X button, saying, "It wasn't enough for me!" Howie also expressed his disappointment, saying, "I was waiting for something, and I don't think I got something." Simon presses the X button as well so the act did not make it through to the next round as only Sofia voted for them to go ahead.
'If you have a sad story, you get a golden buzzer'
Fans expressed their disappointment by commenting on the YouTube video where when the judges rejected M from the next round of 'AGT' despite their unique act managing to captivate the audience. One fan mentioned, "I recognize that song they play in the beginning of the audition. (Toccata and Fugue in D minor) by J.S. Bach. Love that piece, and love the audition!" Another fan commented, "Ppl are not use to Michael being sociable. That’s new for them that’s why the judges didn’t let them through." Some fans criticized the judges, saying, "I guess the judges don’t know talent that’s why the wrong talent wins." Another fan asked, "What’s up with the judges? I thought this was pretty funny and creative in my opinion." A fan also quipped, "They were so cool and yet they said no cause it didn't live up to their expectations. But then you have a sad story then you get a golden buzzer." One user expressed, "Way better than many other useless acts that have gone through... it even caused me to pause and watch..."
