'AGT' Season 17: Fans slam judges as Mr Moo Shakes gets 3 yes votes, say the 'show is becoming a joke'

'Judges have completely lost their understanding of what talent is,' said a viewer

Mr Moo Shakes, a Washington resident, is a cow-themed percussionist who creates music using household items such as buckets. Even though the majority of the judges thought his sound was pretty amazing, viewers online couldn't understand why they would send a person dressed as a cow to the next round but not the other talents.

Several participants on 'America's Got Talent' have been dressed up this season. So it is perfectly reasonable if the talent show wants to end this year's tryout with a percussionist dressed as a cow. Mr Moo Shakes of Seattle took the 'America's Got Talent' stage in a full cow costume, complete with milk bucket drums, for an udderly wonderful performance during this season's final audition round.

Heidi believed he performed something any drummer could do, while Sofia was shocked, and Howie thought it was skilled and humorous. They both said yes, except Heidi. With the option in his hands, Simon said yes since he enjoys foolish things and believes his son would enjoy the performance.

Just like Heidi, fans online thought Mr Moo Shakes' performance was nothing special with many believing judges were wrong to put him through instead of other acts. Calling the show turning into a joke, a fan criticized: "This show is becoming a joke. Judges have completely lost their understanding of what talent is. You can see better acts like this on the streets of Boston. But a guy balancing another on his head while walking was not good enough to pass to the next level. Shame on you. #AGT." Slamming Howie for not letting other talented performers advance, a fan tweeted: "Howie said no to the hand stand head duo but yes to drum bucket playing cow? I think Howie was just jealous of their bodies #AGT #AmericasGotTalent."

Another fan wrote: "I bet the cow guy was actually surprised to get through. Seems like his audition was just a joke for sh!t2 and giggles #AGT." Criticizing the judging panel, a fan wrote: "#AGT judges are on something. They put through an old lady stripper and a drumming cow, but not the amazing gymnast duo." Another viewer wrote: "The judges are all over the place. They put through a drumming cow but not the hand balancers!? #AGT."

Some fans feel the show has really lowered its standard with the latest audition verdicts, as they write: "Drumming cow and old lady stripper? We’re really at the bottom barrel auditions #AGT." A fan quipped: "Hey, you know what? Maybe we'll have a COW next year on #AmericanNinjaWarrior! @mattiseman @Akbar_Gbaja #AGT."

Amidst the hate, some fans appreciated the talent of Mr Moo Shakes: "Guy in cow outfit playing the drums was actually pretty cool! #AGT." Another Twitter user wrote how they were expecting Sethward in the cow costume: "I was secretly hoping that the cow was Sethward #agt lol." Calling it the affect of Covid season, a fan quipped: "a cow drumming. i mean. it is covid season anything can happen. #agt @agt uhhhh."
