 'AGT' Season 18 semi-finalist Shadow Ace's 'inappropriate' act receives backlash 

Shadow Ace earned viewers' votes and judges' buzzers to advance through the multiple rounds and reach the semi-finals. However, one of his performances was dubbed 'inappropriate' for children and received internet wrath.

The 'AGT' performer created a woman with his hands, seemingly showing her preparing for something. The woman was preparing to put on a strip show during the first half of Shadow Ace's act.

He then delivered what appeared to be a snippet of Miley Cryus' 'Wrecking Ball' music video, and created various animals and effects with his hands. The performance featured acts of other well-known singers as well.

While Shadow Ace's performance captivated both the live audience and the judges, multiple viewers opted to slam the performer.
