Atai Show on 'AGT' Season 18
As the group came on 'AGT' Season 18's stage, they didn't say a word. Wearing weird masks, some of the dancers' eyes were covered while they performed. Moreover, the group was wearing a zombie kind of attire, filled with blood-like brown stains. Their routine petrified the judges as the group moved their bodies, contorting their joints into a bizarre position. Each part of their body moved in an unnatural way, making it feel as if they have no bones. Howie Mandel simply dubbed the performance "scary."
Toward the end of the routine, the song changed to a light-hearted tone, playing 'Everybody' from Backstreet Boys. However, the viewers' screams continued to grow louder as Atai Show cracked their legs and hands in unison. The ending left everyone stunned and made the audience as well as all the judges give a standing ovation to the performance.
