In this season of 'America's Got Talent' there have been several contestants in costume. So it makes perfect sense if the talent show wants to wrap up this year's audition, with a drummer in a cow costume.

'America's Got Talent,' with 16 spectacular seasons, is an NBC classic. After magician Dustin Tavella was voted Season 16 Winner in September, fans are excited to see who will take home the next $1 million prize. Singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other performers of all ages compete for the ultimate prize and the opportunity to headline a show in Las Vegas on 'AGT.' In addition to Terry Crews as a host, the judges, which include Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, and Howie Mandel, will feature in the Season 17 final audition.

Who is Mr Moo Shakes?

Seattle artist Mr Moo Shakes will hit 'America's Got Talent' stage in a full cow costume, with milk buckets for drums, for an udderly fantastic performance on this season's final audition round. He had always wanted to be a drummer since he was a child. He aspired to be the gifted "cool" cow. His parents wanted him to continue working on the dairy farm, but they refused to let him buy a proper drum kit. That's how he began playing on his milk buckets, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Being on 'AGT' is undoubtedly a great dream come true for Mr Moo Shakes. He can mark it off his bucket list. Another ambition of his is to become the first cow on the Las Vegas strip. Everyone believes that a cow's dream is to jump over the moon, but he desires to become a star. He told 425magazine about his 'AGT' audition experience. "It was a blast." He grazed on down there, and just being able to play and be in L.A. was a lot of joy. He added, "It was awesome. The judges were so nice. Right before going on stage, I was a bit nervous with cow jitters and Terry Crews was like, 'Hey man, you got this!'"



 

'AGT' live events will begin broadcasting on August 9, with episodes showing every Tuesday night and the results episodes airing every Wednesday night. Each Live Show is followed by a Results show in which America's vote chooses the top Acts of the week. After that, fans vote online for a single Act to receive the 'AGT' Save from the bottom three. The destiny of the remaining two Acts is decided by the Judges' Choice, who vote for one artist to save and qualify to continue in the competition. The rest of the top Acts each perform once more during the Finale. America's vote chooses who wins the $1 million grand prize and a concert in Las Vegas the next night at the Finale Results.
