PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Massimo claimed he was operating a drone with his brain waves, but despite his efforts, none of the judges on 'America's Got Talent' Season 19 were impressed. They unanimously voted no, so he will not be advancing in the competition.

Massimo claims to be a scientist who can interact with objects using his brain waves during his 'AGT' Season 19 audition. He sends a drone soaring around the stage, seemingly controlling it with his hand.

Who is to say it isn't a trick? The audience booed him, and judges Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum both buzzed him. Simon Cowell admitted, "That was a little bit small," comparing his performance to a toy demo.

'AGT' Season 19 fans call Emotional Brainwaves' act 'fake'

Just like the judges, fans couldn't get on board with the act. Many viewers took to social media to criticize the performance. On X, one user wrote, "The mind-controlled drone act needs some more pizazz." Another person chimed in, "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! What is going ON?! That drone act made me want to [DATA EXPUNGED]!"



 



 

One user noted, "Cool invention. Not a talent." One user also asked, "Telepathic act? Who "thought" this was a good idea to put on the stage?"



 



 

Others wondered, "How do you know he’s doing that with his brain ? He has a watch on and probably a phone on him." "That was really bad," added another.
