LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' Season 1 contestants, the Vardanyan Brothers, gave their all on the NBC stage.  At one point in their performance, Gevorg and Andranik Vardanyan from Armenia struggled to complete a dangerous sword stunt. Undeterred, they persisted, attempting the stunt again and successfully finishing their act.

Throughout their sword act, judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Mel B were on edge. Commenting on the Vardanyan Brothers' performance, Mel B said, “This was so nerve-wracking. I feel physically sick. But you did it!” On the other hand, Howie added, “Sometimes when it doesn’t go perfectly, then we see how tough it is. And you didn’t give up, you tried again.”

Mel interrupted to say, “I wish I had my Golden Buzzer right now.” Simon told the Vardanyan brothers, “I think you are completely and utterly nuts. And that’s a compliment. But hats off to you because you carried on.” It seems the duo fell just a little short of making it to the 'AGT: Fantasy League' finale due to the missing coordination in their act.
