Will Aidan Bryant win 'AGT: Fantasy League'? Judge Howie Mandel describes aerialist's act as 'smooth'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' Season 1 studio erupted with applause and cheers when Aidan Bryant graced the stage for his performance. Aidan transformed the NBC show stage into a representation of his grandmother's backyard, the place where he had perfected his aerial skills.
Aidan performed his latest routine to the well-loved track 'California Dreamin.' The conclusion of his performance garnered a standing ovation from the 'AGT' judges, including Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Mel B. Notably, Howie Mandel expressed confidence in Aidan's potential to win the NBC show, praising his act as "smooth."
He noted, "You know the real testament is this is a show where only one act could walk out with $250 and your performance I think moved you closer to $250."
However, during her mentoring session with Aidan, Heidi shared, "I keep thinking of the story you told us about learning this in your backyard on a tree." She suggested, "If you could resemble this somehow on the stage again and kind of bring this story back."
However, Aidan skillfully portrayed his life's narrative in his performance, leaving his mentor, Heidi, thoroughly impressed. She marveled as Aidan gracefully moved through the air, the stage transforming into a scene with an expansive tree and falling leaves.
Did Aidan Bryant receive Simon Cowell's golden buzzer?
'AGT: Fantasy League' Week 4's golden buzzer power was provided to Simon Cowell to steal his co-judge's best performance. Simon's eyes were on Heidi Klum's dream team's first contestant, Aidan Bryant. However, the contestant didn't seem ready to leave Heidi's team.
Aidan reflected to the cameras, "When I found out I was on Heidi's dream team, I was so excited." He shared, "I would take any advice from her."
However, after calling Aidan's performance "pretty special," Simon asked the aerialist if he wanted to be on Simon's dream team.
Aidan declined the offer, stating, "I wanna stick with Heidi." Simon also praised the contestant's performance, expressing, "Aiden, honestly, you are a natural-born performer."
However, Simon was not the only one who was impressed with Aidan's performance. Mel B praised Aidan and said, "You know you see these acts of two or few tricks I think ohh yeah great but you are just endless, smooth and seamless..." adding, "It is perfection."
