Will The Pack Drumline win 'AGT: Fantasy League'? Judge Simon Cowell says group will surprise everyone and emerge as winners
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' contestant The Pack Drumline is setting the stage of the NBC show on fire.
The dynamic group, who performed 'We Will Rock You' by Queen and 'Be Humble' by Kendrick Lamar, has impressively entertained the viewers with their fiery performance.
After their electrifying performance, The Pack Drumline received a standing ovation from judges Howie Mandel, Mel B, Simon Cowell, and Heidi Klum.
Howie gushed over the group's performance and said, "That's a Super Bowl moment right there. That is better than anything you have done before on the AGT stage and you are tonight in my mind the one to beat."
Mel B echoed similar sentiments and added, "I'm actually really annoyed at myself because you are on Simon's dream team and you just killed it. "
Simon Cowell had nothing but good things to say about The Pack Drumline. He said, "There are occasions with an artist where you look into their eyes and you see steal that to me is the sign of a fighter and a star."
He continued, "There are other artists who are favorites to win but I have a feeling you are going to surprise everyone and win this whole show. It's been an absolute honor and I cannot feel happy, I feel proud."
Who is the founder of The Pack Drumline?
The Pack Drumline is a highly acclaimed entertainment crew in Chicago known for their impressive drumming and dancing skills. It was created by Perry Donta'e, who was asked by a nonprofit organization to develop an after-school program for troubled youth.
Perry enthusiastically accepted the challenge and created 'Street Beat', a program specifically designed for marginalized kids.
During an interview with The Tribe, Donta'e said, "The program I came up with was called Street Beat, and I was finding kids who weren’t into sports, the kids who were outcasts, the kids who were introverts, and started teaching them the basics of drumming."
The Pack Drumline founder went on to say, "As the years went past, we just got better and better until we were able to turn this into a company."
Did The Pack Drumline win 'AGT' Season 17?
Back in the day, the Chicago-based group participated in 'America's Got Talent' Season 17.
At that point, the Pack Drumline got eliminated from the show during Qualifier 2.
The Mayyas, a Lebanese all-female alternative precision dance group ended up winning the seventeenth season of the popular series.
