A recap of The Brown Brothers' audition on AGT
Ahead of their performance, the AGT contestants revealed that they were Navy veterans. The brothers also confessed that they were both autistic and that the condition made socializing difficult for them. However, they also explained their motivation behind auditioning for the reality competition was their desire to inspire people like them.
Gabriel Brown gave all four judges one set of cards that had characters they could impersonate and another set that had a list of songs. The judges chose the following combinations:
Sofia: Tiny Dancer - Kermit the Frog
Heidi: Photograph - Donald Duck
Howie: Drops of Jupiter - Spongebob Squarepants
Simon: Someone You Loved - Simon Cowell
Terry: You Will Be Found - Ben Splatt
While Nate was on an instrument, Gabriel sang the chosen songs in the voices of the characters. This instantly impressed the judges, who were bewildered by the performance. The duo even received a standing ovation from all the judges.
In an interview with Green Valley News, the AGT contestants previously opened up about performing in the competition. Nate said:
“I feel like in a weird way the AGT stage was a space like that where even though people in the audience don't know who you are they are ready to get to know you and accept you immediately for exactly what you present. If you are up there and be yourself, you are going to get support for being yourself.”
A total of 54 acts were chosen to perform live on AGT at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The qualifiers round will last for five weeks in total, after which 10 acts and one wildcard contestant will move to the final round.
Judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel will be back on the judging panel this week along with the rest of the country, voting for the two best acts of the night. Readers can keep watching America's Got Talent on NBC.
