America's Got Talent returned for an all-new episode on Tuesday night, and the hunt for the final two acts continued. This week, the remaining 11 contestants took to the stage to perform for a chance to win America's vote. One among them was Mervant Vera, a magician who can rap.
Mervant was the second act to perform during the Qualifiers in America's Got Talent. His performance impressed the judges and fans on social media as well. Mervant set out to prove that he is more than a rapper. Wanting to prove that he was an entertainer, he took a chance with a risky performance, which certainly paid off.
Today, the America's Got Talent contestant made Heidi choose a random song from his rhyme book, and he made Terry Crews shuffle cards with a bunch of random words. After performing these tricks, Mervant put up a fantastic performance that earned him a standing ovation from all the judges.
Mervant's inspiring performance stuns judges in America's Got Talent
Mervant used the words from the shuffled cards to create a freestyle rap. The America's Got Talent star cut the stack of cards again, only to pair the words together magically. He ended his performance by asking the audience and judges to check under their seats. Underneath it, they found the song title, Inspire, that Heidi Klum chose randomly.
After his performance, Heidi appreciated the new approach to magic that Mervant brought to the famed reality TV series. Judge Simon Cowell added that he liked the America's Got Talent star's performance more than his audition. Simon added that Mervant's nervousness worked in his favor. To add to the praise, Howie Mandel claimed it was inspirational and authentic.
Although the judges were impressed, the decision on who would advance to the finale was ultimately left up to the greater audience. Fans had the right to vote from the comfort of their homes for the acts they thought deserved to be in the finale.
