Alan’s AGT season 15 journey
Upcoming America's Got Talent: All-Stars contestant appeared in episode five of season 15. His aerial stunts were performed to Sia’s Alive, which earned him the vote of confidence from Howie Mandel, Eric Stonestreet, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell, which sent him into the next round.
Because of the judges cut, Alan advanced to the quarterfinals without performing in episode eight, where he performed a series of stunts in the air to Lady Gaga’s Stupid Love. He successfully completed a dangerous stunt that had the risk of the aerialist landing face-first into a bed of nails.
During the performance, Sofia Vergara covered her face and said:
"I can’t see."
The difficult routine earned him a standing ovation from Howie Mandel and enough votes that sent him into the semifinals.
For his next performance, America's Got Talent: All-Stars contestant switched the cloth that is used for the stunts with a set of chains. He performed to You’re No Good by Linda Ronstadt while spinning by his neck with the chains on fire. He advanced to the finals as he received more online votes than Archie Williams and Malik DOPE as part of the Dunkin’ Save.
Alan made it rain during the finals as he performed with a set of straps while water poured from above to Live Like Legends by Ruelle. The finale saw Alan perform with Bello Sisters and Deadly Games while Bishop Briggs performed River and Higher. He reached the Top 5 and placed fifth in AGT behind Brandon Leake, Broken Roots, Cristina Rae, and Roberta Battaglia.
