What went down on episode 3 of America's Got Talent season 19 episode 3?
The opening act of the third audition episode was that of Andrei Burton. He was a cyclist and performed outside the stage because he needed more space, before coming on to the dias.
Heidi called it "exciting", while Simon loved how he merged the outdoor and the indoor. All the judges gave him the green light to further his journey on America's Got Talent season 19.
Second up was Bboy Samuka who was a dancer with an amputated leg. Further in his performance, Bboy kicked open his leg brace and performed a flip with one leg, which was an incredible moment.
All four judges gave him a standing ovation. Heidi said his performance kept getting better every step of the way, Sofia reiterated her sentiments and said he was one of the best acts she had seen. With that, all four judges said yes.
Then came the sibling's band called The Reklaws. They dedicated their singing performance to their mom, who lost her life to mental health issues in 2012. Howie called their singing and writing "impeccable", while Sofia said their song was a "big treat". The Reklaws also got yeses from all four judges.
Another act to get yeses was that of Roni Sagi & Rhythm. It was a dog act. Sofia thought their act was magical, while Heidi said it was a level-up from Arian Stoica and Hurricane.
Following the dog act was an illusionist by the name of Solange Kardinaly. She was a professional magic and quick-change illusionist. After her thrilling performance, Howie called her performance "unique" while Sofia said she could recognize the professional edge they had. Her performance got yeses from all four judges.
Another thrilling performance of the night was that of a South African sibling kids group called Biko's Manna. Heidi said their trip to America was totally worth it, while Howie named them the winners based on their youth and talent. They also bagged four yeses.
Next up was the dance group Legion, who started out by lighting their boots on fire, in a shocking moment. Simon rightly called it "epic" and Howie also said it was surprising to see such a thing. Sofia said hailing from Vegas, she had seen similar acts but yet she was surprised by their unique moves, and gave them one of her two precious Golden Buzzers.
When Jelly Boy the Clown showed up on stage the audience was reminded of Simon's fear of clowns. However, Simon was impressed after his jaw-breaking performance that consisted of sword swallowing, acting with a watermelon and saw, and playing with electronic batons. He left the stage with four yeses.
Dee Dee Simon was the last winner of this episode of America's Got Talent season 19. She sang her own rendition of And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going. Sofia said hearing her was a "treat", while Heidi called her one of the best singers on season 19.
Simon commended her choice to pick one of the hardest songs in the world, and with that, gave her four yeses.
Other acts to feature in this episode were nunchuk specialist Randy Beans, comedian Jacob Hoffman, comedian BORAH the Witch, Olive the illusionist, and dancing group Studmuffin Supreme, but they failed to get the four yeses and had to exit the competition.
