America's Got Talent season 19 Quarterfinals 3: Kelsey Jane's performance explored

In America's Got Talent season 19 episode 13, full-time dentist Kelsey Jane gave an aerial performance to Who I Am by Wyn Starks. Her performance was met with cheers from the studio audience and a standing ovation from Heidi Klum.

The AGT season 19 judge had trouble giving feedback to the contestant because of the audience's loud and positive reaction. When she was able to get a word in, she said she was "fascinated."

"I don't know if everyone knows but you're a dentist and you just do this as a hobby so for me this is already mindblowing," Heidi said.

The America's Got Talent season 19 judge added that she thought Kelsey Jane's performance was "flawless" and loved her performance.

Howie Mandel countered Heidi's comments and said that the best thing the judge liked was her "smile." While criticizing Kelsey's performance, he said that AGT saw a lot of acts like hers. He added that unless it was "spectacular," it bored him. He stated that she would have been great if they were at a "dental convention."

As the audience booed him, the America's Got Talent season 19 judge added that it could have been "more thematic."

Sofia Vergara said that she believed the season 19 performer was amazing. She added that the judges loved her during the auditions. The actress said that while she loved her during the Quarterfinals 3 as well, she didn't love her choice of song.

"You were a dentist, weren't you?" Howie asked Sofia.

Simon answered the judge and said that she was before addressing the America's Got Talent season 19 contestant. He asked her why she wanted to "do this" considering how much money dentists made.

"Because it's fun," Kelsey Jane said.

Fans of the show took to social media to praise the contestant but were unhappy with the judges' critiques.

Tune in on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, to see whether Kelsey Jane will receive enough votes to make it to the AGT season 19 semi-finals.
