AGT fans get 'goosebumps' over act's unique performance that has judges in shock

Jun 14, 2024

FANS of America's Got Talent have shared their love over a hair band's unique choice performance.

Even the reality talent shows' judges joined the giddy crowd in a standing ovation.

AGT viewers are still buzzing about Nashville rock band True Villains.

For their audition, the heavy metal singers shook things up with their own rendition of the Billie Eilish hit Bad Girl.

As they sped the tempo up and thumped out the lyrics, fans went wild for the good rendition.

Viewers watching at home flooded the show's Instagram page with praise.

"Y'all killed it!!" one person shared, as another added: "Great performance, loved them!"

A third admitted they got: "Goosebumps when Beau (Lastavich) hit that upper register!"

One person gushed: "oh they DEF gained a fan after this."

While a final called out the original singer: "Favorite cover cover this song EVER! Billie Eilish should be proud!"

The people whose votes counted most - the judges - unanimously agreed, giving four enthusiastic "Yes" nods to send the band to the next round.

"I I love them," Howie Mandel told his colleagues before turning his attention to the act onstage. "Your voice is amazing and distinctive. Great musicianship, great voice, great presentation. I want to buy tickets and come see you."

The competition show has seen some jaw-dropping performances over the years, including another singer that episode that brought fans to tears when she took the stage with a heartfelt story.

Louisiana native Kylie Frey performed an original song called Horses in Heaven which was dedicated to her grandfather who encouraged her to follow her dreams.

The 28-year-old grew up in a big rodeo family and even reached the status of Rodeo Queen before trying her luck on AGT.

Kylie grew up inspired by the legendary Reba McIntire and followed in her footsteps by launching a career singing the national anthem at various rodeos across the country.

Before her performance, the vocalist spoke about her beloved late grandfather, saying: "So I wrote this song for my grandpa, he always told me that if I always sing the national anthem for every rodeo that I showed up to, that one day someone would ask me to sing the national anthem at the NFR which is the SuperBowl of rodeo.

"And that's how I was going to get my start. Because that's how Reba did and I was going to do it too," she explained.

Kylie then sang her own lyrics, telling the story of how her grandfather "taught her how to ride" and how he must be "riding horses in heaven."

The audience was left speechless and many in tears over the ballad written for her late grandparent.

However, not every crooner is a hit.

On Tuesday's episode, the panel watched ukulele savant Sunny Chatum take the stage to perform his act.

But when he began to stall, Heidi Klum, 50, and Sofia Vergara, 51, pressured him to sing by threatening to push the red button.

The performer pulled several toys out of his pocket, pleading with the panel to let him show them "one more thing."

But the frustration was clear, as Simon Cowell, 63, replied: "No, I'm really begging you now."

Heidi then chimed in, with a terse tone to say: "Sunny do you see this hand? It's getting real close to the red buzzer if you don't start singing right now!"

Sunny was visibly distraught as he pleaded: "No please don't! I brought you egg shakers! Please!"

But Heidi was not having it, as she shouted: "Start singing!" with her hand hovering over the buzzer.

"Please stop!" Sunny begged as the crowd and all the cast urged him to "start singing."

Finally, the contestant relented, as he promised: "OK, I'll sing. OK, I'll sing. I'm gonna sing."

Simon replied: "OK, put the things down and sing please."

Sunny said: "OK, I'm sorry," as he hid his toy shakers in his pockets.

"Hand is traveling, it's getting closer Sunny," Heidi threatened again, moving her arm just inches above the buzzer.

"Sunny! Tick tock tick tock."

Sunny answered: "OK! I'm gonna sing," as he picked up his ukulele and looked at the strings.

"Good, thank god," Simon replied.

The performer strung one chord, and then looked down at his pockets once more, saying: "I'm sorry, I just gotta tune up real quick."

But the pause was enough to push Heidi over the edge as she slammed her hand down on the button.

The crowd cheered as the supermodel slammed the contestant, saying: "Are you kidding me Sunny?"

"I just wanted everyone to be a part of it," Sunny explained, looking downtrodden at his fate.

But the judges showed no sympathy, as Sofia yelled at the stage: "Goodbye!" with an angry expression.
