America’s Got Talent airs its season premiere on May 27, and there’s already a dazzling dance group in the mix that has caught judge Simon Cowell’s attention. America’s Got Talent aims to showcase talent of all kinds for judges Simon, Mel B., Howie Mandel, and Sofía Vergara. There was one shakeup at the judges’ table for America’s Got Talent season 20, with Mel B returning after several years and taking Heidi’s seat on the panel. This is the first time the Spice Girls singer is working with Sofia; she previously worked with Simon on AGT: Fantasy League.
Light Wire blew the America’s Got Talent judges away, which caused Simon Cowell to call them “one of my favorite ever acts.”
During the AGT season 20 premiere, a Brazilian dance troupe known as Light Wire blew the judges away with their interactive number that combined art and technology for a spectacular performance that jumped off the screen. The stunning display, shared by America’s Got Talent‘s YouTube channel, featured live dancers adorned with lights and interactive graphics that blended to create a visual treat that caused Simon to say, “It was actually magic. One of my favorite ever acts.” He loved the act so much he pushed the Golden Buzzer to send Light Wire straight through to the live shows.
What Simon Saying Light Wire Is One Of His “Favorite Ever Acts” Means
Simon’s Words Hold Weight
Simon’s words calling Light Wire “one of [his] favorite ever acts” is high praise during America’s Got Talent season 20. Simon is a notoriously cantankerous reality show judge, and he’s been featured on numerous shows, like American Idol and The X Factor, and has thus seen many performances. For him to say that Light Wire’s audition was “one of [his] favorite ever acts” means they truly have talent, and Simon would know. He isn’t easily impressed, and he wouldn’t say something so bold without feeling like Light Wire could back it up.
