Olivia Befus
She is 17 years old and comes out with her dog. Olivia said she’s always had pets since she was young. The stage is set up as her bedroom, and they do tricks together. The dog is whispering to her, dancing, jumping, and having fun together. The judges and audience seem to love it, but then she brings out a second dog, who definitely can get some height!
Judges’ Reactions: Sofia said she is so good, and she did a great job. Howie said she inspired millions, and it was beautiful. Mel B said the dogs are clearly enjoying themselves and that melts her heart. Simon said those dogs are very hard to train. She has a real gift for this.
Results: It’s four yes votes, so she is moving on to the next round!
James & Marina
They are mentalists and had that connection from their very first date. There is something special there, and they don’t know where it came from. They have Mel B join Marina for this performance. Mel B covers her eyes, and James goes out to the audience to gather items from them. He holds them in his hands, and she guesses what they are while blindfolded. She even picks a parking ticket and tells the numbers on the ticket. Mel B asks, how are you doing this? They then have Terry walk around and gather some items from the audience since someone else is doing it. We see a card trick with Simon, but then we get to the box of goodies that Terry gathered. They were covered, but James pulled them out one at a time, and she guessed them all right, including a dollar bill and the serial number on it.
Judges’ Reactions: Mel B said she was right next to her and this is one of her favorite acts this season by far. Howie said it was amazing. Well done and well performed. Simon said everyone is going to be watching this, wondering how they did it. It was brilliant.
Results: It’s another four yeses, as they are moving on to the next round!
Brook Lynn on ‘America’s Got Talent’
She said she is a little nervous, but so excited to be on “America’s Got Talent” 2026. Brook Lynn is from the Netherlands and has never done anything like this before. It’s the biggest crowd she’s ever performed for. She is trying to work past her nerves, that’s for sure. She definitely starts a little shaky, but as it goes on, she seems to gain more confidence and strength in her voice. Brook Lynn can definitely sing!
Judges’ Reactions: Sofia said she loved it and loved her and the song. Mel B said she closed her eyes, and it sounded like she was in her happy place, and her voice sounded so beautiful. Howie said it was haunting. It was open, warm, and beautiful. Simon said he hopes this boosts her confidence. She has great range and confidence.
Results: Four more yes votes, as she is moving on to the next round!
Kyle Johnson
The judges aren’t sure what he is going to do. Mel B thinks he’s a comedian. Kyle is 58 years old and feeling great. He comes out and has two puppets on sticks attached to him. He does some dancing, and it’s exciting and gets the crowd going, but not that great.
Judges’ Reactions: Sofia said they liked to be surprised on “America’s Got Talent,” but that wasn’t a good surprise. Mel B said it was really original.
Grant Johnson
He comes out, and the judges, again, don’t know what he’s going to do. Grant comes out and starts slapping his neck to play the song he is performing. The judges quickly hit their “X,” but Simon asks if he has a second slap? It’s a no for Grant.
Micah Bean on ‘America’s Got Talent’
Micah looks like a country singer, but another surprise for the judges. A Britney Spears song comes on the player, but then he starts coming out with deathcore singing. It’s very intense, but the judges aren’t impressed again.
Judges’ Reactions: Sofia said he looks like a nice country guy, and then the devil came out. The judges are all a no.
Herwan Legaillard
Another surprise for the judges, as he climbs up on a platform and then brings out swords before heading to commercial break! He climbs up on some silks and then proceeds to swallow the swords! He does some dangerous tricks down the silks. Then he swallows another sword and does some tricks on a rope. The platform he was standing on is full of water, so he goes into the water and swallows another sword while in the water. He then comes out and hangs on the rope by his neck and gets whipped around that stage. Such a cool act, and it has you nervous.
Judges’ Reactions: Simon said we weren’t expecting that. Mel B said there was water, sword-swallowing, and aerial stuff. It was great. Sofia said it was spectacular. Simon said that made him really nervous. Make it less dangerous next time.
Results: It’s four yes votes for Herwan, as he is moving on to the next round on “America’s Got Talent” Season 21.
Madelyn Tallent & Malachi Martin
They are from Benton, Tennessee. They want this to work so they can get out of the small town and play big venues. Both of them have been wanting to do this their whole lives, but have only been performing together for six months. Madelyn does have a strong voice with a country twang to it. Malachi is there to add some banjo to the music, but it kind of gets drowned out by the crowd.
Judges’ Reactions: Simon said they are so authentic and real. Her voice is fantastic, and he likes both of them. Howie said he likes her voice. Because it’s new, it doesn’t seem ready. Mel B said they are hard-working. They are so talented, they can do better.
Results: Howie said it’s a no, and they can be ready for next season. However, the other three judges all gave them a yes, and they are moving on to the next round!
Rubén Roldán on “AGT” 2026
He said he is here to prove that limits don’t exist. His friend said he is the hardest-working person he knows. He definitely wants to win “America’s Got Talent” Season 21. Rubén does parkour and wants to inspire people while doing it. He heads outside to start the performance. He starts on the staircase, but then rips off his pants and shows he is an amputee. Rubén then takes off the leg and does the whole performance on one leg. What he does is amazing, and it’s so fun to watch. He is so strong and so talented.
Judges’ Reactions: Sofia said that it was amazing. Simon said that was bloody fantastic. He has so much respect for his talent and his courage. Because of that, he reaches over and hits the Golden Buzzer for Rubén!
Bird & Byron
They are a couple of quiet dudes. They were mistaken for brothers in grade school, which led them to become friends. Their friends have always been supportive of their music, and “AGT” gives them a chance to let more people see their music. They’ve known each other for 20 years, but have been performing for seven years. I was nervous for this one, as they are so quiet and a little awkward. However, they start, and he can sing! They are quiet, but the song comes out so powerful.
Judges’ Reactions: Mel B said she felt the lyrics. Howie said that was absolutely beautiful. It’s like you’re crying and singing. Sofia said that was the most perfect audition she’s seen this season. America is going to go crazy over you. Simon asked why they hadn’t heard of them yet. Your voice is sensational.
Results: It’s four yes votes, as they are headed to the next round on “America’s Got Talent” 2026.
Mr. Hammerhand
He appeared during Season 18, trying to break a Guinness World Record for most coconuts broken in a minute. The record was 148, and he broke 23! It was not good, but he’s back again to try to redeem himself. He is 67 years old, so factor that into things. For tonight’s record attempt, he’s going to try to break the most baseball bats, broken by hand, in 30 seconds. The bats have to be broken into two pieces, and the record to beat is 25. He starts smashing those bats, but slows down as time goes on. To be honest, my hand is hurting watching him smash those bats. However, he got 31 bats in 30 seconds, so he got the Guinness World Record!
Results: He redeemed himself and did it, so he gets four yes votes from the judges!
Mackenzie Sol
He auditioned for Simon Cowell and “The X Factor” in Britain when he was just 4 years old. The age limit was 16, so there was no way he could truly get on the show. However, it’s over 20 years later, and he’s back auditioning in front of Simon again. Mackenzie has a good voice and shows some great range while singing. He is a good-looking guy, and the audience loves him. He seems likable, but that range is amazing in his voice.
Judges’ Reactions: A standing ovation from the judges. Mel B said she thinks he is absolutely, extraordinarily fabulous. She said she is glad she got to speak first, as she’s going to do this and hit that Golden Buzzer for him!
Patrox on ‘AGT’
After a quick no for Hagino Lizardman, we have the last audition of the night. His name is Patrox, and he definitely comes out looking all shy and nervous. He is from Germany. Patrox is 36 years old and has been dancing for 20 years. He starts dancing, and the music seems off. Patrox makes it through and awkwardly comes to an end, or so it seems. He said the music was off, and there was something they had to do. Watch it in reverse! The screen pops up, and they watch his whole routine in reverse, but with music to it. Kind of cool to see and unique.
Judges’ Reactions: Mel B said what you just did, I don’t think I’ve ever seen. That was brilliant. Sofia said she is so excited, and it was special and perfect for “AGT.” Simon said one of the most original things we’ve seen, and it was absolutely genius.
Results: The judges loved it, and it got four yes votes!
The auditions are done for tonight. Who was your favorite act of the night?
