Kids performed their original acapella piece for the semi-finals round to potentially earn the approval of America and get their votes. The members came onto the stage in colorful costumes, with a lot of glitter and glam behind them. The group then began performing, and they instantly impressed the audience with their vocal range and choreography.While the group was in the midst of performing, AGT judge Howie Mandel pressed the 'X' buzzer, signaling that he wasn't impressed by the performance. However, the members kept their hopes up and continued to perform.After the performance, people were keen to hear what Howie had to say about it. The judge explained why he buzzed the act:"To me, listen, you harmonize. The only thing that was glowing for me was the red X (buzzer). You have nice voices. I felt like I was at a school assembly. I didn't do great in school. I didn't do great during that, but I'm sorry. It doesn't rise to the level of AGT in my mind."Howie Mandel@howiemandelListen. I have my opinions. Was I right? #AGT545Listen. I have my opinions. Was I right? #AGT https://t.co/vsPz4QV0tbAlthough Heidi disagreed with Howie, Simon completely echoed the sentiment and revealed that the performance wasn't as impressive as it could have been. Sofia confessed that she liked their audition better than their semi-finals performance. However, all the judges believed that the group was extremely talented and encouraged them to keep working on their skills.Fans were left with mixed emotions upon seeing Howie's decision. Some felt it was unjustified and believed the AGT judge didn't understand acapella. Others agreed with him, stating that the group's performance wasn't up to the show's expectations.Taylor’s Live-Tweet Account!@tayquack_LTWHAT THE HELL HOWIE ….. where’s that sickness where you need it[#AGT]11WHAT THE HELL HOWIE ….. where’s that sickness where you need it[#AGT]Josh Kennon@skatefan78Acapop! is just AMAZING -- I love how EVERYONE gets their chance to have their moment (ugh Howie BUZZED? -- He'll say the song was boring/schmaltzy, I'm sure) -- Great harmonies -- NOTHING wrong with it! #AGT #AmericasGotTalent #AGTQualifier41Acapop! is just AMAZING -- I love how EVERYONE gets their chance to have their moment (ugh Howie BUZZED? -- He'll say the song was boring/schmaltzy, I'm sure) -- Great harmonies -- NOTHING wrong with it! #AGT #AmericasGotTalent #AGTQualifier4Ky@TheKyiahReally Howie?
