Contortionist Liberty Barros will now be seen auditioning for America’s Got Talent season 18, which premieres on NBC on Tuesday, May 30 at 8 pm ET.
Liberty is known to be the “World’s Most Flexible Girl” and often impresses the audience with her amazing body bending talent.
Liberty Barros will now try to impress the judges on America’s Got Talent with her performance. She has already competed in Britain’s Got Talent season 15, where she was eliminated in the judges’ cut, and Spain’s Got Talent, where she reached the semi-finals.
Liberty Barros currently holds three Guinness World Records because of her flexible body-
- Tying her show laces in 10 seconds in a chest roll position
- Walking 20m back with a back bend knee lock within 22.53 second
- Most chest to floor backbends in 30 seconds
America's Got Talent contestant Liberty Barros did not know about her talent until she was ten-years-old
14-year-old Liberty Barros is from Peterborough. According to her website, she did not have any gymnastic ability and used to wish that she could do a cartwheel like other girls.
At the age of 10, she copied Rihanna’s music video Umbrella and accidently discovered that she could position her body into a full backbend.
Since then, Liberty Barros has been performing on various TV shows and live events. She has been featured on Nickelodeon, BBC, BGT and ZoomingTV. Barros is associated with Gravity Fitness centre, which provides unconventional training to people.
Liberty Barros takes the help of yoga for her flexible body and says in her website:
"My training is excellent for producing results in body well-being and functional movement. Being happy in movement brings a lot of fun into creating routines!!"
Barros also raises money for various charities like the NHS with the help of her acts.
