PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The fourth episode of ‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 19 captivated viewers with a unique performance by professional domino artists, DaksDominoes. Initially met with skepticism from some judges, the act ultimately won over the panel, showcasing the importance of diverse talents on the AGT stage.
DaksDominoes, known for their intricate domino setups, brought their world-record-breaking skills to the ‘AGT’ auditions. The producers heightened the suspense by allowing the duo to prepare their elaborate display overnight. Despite a brief moment of tension during the setup when a few plastic cups toppled, the act proceeded smoothly, impressing both the judges and the audience.
Howie Mandel initiated the domino chain reaction, leading to a successful conclusion that delighted everyone. Encouraged by this, Howie challenged the duo to break another record in their next performance. Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara hinted at a special surprise act, adding to the excitement.
In contrast, Heidi Klum initially expressed doubts about the act’s suitability for a Vegas show, suggesting it was more appropriate for home entertainment. Simon Cowell, however, defended the performance, emphasizing the value of showcasing unique talents on the AGT stage.
The audience’s positive reaction influenced Heidi to reconsider her stance, and she ultimately joined the other judges in voting to advance DaksDominoes to the next round.
Heidi Klum’s Change of Heart
Heidi Klum, initially unimpressed with DaksDominoes, viewed their act as a fun home activity rather than a potential Vegas spectacle. Her opinion changed after Simon Cowell argued that AGT should highlight a wide range of talents, not just those traditionally considered Vegas-ready. Convinced by the enthusiastic audience, Heidi switched her vote, allowing the duo to progress in the competition.
