Before the Live Quarterfinals, Sebastian and Sonia experienced tragedy, yet they persisted and took home the Golden Buzzer.
As with every episode, the current round of America’s Got Talent featured a variety of performers, including magicians, singers, dancers, and more. Simon Cowell claims that an act who was both incredibly talented and bold received the final Live Golden Buzzer of the Season 19 Quarterfinals.
During their tryout, Sebastian and Sonia amazed the audience with their nearly unbelievable aerialist skills. In an attempt to prove their abilities to the world once more, they advanced swiftly to the next round. But then tragedy struck, and they had only three days to make their entire performance worthy of a Golden Buzzer.
What is Sonia’s situation?
Behind-the-scenes rehearsing is a major part of any AGT Act. Anything can happen during practice if you have a risky act like Sebastian and Sonia’s. Sonia broke her elbow as she fell while getting ready on the AGT stage. She was unable to do their intricate aerialist routine on Tuesday night due to her injury, which forced her to wear a brace for the foreseeable future.
These two understood they needed to continue attempting “to fight for our dreams and keep things alive,” as Sebastian phrased it, whereas other post-show performers could have given up.
Even though her injuries grieved him, he spent the next three days coming up with a solo act that they believed would keep them in the competition until she recovered and they could once more perform for the world.
Sebastian gave a stunning and athletic rendition to Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood,” even though he didn’t have much time to rehearse and typically collaborates with Sonia. He used ropes to catapult himself high over the platform and execute a series of flips and stunts that you had to see to believe, captivating the audience. He maintained his entire weight with his arms perilously far over the stage as he executed a spectacular spin to end the performance.
The brief moments when the cameras panned backstage to show Sonia and Terry Crews watching the act together were possibly the most upbeat parts of the entire show. Sonia’s eyes stayed on the television as the presenter danced to the music, taking in every second and every move Sebastian made specifically to maintain their shared dream.
Neither the audience nor the judges, particularly Cowell, were blind to the gravity of the situation or the beauty of the performance.
Why did Simon Cowell award the Golden Buzzer to Sonia and Sebastian?
All things considered, Cowell thought Sebastian’s stage performance showed daring in addition to extraordinary skill.
“A lot of people would have quit.” He said, “How do you do this act with two people and one person and make it incredible?” “I think the majority of people would have just said, ‘You know what, we’ve had an accident, and we can’t continue,’” to be honest. However, you did the opposite. You went on. Since this was the best response we’ve received thus far, you’re getting
Following that and the thunderous applause from the audience, Simon pressed the Golden Buzzer, advancing Sebastian and Sonia to the Finals, where she ought to be recovered and prepared to battle.
“That’s what courage is all about,” Cowell said. “You never give up.” Really.
Because of their courage, mutual trust, and exceptional skill, the sobbing aerialist duo’s hopes are now salvaged for another round.
