Awesome Job on AGT
I am SO upset that you guys didn’t get voted into the Semi-Finals on AGT! When Nick read the name of the other group, I just cried. I LOVED watching you and I do hope I will get to see you on/in future shows.
I’ve never seen anyone I enjoyed more.
Namaste!
I was blown away that you guys did not get to continue on with AGT!
The other gorup bangs on plastic cans, sounds like blu-man grp all over again.
You guys are amazing and I truly believe something big is waiting for you and you will be prefroming somewhere Huge!
I would love to know when it happens and where you will be preforming so I could come watch.
Dont give up, you guys rock!
