When sweet ol’ Ray Jessel walked into the stage, everyone was expecting a beautiful and heartwarming act from a senior who has not given up on his dream. While that might be true (for most parts), there’s nothing that can prepare them for what was about to happen.

Ray loves to write about romance –whether it’s love gained or love lost. He is a romantic at heart which is supposed to yield a pretty sweet performance.

But it was just raunchy as hell, as he sang one of the original songs he wrote.

The song started out great. The audience felt like  front seat passengers of a budding love story but there was something more. Everyone was curious, nervous if you may about what’s going to happen.

The chorus of the song goes:

She’s got that style. She’s got that smile
She’s got the walk. She’s got the talk
She’s got that zing. There’s just one thing
She’s got a p****!

Everyone was confused. One can easily discern from the audience’s s faces that they were second guessing themselves. ‘’Did I just hear p****?’’

It finally sank in. Ray Jessel is not your typical old guy who will give a heartwarming performance. He was there to leave a mark with an edgy performance that is untypical for a guy his age.

Got Talent competitions have all sorts of acts in their roster–from heartwarming to sad to downright death defying. Sometimes, it is hard to sit through a performance without one of your eyes clothes. Alexandr Magala’s audition is definitely one of those performances.

Magala, a 26-year-old daredevil, swallowed swords while doing stunts. It was so dangerous that the audience couldn’t stop gasping in fear of the young man’s safety.

He started his performance with an impressive pole trick where he did did a moonwalk while hanging on the side of a pole, putting his entire body weight on his hands and arms. It takes a lot of strength to be able to do so and he did it flawlessly.

Next, he pulled out a sword which got everyone nervous. He licked the sword and swallowed it, horrifying everyone at the theater. As if swallowing it isn’t enough, he went on to do backflips with the sword still in his mouth. Yikes!

He pulled out the sword from his mouth and threw it to the side. He grabbed another sword, a bigger one, and then stuffed it down his throat, horrifying everyone yet again!

So you must be wondering how the pole in the middle of the stage plays a part in this whole act. Well..he climbed the pole all the way to the top and in inverted his body–with a sword still stuffed down his throat.

He is now upside down, looking at the floor, with a sword still stuffed in his mouth. The crowd and judges screamed in terror. They could barely look at the man who could easily die from this death defying act.

And without warning, the daredevil’s legs loosened the grip from the pole, fast-tracking his spiral to the bottom as he was inverted with a sword STILL in his mouth!

He re-tightened his grip on the pole to stop his fall, just enough for the butt of the handle of the sword touches the ground. Everyone was relieved that the act is over without the young daredevil getting impales.

Even the paramedics in the backstage sighed in relief as he got away with his stunt unscathed. One false move and he could’ve died.

Simon is known as the cold-hearted judge on America’s Got Talent. It takes a lot to have him begging for a vote. This is one of those very rare occasions where he believed in something so much he convinced the other judges to change their mind.

And the act that stole Simon’s heart? It is Sara Carson’s and her dog Hero. At the time of their audition, the duo lived in a van and traveled across North America. Hero sleeps on an orthopedic bed while Sara gets the uncomfortable back seat.

It really is true what they say about dog people: they would rather be hungry and uncomfortable to ensure the comfort of their furry friend. Truly a heartwarming friendship.

When Simon asked what she would do if she won the show and the million dollars, she was quick to respond that it will go to teaching people how to train their dog using positive reinforcement. Even as she competed, she still had dogs in mind.

It’s like the crowd was transported to medieval times. Pirates of the Caribbean-esque music played in the background as Sara and hero gets into a sword fight.

Hans– a self-proclaimed international superstar, s** symbol, accordian, songwriter, Madonna fan — graced the stage of America’s Got Talent and brought non-stop confusion, fun and laughter!

The Berlin wonderboy is a natural at making people’s sides split. Simon asked Hans if he is a full-time performer, to which he responded: ‘’Honey for me, being a celebrity is a full time job. You know, you understand. It really is an act of charity,’’ Hans told Simon.

And when asked if thinks he could win the show, Hands beat around the bush but basically said yes by saying: ‘’Simon, I give you a Beyonce style show on a Demi Lovato budget.’’

At one point, he gave Mel the impression that he has met Simon before. The Berliner was quick to deny it but claims he may be stirring something that’s been brewing inside him for a while now, implying that he might be gay.

Hans started his performance with a ‘’good old fashion German sing-a-long’’ which sounded like a really good idea at first but ended up confusing the audience. After which, he played the intro of Tina Turner’s Proud Mary in a modified and very slow way.

Let’s relive the magic of Sofie Dossi from California who shocked the judges and audience at America’s Got Talent! Sofie’s talent is contorting her body beyond normal human capacity!

And you know what’s even more impressive? She is self-taught. She never went to a flexibility or dance class to teach her how to contort herself.

She found her passion for contortion after watching a video. She gave it a try and has been in love with it ever since. Her family is so supportive, in fact her dad makes all her equipment. Whoop!

A combination of disbelief and amazement overcame the judges at the sight of Sofie’s first trick. She balanced her body on a thin pole and brought her feet all the back to her head. She shifted her legs to the right side of her body and took of one hand from the pole!

She had an apple held by a toilet paper holder attached to one of the thin poles (thanks dad) and she picked it up by contorting her body so far down that the crowd got nervous for her. After all, no human should be that flexible.
