Simon Cowell Left Speechless By ‘AGT’ Opera Singer On A Horse

Tuesday night marked the final episode of auditions on AGT 2020. The first part of the show featured performances in the studio with Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel as judges.

However, the last half hour of the episode included video auditions that the judges watched from their own homes, due to COVID-19 restrictions. One act, featuring an opera singer on a horse, had Simon so flabbergasted he could barely form a critique.
