Adrian Romoff Auditions For ‘AGT’
Before his audition, Adrian shared that he’s also good at science, but pointed out, “You can’t be a doctor at age 5, correct? You can be a musician, though.” He said he uses piano to express his feelings to the audience.
The judges were shocked to hear that Adrian is in eighth grade at 9 years old. He explained that he skipped five grades. “You’re that smart?” Heidi Klum asked him. “According to reality, yes,” Adrian said, making the audience laugh.

Adrian stepped up to the keyboard and played “Flight of the Bumblebee” at an incredibly fast speed, knocking over his seat as he put all his energy into the performance. Howie Mandel was so impressed, he stood up before the performance was over.
Howard Stern said he was “utterly and thoroughly confused,” and wondered how much of the music was from a track. So Adrian offered to play another song for the AGT judges. This was was slower.
What Did The Judges Think Of Adrian’s Performance?
Howard said Adrian “cleared my confusion” with the second song. He said he did a “really good job.” Mel B said he “had me at hello,” and Heidi said she could listen to him all day.
“You are the future. You are absolutely brilliant,” Howie told him. “You are so far beyond your years. England has Harry Potter. We have you.” All four of the judges voted yes to send Adrian to the next round.
