Raw talent – nowhere to go but up! 👍👏
Howie couldn't hear talent if he tried with music acts!
I love these two and how polite and humble they are. I hope that they make it far!!! They’re super talented! ❤
Why is it every time someone is from Tennessee- they just are going to be great. And she was fantastic. Unbelievable. Yeah she needs sparring etc – she really could go far. ❤
She’s got the “IT” factor! Hope to see more
absolutely dope af. her and her momma is also..dope af.. i luv to see it. super talented from the land Cleveland/Benton/Bradley, TN.
Instantly hooked!
Just normal
Trust me , I bet the AGT scouts are on a talent hunt. They’re inviting talented people all over the world and I guess they give them a non disclosure agreement or a contract of some sort. Everything is scripted and finessed to make the show the greatest show or to make AGT the greatest platform in the world
Is this the song Summer Brooke and Mountain Faith did not that long ago on the same show??
Everyone knows Howie hates country music. They need to find someone else to sit on the panel that is impartial and knows talent or folks with potential. Howie isn’t it!
They are the real deal! Her voice is SO country in the best way possible. I could totally hear that on the radio now. Someone sign them now.
Howie is right is agree with him
Howie…You Suck !!!
Great job I thought.
The audience was way too loud but from what I could hear they were great. Howie is so fickle he praised people like Courtney Hadwin who made me cringe at her performance but said no to these two. He must struggle to be a judge being all over the place like he is with what's talent and what isn't.
They needed a better mic for the banjo!!
Sounds better than the original
Some thought Dolly P. had a "too different" or not polished voice! These two were were a dynamic duo!
Why does it have to be polished Howie?
Howie shouldn't have a vote for musical acts. He just doesn't get it.
Howie sounded stupid here
If banjo guy could sing harmony, it'd be a winning combo. The banjo itself adds something, so they're still a good group in that respect, and they seem like very nice people which is refreshing.
Americana. ❤ 250th
I’m just wondering what is wrong with howie??
They fricken we’re amazing, this compliment was provided from another person that resides in Tennessee.
Very good. The banjo player made the song, though both have impeccable timing.
I actually agree with Howie, they sounded average
I get where Howie is coming from bc they seemed a little off in chemistry with each other, not like a real band. But I also like them both individually so much that it is worth putting them through
She really don't need that banjo player.
Ryan Upchurch… please get ahold of these amazing Gems 💎.
Howie's turned into a grumpy old man! just listen to the crowd, Thank you Mel for the save!
Wow! Excellent! Love this.
A no? Puleeze – howie must get paid to sound ridiculous
Definitely talented and have a ton of potential, but that was flat. It lacked soul. I don’t know if I agree they need a full year though, I think they were worth taking a chance on and seeing if they can add that energy it lacked soul
Look at me, I listen to 99.9% rap and hip hop and even i can see these two SNAPPED. Straight stars bruh. Getoudahere Howie 🤣🤣
Thats was pure honey. ❤
Turn that banjo up y’all!!! Congrats from Oklahoma 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Wow!!!! ❤
By far, Howie is the most clueless and annoying judge. You'd think it would be Mel B bc sometimes her opinions are from…who knows? But Howie is the worst, consistently.
Howie is an idiot.
This is Week 4 Auditions, except for Rejected Acts, this is the 2nd week of Auditions to see Mel vote "Yes" for all Acts, the First was Week 1.
Howie the guy that cannot carry a note should not be commenting on singers, maybe stick to comedy.
Couldn’t really hear the song with all that audience noise. They like their own excitement more than respect the artist’s performance, it seems
Don’t listen to Howie! Can’t stand him.
WOW! You are both stars
287k views when writing this, they definitely have expanded their base from a hometown of 1500. I wish them well a new young duo especially if she writes original material as someone else mentioned they just need that one big break.
Howie Didn't think they could win it but he can give them a chance
Audience clap ruined it
They should win🎉🎉🎉
