Bird & Byron Fly Into Live Rounds on ‘AGT’ With ‘Haunting’ Original Song: Watch
Facing elimination, the pair performed an original number.
Blake Bergere and Nick Lorenz, childhood friends from New Albany, Ohio, are pursuing their passion for music on the 21st season of NBC's America's Got Talent, performing as Bird & Byron. The duo faced elimination, but instead of the traditional elimination round, they were granted a Judges' Callback. This second chance allowed them to showcase their original song, "By My Side."
Back home, Bergere works at a burger restaurant, making the opportunity to compete on AGT a dream come true. During their performance, judge Howie Mandel praised their music and voice, emphasizing the importance of showmanship. Comedian and guest advisor Nikki Glaser advised Bergere to be more confident and share the vibe with the audience.
After a moment of deliberation, Mandel confirmed that he would let the duo proceed to the live shows alongside other acts such as Nene Royal, Cris Sosa, Daniel Alvarez, Kameron Marshall, Brook Lynn, and Olivia Befus. The Live Quarterfinals are set to begin on August 18th on NBC.
