What If Simon Cowell Auditioned For AGT… Nobody Saw This Coming!

What's your name? So I'm Tom Graham from Australia. And I'm Chris Youmay from Belgium. How did you meet? So actually, we started a company about a year ago, and because it was during the pandemic, we only actually met in person two days ago. Oh. And what is your talent? So our company is called Metaphysic, and we use artificial intelligence to create hyper real content. And so we're going to invite our good friend Daniel Emmett on stage, who you guys are familiar with from a previous season. I remember who Daniel is. And we're going to show the audience something kind of amazing. How are you, everybody? Nice to see you. You were on how many years ago? Four years ago. And you were amazing. And you were a very good singer. So how did you meet? We met because, of course, I'm fans of what they do online, and they're fans of AGT. And when they asked me to be a part of this wonderful, unique, original thing they're going to do, I couldn't say no. You look very mysterious. I don't want to ask anything else. Good luck. OK, Daniel, take it away. Thank you so much. Good luck. Thank you, guys. What? Stay put together. All right. Let's play it again live. Love was meant to be the kind of love that lasts forever. I want you here with me for tonight until the end of time. You should know that everywhere I go, always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul. Baby, you're the meaning in my life. You're the inspiration. You bring a feeling to my life. You're the inspiration. I want to have you near me. I want to have you hear me saying, no one needs you more than I, more than I need you. Need you. I know it's strange, but I love you, Daniel. Simon. Contestant, a great singer who looks incredible. We just found them. All day. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. For her to be able to create something so perfect, because if I was not paying attention and I see this on TV, I think it's Simon 20 years ago singing. I love it. Don't you love the fact that talent can be anything, and you guys are pure talent to make us smile and make us laugh. That's what we want from whatever stands on that X. So I'd love to begin voting just by saying yes. Four yeses. That was good. Now, I have never seen Simon Cowell get to his feet as fast as he did when he saw this act. Mind you, he was the act. If none of that makes any sense, it will in a minute. Here's Metaphysic. What is your talent? We use artificial intelligence to create hyperreal content. The audition was great. The way Simon reacted was amazing. Like, he's a part of the act. I've always said, is there such a thing as a perfect contestant? A great singer who looks incredible. We just found them. For me personally, that's why I do it. I want to make people smile. But we really want to get to the grand final. So tonight, we have to amaze people once again. What we're doing here at AGT is the most advanced AI content creation the world's ever seen. It's very sophisticated in terms of the AI building its own understanding of how a human face works based on the training data that it's fed with. We'd love to win AGT because we think that this kind of technology, these performances would be amazing in a live show in Vegas. Imagine if we could bring back the greatest entertainers we ever had in this world on stage, live performing. So compared to the audition, we're upping the level. We've been working on this for weeks and weeks, nights and nights, fine-tuning it because we want to make sure it's perfect. It has to be perfect. Tonight, we want to make the impossible possible. Ma il mio mistero è chiuso Non sulla tua voce Splendido Silenzio Che ti fa mia Dimentico le stelle Ma vincerò Vincerò Dimentico le stelle Vincerò We always have been and now we've taken it to a different level, team. I mean, look. Putting all the... I mean, it's kind of a weird one to judge this one. But let me... In terms of talent, originality, I have to say something. This is not the best act of the night. Oh, yes, it is. This is the best act, I believe, of the series so far. Yes. In terms of making that moment, originality, looks. It was beautiful. I mean, it's us. It's us, man. It is us. It's like Il Divo, but it's Il Stupido. And what's great, and we should mention, not only is it like deep fake or whatever you're calling that AI, but the fact that you had the gumption to actually use my own voice is amazing. That takes guts. And it worked. I told you it would. I told you I can do it. Heidi, how great were we? Epic. This was an epic, epic, epic moment. I mean, first of all, I have to say to you guys singing, beautiful singing. The opera was amazing. First of all, right here, it's just epic. The whole thing is epic. Sofia. Well, I think it's scary, and I think it's fascinating at the same time. I think you guys did a great job tonight. You did fine. You just put together the greatest performance in AGT history. How are you going to top that? So, before we go, so glad you guys love it, but next time on this stage, we're going to bring back one of the greatest rock and roll, rock and roll icons of all time. And maybe, hopefully, we'll see Heidi and Sofia sing. Oh, yes! Good luck tonight, guys. When this act burst onto the scene at the auditions, they got everybody talking and Simon Cowell singing. But can their incredible technology make them champions? This is their shot. The AGT Finals. How do you top your last performance? The performers in the final are amazing, and one of the reasons they're so great is that that emotional connection they make with the crowd, that's something that's very difficult to capture when you're creating synthetic content. So, for the final, it's like a roll of the dice. We're going to bring back an American icon, one of the most famous celebrities in the world. This has to be one-to-one, the real thing, because people remember this person. It has to be perfect. It could be a bit of a gamble, but we're going all in. We've been pushing the technology as far as it can possibly go. If you compare what we did in the audition, the quality is such a huge difference. And where the technology melts away in your caption, that emotional moment in your mind, that's what Vegas is about. You could win the Vegas live show. Are you ready for something like that? I think the question is, Terry, are you ready to be in Las Vegas singing every week, you know? We want to win it. We want to show the world what we can do. We want to make the impossible possible, and I think we're up for it. Thank you. Thank you very much. It sure is an honor to be here with y'all on America's Got Time. I'd like to thank Tom, Chris, and Metaphysic for having me here tonight. I have to tell you, we're going to do a couple of our biggest records for you now, and this first one is a tender love song. And as a great philosopher once said, You ain't nothing but a hound dog Cryin' You ain't nothing but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well you ain't never called a reckon Well you aint no friend of mine What if I said you was high in price Well that was just a lie What if I said you was high in price Well that was just a lie Well you ain't never called a reckon When you ain't an old friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog and Crockin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog and Crockin' all the time When you ain't never caught a rabbit You ain't an old friend of mine You look like an angel Look like an angel But I ain't got one You're the devil in disguise You fool me with your kisses You cheat and you scheme Heaven knows how it weighs You look like an angel Talk like an angel But I ain't got one You're the devil in disguise Oh yes you are You are the devil in disguise I love when you guys come to the show Because it's something so different And this year, this season I mean, the range of acts It's gonna be so hard for people to vote And for someone to win Because this is so bad on ADT So good luck tonight Simon, was your mind blown, man? Everything was blown, I gotta be honest with you, Terry I think, you know, let's remember What this night is all about It's about winning, it's about the money But more importantly, it's about being in Vegas This, in my opinion Is probably the most Incredible original act We've ever had in any show I mean You know You are, in my opinion With your I mean, you're so creative You're gonna have your own show On Vegas, there's no question No! The Luxor Hotel, you're watching this Get ready Howie, Howie You know what, I'll just say what Billy Crystal always said I was watching it, you look Marvellous Guys, how did you do this? It was a team effort And the only thing that we want is to Make people smile and bring them into that moment And thanks for everybody For giving us the opportunity to do that Do you prefer Working on America's Got Talent Or Modern Family?
