Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Frenchie Babyy combines robotic hip-hop with shoulder and arm contortions.
  2. 1:26Marina Mazepa shifts from ballet into contortion and acrobatics.
  3. 3:16Amadou Diallo, also known as Lasticboy, brings his arm-twisting routine to Mel B at the judges' table.
  4. 10:35Troy James crawls down the stairs on hands and feet, then climbs onto Simon Cowell's desk.
  5. 12:28Jonathan Nosan performs slow theatrical contortions in a business suit.
  6. 14:00Jonathan Burns works an unstrung tennis racket into a comic contortion routine.

Troy James doesn't keep his audition on the stage. Walking backwards on hands and feet, he makes his way down the stairs and onto Simon Cowell's desk, turning the judging area into part of the performance.

That sequence sits at the centre of Got Talent Shorts' most-watched new upload, "10 Contortionists on America's Got Talent Who Left The Judges SPEECHLESS", which has reached roughly 22,000 views. This is a compilation of the television show's performances, with very different approaches to the same extraordinary discipline: Frenchie Babyy mixes contortion with robotic hip-hop, Marina Mazepa starts with ballet, and Jonathan Nosan performs slow, controlled folds in a business suit. Jonathan Burns brings a less solemn prop: an unstrung tennis racket to squeeze through.

The channel's other two uploads lean explicitly into horror. One gathers scary auditions from Got Talent editions around the world; the Halloween-day collection stays with America's Got Talent. Neither has yet drawn as many views as the contortion compilation.

An earlier Nene Royal collection remains the channel's busiest video right now, adding about three times as many daily views as the contortion upload. Across the channel, subscribers were unchanged over the week, while today's viewing is running well below its usual pace. Among nearby talent-and-reality channels, MasterChef World is enjoying above-usual daily viewing; Got Talent Shorts has had a quieter week, with its existing library contributing most of the viewing.
