America's Got Talent Season 20: The Osso Brothers shocked everyone with their jaw-dropping balancing act

The Osso Brothers: Vsevolod, 19, and Yaroslav, 14, made their way up to America's Got Talent Season 20 auditions. Originally from Kazakhstan, the two hailed from California.

When Simon asked them about their dream, Vsevolod said:

"Well, when we lived in Kazakshta, everybody that we knew kind of did our sport, acrobatics. And when we moved here, we just realized everybody plays football or does basketball. And I'm not hating on any of those sports. Those are great. But I want to get this sport into the Olympics."

Listening to the 19-year-old, Simon said that it was big.

The moment they started their balancing act, everyone's jaws dropped. Seeing how Vsevolod was able to lift his younger brother Yaroslav, everyone was surprised.

During the performance, America's Got Talent judge Mel B yelled while The Osso Brothers continued to amaze everyone. Fellow judge Sophia and show host Terry also couldn't stop cheering and yelling for the duo.

As their performance ended, the two brothers received a loud round of applause from everyone. Along with the audience, Sophia and Mel B also gave the performance a standing ovation.

"I absolutely loved it. It was shocking. I didn't expect it," said Mel B.

She appreciated how they get on with each other and "trusted" each other.

Fellow judges Howie Mandel said he had never seen anything like their act:

"What you are doing is amazing. You know, we see people who are balancers and strength acts all the time, but we've never seen it with young people like this."

Sophia said she "loved" the performance. She talked about how the two were siblings and everything was "flawless."

"It was nerve-wracking. It was amazing. I loved it," she added.

Simon referred to the two brothers as caterpillars who turned into butterflies. Later, when Simon asked fellow judges, they all gave their yeses. The Osso Brothers received four yeses and advanced to the show's next stage.
