You're what''s wrong with the world today. Just because he's a kid doesn't mean he deserve's a golden buzzer. This pansy liberal way is no longer about talent. As long as they're a cute kid, a handicapped kid, or have a sad story they are given a yes. It's a TALENT show, not a sympathy show.

@@americannobody27 First off you complete worthless no talent jerk, I have nearly 50 years in professional entertainment including places like Broadway and the East End (That's in England because I'm sure you don't have a clue where it is or what it is). This kid's act was outstanding and for Simon to take the steps he was taking should tell anyone with a single working brain cell that if one of the leading producers in the world says someone is great they are great. Before you continue down your pro nazi path of pure bull, check out this the meaning of liberal (I'm sure you will have to have someone read it to you then expalin it to you as well. According to Webster (that the dictionary people because I'm sure you have no clue who that is) Liberal means: Lib’er-al, I.a 1. Possessing or manifesting a free and generous heart; bountiful. 2. Appropriate and/or fitting for a broad and enlightened mind. 3. Free for narrowness, bigotry or bondage to authority or creed. II.n 1. Any person who advocates liberty of thought, speech, or action.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dance like this that actually made me feel emotion. Merrick is an unbelievably talented dancer. The music and his dancing told a perfect story. ❤

He got golden buzzer praises from all Judges especially Simon! Beautiful story!

That young man's dancing it's fluidity blew me away and the way he emoted facially. The way he was able at such a young age to express the different feelings, and emotions with his face. The way he spoke with his eyes, as his dance flowed across the stage was breathtaking.
