Bryant expressed his satisfaction with winning America’s Got Talent, stating that he was able to showcase a wider range of dynamic skills that he hadn’t previously been able to. He described the win as a significant accomplishment, stating that it was a really big deal for him. Bryant went on to explain that during his previous appearance on the show in season 16, he was less experienced and lacked confidence in his choreography and music choice. However, he learned everything that viewers saw during his latest appearance over the course of the last two years and was eager to show it off.
The Competition Was Tough
It is well-known among fans that Bryant previously competed on season 16 of AGT in 2021 but was defeated by magician Dustin Tavella, an experience that he described as crushing. When he returned to compete on America’s Got Talent stage, Bryant made it clear that he was determined to make the most of his second chance. In an episode of the All-Stars series that aired on January 9th, Bryant stated that he knew he had to seize the opportunity, saying he couldn’t lose to Tavella again. Following the episode, Bryant received the superfan vote and secured a spot in the finale.
During the finale, Bryant delivered a stunning performance that left judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Heidi Klum, as well as host Terry Crews, on their feet. Reflecting on the experience in an interview at the time, Bryant expressed his gratitude for making it to the finals, stating that it was a testament to the hard work he had put in since he was 14 years old, practicing in his backyard tree. He went on to say that his second chance on the show was an opportunity to prove to the world that he had transitioned from being an amateur to a professional aerialist.
As part of the finale, Bryant had the opportunity to perform on stage with Adam Lambert, a former American Idol contestant and current Queen frontman. He was joined by the other finalists, The Bello Sisters. Reflecting on the experience, Bryant spoke highly of Lambert, describing him as awesome and very sweet. Lambert himself had placed second during his time on American Idol in 2009.
