Baton twirler Phillip Lewis surprised Simon with his “off the charts” showmanship during auditions.
We’re just two weeks into America’s Got Talent season 19, and Simon Cowell already has some thoughts about one incredible act.
On the June 4 episode of the NBC series, the judge met Phillip Lewis, a 27-year-old self-taught baton twirler from Statesboro, Georgia.

Simon wasn’t the only one totally engaged with Phillip’s talent. When fans saw the entire routine, they also couldn’t believe how incredible the audition was.
“Self taught and he’s that good? Man, this guy is so talented,” one person exclaimed in the comments. “This was not basic Baton Twirling 101. This was awesome & on another level.

Needless to say, no one was surprised when Phillip got the go-ahead to proceed to the next round. And if Simon’s comments say anything, Phillip will be one to watch …
