Americas got talent no gravity4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() I want to be able to talk about the days when I struggle, the days when I can’t get up because I’m in pain and my disability’s affecting me. She says, “So many people have thanked me. ![]() The response she’s gotten from followers assured her she did the right thing by sharing so openly about her disability. I have a disability, and it does affect me as a performer,” she admits. I’m a disabled performer, as able-bodied as I look. “Recently, on Instagram, I opened up about my illness. Followers on her social media fell in love with her performing style, as well as with her openness about her struggles with arthritis. And that resonated with little baby Tory.” She continued to train hard to learn how to perform the songs from Wicked, which are notoriously difficult. “So, I really related to her character, because even though everyone was against her, she said, I’m going to defy gravity, I’m going to do it. “Because I was really sick growing up-I have rheumatoid arthritis-I saw myself as an outsider, just like Elphaba,” she explains. Plenty of people may have tried new things and embraced new hobbies with gusto over the pandemic, but few can say that they became Vegas-level aerialists in the backyard without any kind of in-person instruction! Whatever happens next for Aidan Bryant following his upcoming semi-finals performance, he definitely impressed, and I would say is one of the standout competitors who remains in the fight for the top prize without a golden buzzer behind him.Tory cites the musical Wicked as an early influence on her musical theatre performing style. I just thought it's an amazing thing for a teenager to put the phone down and actually go in the backyard and do the work. And now here he is on the live show stage and he could actually be in a Vegas show, literally now. You're talking about a man who basically learned in his backyard, how to do what he's doing over the pandemic, his last two years. If Simon Cowell's nerves could be wracked by an act when he has been judging on America's Got Talent and other talent competitions for years, then that's a sign that Aidan Bryant is definitely doing something right to deliver thrills to go with his story! Host Terry Crews was also surprised and impressed by Bryant after the quarterfinals, and he raved about what the young aerialist delivered: So you know, on a live show, that's nerve-wracking. What it took to surprise, I'd say it was probably Aidan, the 16 year old boy who was on the trapeze. Even Simon Cowell, who Heidi Klum described as "grumpy" following a recent episode, was full of praise for Aidan Bryant and his bravery: The odds are definitely in his favor to continue in the competition, if he continues to impress the judges as much as he has so far. His backyard origins as a self-trained aerialist are about as different from the glitz and glamor of the America's Got Talent stage as can be, but there's no denying that he nailed it in both his audition and his quarterfinals performance, with only the safety of knowing that he mastered his moves on a lower rig before moving on up. The teenage aerialist had already revealed that he taught himself his tricks in his backyard at home, using Pink as an inspiration and with his mom using a tractor to keep his rig elevated in a tree. ![]() And I just try it very low, and then I go higher and get better at the trick that I'm learning. But normally, when I normally train, I have no safety or anything like that. And now I'm on the Dolby stage with no safety or anything like that. It's crazy to think that two years ago, I was in a tree. ![]() Bryant explained how he prepares without a safety net before hitting the bright lights and high stakes of an AGT live show: Aidan Bryant spoke with CinemaBlend and other outlets following his quarterfinals performance, after he dazzled the judges and audiences alike with his aerial act to Tommee Profitt's "I Am Legend." And it was no optical illusion that there didn't seem to be any safety net in case something went wrong for him while he was up in the air over the Dolby Theatre stage. ![]()
