Early Release: Madelyn Tallent and Malachi Martin Take A Musical Risk | Judges' Callbacks | AGT 2026

So your first audition went great, but there were some comments What changes have you made or are you gonna make so the song we're doing starts out? Slower and more intimate. What song is it shut up and dance? Oh Now are you open to possibly having different song choices that you may learn on the fly? Yes, because tomorrow's a big day. I'm very open to anything good. Yeah good She doesn't love the song that we already have prepared. I feel like now we have to do another song We're not we're not gonna let any any curveball hinder our performance Something's still feeling off It's crazy we've had less than 24 hours to really recreate a song It needs to feel more cohesive and it needs to feel more prepared The live shows are right at our fingertips. We're one step away from that But if you don't grab it, it's not gonna happen. Okay, let's get like a run. Here we go I want to prove to Mel that she made the right choice in putting us through and however the chips fall they will fall I know I gave you a lot of stuff to think about Yesterday. So what what have you done? Yeah, we tried preparing new things And we just found that it wasn't really working for us All right, just do you? We were victims of the night a chemical physical kryptonite Helpless to the bass and the faded light. Oh We were bound to be together bound to be together So don't you dare look back just keep your eyes on me I send you holding back He said This boy is my destiny he said Shut up and dance with me Deep in his eyes. I think I see the future. I realize This is my last chance. He took my heart We took the floor Just keep your eyes on me I send you holding back he said Just keep your eyes on me He said This boy is my destiny Thank you, thank you so much Thank you. Thank you. That was a huge risk for them. Yeah Thank you. Did you see my knees? Thank you. It was so intimidating. Do you think her voice has got like Dolly Parton II? Yeah So you guys didn't notice any mistakes no nothing it's sounding really good I'm still my knees are still wobbly
