Duo Just Two Men brought their balancing performance to 'AGT' in an effort to enhance their families' futures

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Ukrainian hand balancers Duo Just Two Men leave no space for error! However, when they did not earn the Golden Buzzer on the most recent episode of 'America's Got Talent,' viewers believed it was a significant error on the part of the judges.

Artem and Oleg are not inexperienced acrobats when they enter the 'AGT' competition. Rather, the duo is already well-known in the circus world, having demonstrated their amazing gymnastic abilities both locally and internationally. Apart from their great adventures in the circus, Duo Just Two Men also tried to get their shot on 'Ukraine's Got Talent'. They auditioned for the said talent competition program during season three. The couple did not win the championship at the time, but they did improve their acrobatic abilities. Over a decade later, the duo Just Two Men was back in a Got Talent competition. Season 18 of 'AGT'.

'Breathtaking and dramatic'

Duo Just Two Men came to 'AGT' with their hand-balancing act, hoping to make a brighter future for their family. Heidi Klum liked the risk of their audition's lack of matting beneath their stunts, and stated that they performed movements she had never seen before. Howie Mandel described their act as "like a special effect," Sofia Vergara described it as "breathtaking and dramatic," and Simon Cowell described it as "extraordinary." Because each of the four judges wanted to see them perform again, they all said "yes" to this initial audition.

'Swear to god after seeing this if some singer or someone with just a story wins'

Seeing the duo not get a golden buzzer, fans took to Twitter to ask, "Do only music acts get the Golden Buzzer?" Another person added, "This deserves a golden buzzer." "That was a Golden Buzzer act!" read another. A fourth user tweeted, "Now that's a golden buzzer. Well done ukraine guys."

On YouTube, fans had similar concerns, "swear to god after seeing this if some singer or someone with just a story wins....... these people are literally pushing the boundaries of what is possible and risking their all." Another person chimed in, "dont u think they deserved a Golden Buzzer atleast someone could have said that.......... but again we have singers for that." Others wrote, "Only singer got golden buzzer in AGT."
