Joseph Allen rose to the occasion during his “America’s Got Talent” debut Tuesday night, grabbing a golden buzzer for his emotional performance of an original rap. And the young contestant rose even higher thanks to a fulfilled promise from host Terry Crews.
Before Allen even began to sing in front of the judges, he asked the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star if he’d pick him up, should that coveted sparkly confetti fall down on him. And Crews agreed.
Simon Cowell, Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union and Howie Mandel were all taken with Allen as soon as he came out on stage and even more so once he left his “footprint” with them via his original lyrics.
