Ben Lapidus achieved a rare feat on the 2022 America’s Got Talent. He got selected for the next round despite getting four Xs from the judges. Here is his story.
“I always want more Parmesan, but I’m embarrassed” is what the crowds and the judges were singing along with Ben when he was initially rejected by the four judges in AGT.
The insanely catchy song really got over the judges and the people in the arena. It made Simon Cowell take the X away, who was followed by Heidi Clum and Sofia Vergara in taking Lapidus through to the next round.
