You all are the reason we even have careers and can share our art in the first place. My favorite part was meeting the audience outside the auditorium and I wish I could’ve spent more time with them! I am going to start uploading on here weekly so that yall have nice performances to look forward to. I have a detailed documentary about me on my channel titled “Day in the Life of a Vegas Street Performer” and an original album titled “IMPACT” that just came out which is based on outer space. Have a wonderful day and thanks for watching ⭐️
It is funny to me that when Lindsey sterling first went on America' Got Talent they said she should either play the violin or dance, and not both. Now it's a very popular combination following her success as a TH-cam sensation despite the AGT judges' predictions and skepticism.
Seriously! He wasn’t dancing, he was moving his body. Your expectation of AGT talent would literally have millions of people (USA) moving on to the next level.
For real! Violin isn’t easy to play while moving at all. Meanwhile I try to dance and look like I’m having a seizure. His talent is out of this world 😍
He is definitely very amateurish... His tone, technique, phrasing is absolutely awful! No real discipline involved... No real creativity involved with his interpretation of song. There are literally thousands of high-schoolers that work and play so much better than him. Very little talent. Generally the majority of "violinists" that come on this sort of mainstream television show with a violin can't play the violin. Dancing is horrendous. Let alone doing that while having a cheap fiddle and bow in hand.
It was not only a really great track and performance, but his stage presence was impeccable; you could tell how much this meant to him as he put everything he had into that performance! Insane! His personality is off the charts as well!
If Simon doesn’t like what u do he won’t put u through. If he gives u advice u best take it like this young man because he knows what he’s talking about. Don’t get ur feelings hurt. Listen. He’s teaching.
He got through the audition with a second change but he got eliminated in the next round most times they don’t make the live shows been a few of them this season and other season’s after the auditions
Not only is his violinist skills incredible, but I LOVE his personality! Why is he on the street performing? He deserves a stage like this. I hope to see him in the Live shows! We better >v
I love him everything about him. His facial expression’s are everything and his stage presence is magical. He’s not afraid to be himself. I want to see what he brings to the competition. I love seeing people play instruments it’s not that common.
He's a comic too, so cute! I loved that song, it was like an Irish "Devil went down to Georgia" with a little something else? I'd listen to him all day, that music keeps you moving!
So proud of him!!! That's one of the strongest auditions I've ever seen period. He got a lot of toxicity on reddit and tiktok and twitch streams, people would come in and say "your dancing/playing is bad" and also just phobic language, feel sad for those people who can't enjoy someone having a good time!
OMG I remember listening to one of his streams on reddit and he was great, and we suggested he try out for the show. That was 2 years ago, and he actually did try out last year but didn't make it past the first audition. I'm so glad he came back! I play violin too, so I dm'ed him on reddit and we talked for a while. I'm so happy to see he's fulfilling his dream now! Keep going Alex! 👏🎻🎶

@@darrenbreeze3337 what is wrong with you. you go up on that stage and perform like he did. You won’t cause he proved himself to himself and agt. He has his way with music and everyone is different and you are just to judge cause you are a coward. He was working hard for this and you could tell. Now be quiet and watch him get farther in his life and get to his goals. Let him do his own thing. We’re support and you are just trash. AND NOBODY LIKES TRASH! Okay but shut up and don’t say things you wouldn’t want anyone to say about you. You are a child. He was entertaining and everyone loved him. You are JEALOUS. He is more creative then you and most of all HAS A BIG HEART UNLIKE YOU. Now I said my peace. Goodbye.
I've heard of other talented violinists, but to do that _and_ to have the stage presence he does? Now _that's_ talent. That is particularly true with his fast spins, because not only does he have to compensate for the inertia when playing, he may also get a bit dizzy and/or disoriented.

Being a fiddler in addition to a few additional instruments Who plays by ear as well I absolutely LOVED this performance. Spot on and well done! Not all people can paint a picture let alone tell a story. You did it very well🌹🌹
Can I check from your side at 03:23 if this sustained note is possible with that movement of the bow? I'm not a Violinist, but I always thought an uninterrupted, sustained note was create by a really long slow drag across the strings.
That was amazing & his personality is off the charts, I love him so much already❤ also flirting with Simon made my YEAR! Serious gold right there😊 I can't wait to see more in the upcoming shows!
I could watch this over and over. Alex you are a born entertainer. You are so alive and your vibes is contagious. Simon is a professional and his instinct about you is on point. Shoot for the stars buddy.
Oh. My. God! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR STAGE PRESENTS! You just glow once you get going with your performance! I can't wait to see you light up in further performances! I'll be praying for you to make it to the live performances!
In my opinion this has been an extremely incredible opportunity you have created by sharing your talents in your community I am so grateful for your support you are becoming more passionate about this project
Alex is the absolute best! Been following him since last summer and his talent continues to amaze me. He deserves a million yesses!!! I’m so proud of him! So ecstatic he’s getting the recognition he deserves!!! ❤️
I'm a fan of Travis Japan who performed on the same day. Alex's performance was fashionable and cool! My body was dancing by itself in front of the TV!
My absolute favourite instrument and you blew me away. You are insanely talented and I would love for you to win. Street performers are amazing and I am always absolutely in awe of you all. Love you my dear!
I think it’s funny how he first auditioned with a Dua Lipa song and came back with a different Dua Lipa song lol. In all seriousness, he’s very good, I want more!
I wanna see Alex and Wyn do something together ❤️. Their spirts although wildly different are sweet and HUNGRY and connected somehow I see. I really hope they both make it far and this opportunity they both made for themselves from their gifts truly changes their lives in the best way possible 🥰
Simon is smart! he knows the importance of a great performance to go viral or attract the right people just incase you win! because that's what got talent is now.. it's more than just the winning aspect its using the platform to get noticed!!
His is absolutely hilarious. Idk what he will become a star doing, but it will be something because he has so much star power. That personality is incredible. He has the goods and there for me, Is not denying he will make it to where he wants to be. It is just a question of when and who will give him the opportunity he deserves. Again, this kid really could be a comedian. “I see the audience as roots and I just suck it up, mmmm.” “My ring size is a 7, “what areeeee weee.” And those are just a few zingers that had me cackling!
Went to Vegas last year and recorded him for a bit on the strip! Absolutely loved the piece I recorded that he played! Can't believe he's on AGT! Wish you the best!!!!!!!!
I’m so happy my brother is living his dream! Such an inspiration. I watch this video everyday and it gives me the chills every time. I feel like the violin manifested itself through Alex, and if the violin had legs it would dance for its life! Haha
I'm so glad that Simon finally came to his senses and gave this amazing and talented person a second chance. Simon should do this more often before judging and all. For like in this video, he may find many more times where the second is shocking!
Simon Cowell doesn't get enough credit for pushing contestants to be their best. He is one of the greatest talent evaluators ever. Truly a gift.
Truth.
So true
Absolutely
Agree!!
Yeah except it's all scripted
Dude if this dude doesn’t make it as a violinist. He should definitely do stand up. He’s funny and sharp
Agreed!!
Bro...I laughed more with his performance than actually as a true serious musician...(which he is)
Totally agree💯. I thought he was funny as hell!!!
ABSOLUTELY………LOL!!!
This guy is an entertainer, not a musician. To be a musician takes a lot more knowledge of the music itself.
Nobody sleeps until Simon is happy! Lol! That's was a great line.
Glad yall enjoyed! ⭐️
@@AlexRiversMusic I loved it!!
That was soooo funny!
What is Simon’s talent?
@@FranciscoSanchez-cx9iz spotting potential stars and having great instinct whether the public will like or enjoy a performance.
I sincerely like Alex's personality. He has such potential to become a huge star.

Love your performance!!!
What's the name of the two songs you played?
@@libratude9595 Hi! The first one was Break My Heart - Dua Lipa and the second one was New Rules - Dua Lipa
@@LikoLovesBooks Thanks sis 😄
When are people going to understand Simon Cowell is the definition of music? When he stops an artist he sees potential in him or her
I’ve seen it a few times and he’s right for asking to hear or see something else because it’s usually better.
As an accademian professor in one of the most prestigious conservatory of all times... You made me laugh so hard. Thank you for this
@@CookingMyWay well professor I think you meant to say “controversial” I don’t think you’re meaning to store food.
@@CookingMyWay You realize no one cares about your fake credentials?
@@slevig415 😂 IGNORANT
The fact he can play the violin and dance around like crazy is so talented

@@darrenbreeze2065 Go give it a try if you can do so great! You reek of jealousy 🤮🤮🤮
As an ex violinist. I have to say hes brought back good feelings over strings.
It was not only a really great track and performance, but his stage presence was impeccable; you could tell how much this meant to him as he put everything he had into that performance! Insane! His personality is off the charts as well!
Appreciated ❤️
@@AlexRiversMusic Thanks, but I appreciate you, and your performance!
Every time Simon asks a person to stop during their performance and come back with a different track or song they nail it all time.
If Simon doesn’t like what u do he won’t put u through. If he gives u advice u best take it like this young man because he knows what he’s talking about. Don’t get ur feelings hurt. Listen. He’s teaching.

This kid is so energetic and positive. I'm looking forward to see him to become an entertainer, performer and comedian.
Alex Rivers' violin playing and dancing are so energetic!
You just love this guy.. funny.. talented and so honest
We need more of these men in this world..
Not only is his violinist skills incredible, but I LOVE his personality! Why is he on the street performing? He deserves a stage like this. I hope to see him in the Live shows! We better >v
Street is one of the better stages. Don't minimize it.
I love him everything about him. His facial expression’s are everything and his stage presence is magical. He’s not afraid to be himself. I want to see what he brings to the competition. I love seeing people play instruments it’s not that common.
Alex had my family laughing like crazy. He’s a great violin player and also a hilarious young man. Loved him.
Young gay man
She can play a violin very well.
