America's got talent: Pakistani moves

A 23 year old Pakistani lad named Kashif Memon made his way into the Chicago auditions for America's got talent. 'What is your act?' asked one of the judges and he says ' I am going to perform on the bollywood music, like dancing'. Does he think his talent is worth the million dollars (The prize money for America's got talent winner)? His humble answer, "Yes, if everybody love my dance"!

So here goes this innocent looking boy impersonating a Hritik Roshan on the song 'Ek pal ka jeena....' and tried hard with his moves. While the boy's moves were not outstanding, he was very entertaining, and of course props to him to have been bold enough to try performing a Bollywood song on America's got talent. It was indeed hilarious.

The judges comments varied from "you have the most incredible dance moves I have seen" to "Are there different types of dances or only one" to "I think you mesmerized the audience" and he is shooooooooo in to the Las Vegas follow-up on the show.

While I personally think that his moves do not deserve 1 million dollars or even pass this audition, the show needs some variety and he is in like a breeze. I am curious to see what he comes up with at the Las Vegas auditions. I hope he saves himself some embarassment.

Other contestants included a group of martial arts dancers who floored the judges, the audience and myself. A Boy Shakira who impersonated Shakira with his belly moves, no comments on this one.
