Brian Justin Crum Felt It "In the Air Tonight" on AGT

America"s Got Talent viewers will not have an easy decision to make this summer, that much is certain.


On Tuesday night, we were treated to the latest round of live quarterfinal auditions, with multiple acts leaving their impressive marks.


There was Grace VanderWaal, for example, who had Howie Mandel tell her that she"ll be bigger than Taylor Swift.



Then there was Linkin Bridge, a quartet of artists from Kentucky whose beautiful performance captured the hearts of the nation.


We"re not really exaggerating. Watch them in action here:



And now it"s Brian Justin Crum"s turn to shine.


The singer, who first drew praise on the show for his versions of “Somebody To Love.” and “Creep” took on the Phil Collins classic “In the Air Tonight” on Tuesday.


And he totally nailed it!



“You had the whole theater on their feet, Brian,” Simon Cowell told the aspiring singer afterward.


“You have that ability, that is rare, that you take a song and you can turn it into your version. You’ve done that three times in a row. You’re getting better and better


Heidi Klum strongly agreed: “Love, love, love, love! Best performance, for me, of the night, I have to say. This is your moment, right here, right now, and you just showed that to America."


So did Mel B: "You just get hotter and hotter and hotter as time goes on. You as a performer is so seasoned and professional already. You owned that stage. You owned that entire theater.”


And, finally, Mandel simply said that Crum was "epic."



Epic enough to win the entire thing?


Check out his latest audition and see if you think he has what it takes.

Brian Justin Crum: Somebody to Love on America"s Got Talent!

Brian Justin Crum just gave America"s Got Talent viewers somebody to love.


Big time.



The 28-year-old contestant appeared on this NBC stage on Tuesday night and explained how he has wanted to be a singer all his life.


However, his difficult past included battles as a child with bullies bullied over his weight and his sexuality (the singer is gay).


But Crum has found a way to channel these struggles into something beauty, pour out all his emotions into Queen’s “Somebody To Love" and receiving a standing ovation in the process.


Said Howie Mandel after the aspiring star finished his impressive cover:


“The song is can anybody find you somebody to love. I think tonight you found everybody to love you.”


Melanie B then jumped in with the following praise:


"Brian, you took us to church and back. If I wasn’t married and you were straight, we would be in love."



Those judges aren"t typically very tough on contestants, however.


What about Simon Cowell?!?


“The truth is, you are a fantastic singer," he said. "This is why these shows exist, to give people like you with huge talent an opportunity."


Crum was passed on to the next round, of course, although the panelists were all out of Golden Buzzers.


Over the past few weeks, they"ve been used on Laura Bretan (courtesy of Melanie)… Grace VanderWaal (courtesy of Howie)… Sal Valentinetti (courtesy of Klum)… and Calysta Bevier (courtesy of Cowell).


Check out Crum"s full performance now:


So there you have it!
