Audition

Before Keiichiro Tani, his drone entered the stage, Simon Cowell mentioned it as a “spectacular entrance.” Everyone was excited about Tani’s performance. First, he caught a marshmallow throne by the drone in his mouth. Then he tried to hang a T-shirt on the rail several times, but he failed to do so, which made his act the longest in history with the drone tricks.  Alesha Dixon pressed the red buzzer first; after that, Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, and finally  Amanda Holden pressed the red buzzer.
