Funkanometry, which was formed by Jacksun Fryer and Carlow Rush, advanced to the CGT finale with a performance that impressed the judges on Tuesday, May 8.
“I think you are the act that I want to see over and over and over again,” judge Lilly Singh said.
“You guys are dancers, you are storytellers, you are comedians, you are performers, and, in my opinion, you are exactly what our million-dollar season needed,” added judge Trish Stratus.
