Phillip Lewis Brings the BEST Baton Simon Cowell Has Ever Seen! | Auditions | AGT 2024

[@kingofthedotx9297]

This is my older brother. Y’all have not see the hours this man has put in to perfect his craft and what’s even more impressive is that HE SELF TAUGHT HIMSELF how to do this

[@linedanzer4302]

He's really really good! All of that practice paid off. Good on you for supporting your brother!

[@randyreardon358]

Your brother is amazing. 40 years ago when I was in high school at Reidsville High School; there was no one for me to take lessons from on this level. There once was sisters from South East Bullock who were all very good twirlers, but I can’t remember her name. Good on your brother for practicing his art; showing up and showing out, and not letting anyone overshadow his dreams

[@MurderBong]

- YOU ARE WHAT PEOPLE USED TO CALL ONE OF THE COOL GAYS. (COMPLEMENT😊 LIKE ROB HALFORD COOL AND NOT LIKE THE CRAZY VEGAN ON PIERS MORGAN 😅) … YOU MANNED UP TO DO A ‘WOMANS SPORT’, AS A MAN, SHOWCASING A POSSIBLE NEW SPORT CLASS FOR THE OLYMPICS, A MORE POWERED VERSION OF BATON. ALSO, NO FLAG WAVING AGENDA, YOU DID YOUR THING AND POWED BY GLAZED DOUGHNUTS 😂 THAT’S COOL, MAN! WHOA… YOU SHOULD DO A FLAMING (PUN INTENDED) BATON TO SOME JUDAS PRIEST NEXT TIME! FROM : WHAT YOU GUYS CALL ONE OF THE COOL STRAIT GUYS 😂

[@messengerofchristjesus4236]

Wow really amazing he is very good

[@lunamelody2025]

He's a master at this! Tell him to keep up the great work and he's going to set the bar high for baton artists.

[@ajmoarefdoust5012]

I was Phil’s manager! This man is amazing! Working full time, in school, dancing, and practicing baton. Man is a MACHINE!

[@Mahe-qh3xv]

He's fantastic. The man has got some mad skills.

[@victoriagoingforit6183]

I used to be a baton twirler in high school and I practice for years and I never got this good. He was incredible. It was always so embarrassing when I would drop the baton and he did not drop it once. Amazing. He sounds like an incredible person. Glad he's going to school. Good things in store for him.

[@tinydancer36]

Such an incredible role model! God bless him!
