Christian Stoinev performs on America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12 (VIDEO)

Christian Stoinev and Scooby performed on the America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12.

The performance opens with a music video in which Scooby is on the run from law enforcement. He's wanted for the crime of "Attempting to Steal the Show," which is a clever way of taking the criticism last week and showing good humor about it. Scooby opens things by balancing on a golden basketball, before Christian transitions to doing some extreme hand balancing on a pedestal atop the stage. Some of his movements are insane, and are making my muscles ache just to watch. He almost looks like he's going to fall, but it appears to be part of the act. Christian finishes with an acrobatic back flip off the top of the pedestal, landing perfectly. A terrific performance. That said, the choice of 'Latch' as the music for this was an odd, slightly jarring choice.

Howie and Mel B are high on Christian, with Mel B in particular calling this one of his best performances. Heidi, meanwhile, feels as though there's still a lack of balance between the dog and the hand balancing. Howard, however, disagrees completely, calling Christian a "smart entertainer" who knows how to take criticism and grow from it. Howard reiterates that he never means criticism negatively, but rather to help contestants, and Christian can hold his head high knowing he did his very best. I'm not sure if this is an act that's going to go any further, but this really was a killer performance.

In his interview with Nick, Christian tears up saying that while he's love the chance to continue on to the finals, he doesn't take any of these moments for granted. I think Christian's likability is as responsible for his advancement as Scooby, honestly.
