Quintavious Johnson sings 'I'm Going Down' on America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12 (VIDEO)

Quintavious Johnson sang 'I'm Going Down' on the America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12.

Quintavious sings the Mary J. Blige version of Rose Royce's 'I'm Going Down' and this is absolutely killer. I swear, this kid just slays every freakin' song he picks. And that's what I love about Quintavious. He stays in his wheelhouse, but he's never boring when he stays there. He sings a lot of the same kinds of soul songs, but he always nails them, showing more grit and passion and connection to the music than many singers twice his age. Sure, some of the runs don't exactly land, but damn, I could watch this kid perform all day. Quintavious is going places. Oh, and make that another standing ovation for tonight from the judges. I think Christian and David and Leeman are the only acts not to get one so far.

Howard feels Quintavious is an incredible talent, and Heidi agrees. Mel B, meanwhile, thinks Quintavious "could very easily win" this entire competition, and I can't really disagree with her there. I mean, sure, Emily West might be the better singer, but she's been doing it way longer. If Quintavious is this good NOW, imagine how good he's going to be in ten years' time? Howie declares that Quintavious is not going down, he's "moving on up to the finals." As well he should.

Nick says he's humbled by Quintavious shouting him out in the pre-performance video, but notes that Quintavious is way better than he is. He asks where Quintavious even gets it from, and he says it's a God given talent that comes from deep inside. I love this guy.
