Bodybuilding Masseuse Wows ‘AGT’ Judges With Incredible Voice

The America’s Got Talent auditions came to an end Tuesday night, and one of the last acts to move on to the next round was RL Bell. The 50-year-old massage therapist surprised the judges with his silky-smooth voice as he sang Billy Paul’s hit, “Me and Mrs. Jones.” Not only didBell have a strong set of pipes, he had a strong everything else — he used to be a bodybuilder. In the middle of the song, Bell took off his jacket, revealing his massive biceps.

Even though RL was clearly talented, the judges had mixed feelings about whether or not to send him to the next round. Heidi Klum and Mel B. both really liked the bodybuilding massage therapist, but Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel thought his mini-striptease was too much. Ultimately, Simon thought there was enough potential in Bell’s voice that he gave him a third “yes,” which sent him on to the next round.

America’s Got Talent airs Tuesday & Wednesday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
