Larger Than Life, a boy band tribute show that performs at parties, corporate events, and concerts around the U.S. appeared on “America’s Got Talent” Tuesday night. The group, who is made up of Edvin Ortega (“Orange Is The New Black”), Chris Jehnert (Lifetime’s “A Predator Returns”), Price Troche, and Dan Kiernan, were scouted out by AGT producers who have actually been asking them to appear on the NBC television show for a while now.
Larger Than Life, affectionately known as LTL to their fans, are always up for new experiences and exposure so they agreed to be on AGT and received positive feedback throughout rehearsals and the entire experience. It wasn’t until they performed on-air for judges, Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, that they realized they were being set up to be ridiculed for the sake of television.
AGT host Terry Crews cheered the group on from the sidelines while Heidi Klum lauded them for their high energy and stage presence. Of course, Simon Cowell, true to his brand, wasn’t as favorable to them, telling them to “give up”. But the joke’s on Simon — Larger Than Life has been successfully performing for crowds, even sharing the stage with members of *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, and O-Town, the latter of which they’re opening for this summer.
