If you were surprised to see him make it past the first audition (see clip above), then you're probably stunned now.

During day three in Las Vegas, the America's Got Talent judges continued to choose the lucky performers to round out the 48 contestants moving on with the competition, and when Big Barry came out, people assumed it was his last moment onstage.

Well, you know what they say about assuming.

To the surprise of many, the 4' 10" singer had enough stage presence (and we say this loosely) to convince at least Howie Mandel that he's worth moving on with the competition.

So, whether you like it or not, you'll be seeing Big Barry in New York.

But starting next week, the contestants' fates are up to the viewers' votes—do you think he'll make it through? Sound off in the comments!
