Alla and Daniel is the mother/son dance duo who auditioned on America’s Got Talent. Before their performance, AGT judge Simon Cowell kidded and asked Daniel if they were married. When Daniel explained Alla is his mother, Cowell prodded, “Did your mom force you into this?” to which Daniel said quickly, “I forced her.” They proceeded to dance to the Maroon 5 song, “Moves Like Jagger.”
