From the Dancing with the Stars ballroom to the America's Got Talent stage, Travis Garland just stepped into the spotlight for his own solo performance. And while he absolutely nailed Aerosmith's "Dream On," for his audition song, the feedback he received from the AGT judges wasn't exactly 10's across the board.
Garland, who's been a singer for the ballroom dance competition show for several years, introduced himself and mentioned he's a singer on DWTS while sharing his music background during his audition that aired Tuesday night.
"I currently sing on a show called Dancing with the Stars," the Texas native said.
Immediately recognized by judge and Spice Girls icon Mel B, she said, "Are you the singer with the really incredible powerful voice that I've heard?" to which he replied, "I hope so Mel, I hope that's me."
"I'm really grateful to get to work on the show, it's an awesome show but ultimately I want to be out here I want to be center stage," he added.
Launching into his song, Garland seemingly nailed it, even perfectly executing Steven Tyler's famed high note in the 1973 hit that absolutely wowed the crowd, including Mel B.
"That is how you sing that song, brother," she said.
However the other judges had some notes.
"You have an incredible talent, you have an incredible voice, for me it was so theatrical, you taking off the glasses, and throwing the glasses, it was a little shmaltzy," Howie Mandel said. "I think today you gotta live real and authentically [and] not worry about how you look."
"I love you, I think your voice is amazing," fellow judge Sofia Vergara said. "But I did wish that you had picked another song, but your voice is spectacular."

"I can understand what put Howie off," Simon Cowell chimed in. "Having said that there's not a question you can sing. Personally, I would have spent more time working on a more interesting arrangement of that song where we could have gone, 'I've never heard that song sung in that way before.'"
When it came to the decision for Garland to advance to the next round though, Mel B, Vergara, and Cowell all agreed that the singer should continue in the process, while Mandell was the only one to say, 'No.'
Ending on an encouraging note from the Modern Family actress, she said, "I am going to say 'Yes' because I want to give you the opportunity to come with something more you, because I think I want to hear your voice again." America's Got Talent airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock. ?
