Ada Filppa Showcases A NEVER-Before-Seen Talent! | Auditions | AGT 2024 

Well the editing team gets a gold star for that drastic build up

What an absolute champ. Subjecting yourself intentionally to mockery and bullying as a means of building resilience… wow wow wow.

"She's a maniac" the best song ever.

when contestants say i've won first prize, i am number one, i've been practicing for many years... etc. and fail to perform on stage -- that's a bummer!

Amazing 💕 it's astonishing how many adults are here bullying her about her hobby & looks. Keep up the good work and don't let the negative comments stop you💗

Does anyone tend to think Simon was brutal when he said no. I mean when he say neigh I burst out laughing to that!🤣

I have never been so let down 😂😂

Editing did her dirty, I think it would have been better to have little explainer about hobby horsing and not use simple surprise from real horse to hobby horse, which lessened the value of this sport. Nevertheless Ada did good to get this sport some more exposure, too bad she said she is the world champion and failed in the end

She has a RU-vid page and she's won championships!! Totally new to me!!

Taking horsing around to the next level!

It's a real competition, they have them in the US too. Just not really right for AGT but she did great at introducing it.

In Finland we have this saying ”Who has happiness should hide it.”

You did great Ada! Maybe it's still to early that the world understands it. But it's awesome that you are such brave to show it to the world!

This is just so comic😭👍 and the judges didn't even take her seriosly at first😔👍 but go Finland😍😝🥳

This is an actual thing that some people do. They ride around on fake horses doing "stunts" that an actual horse would do. I think the judges would have put a group playing Quidditch through than this.

I don't like the act but I like her attitude.

Sofia 😂🤣🤣🤣.." .a pretty girl doing this nonsense" I'm dying!🤣

The look on Simon's face😅😅😅

i thought it was gonna be a real horse or pony

I got a good laugh 😂😂😂.

This might’ve been unique but it wasn’t a million dollar act

As a hobby horser, this make me happy!

never heard of a hobby horse competition until howie mentioned it.

Howie hobby horses in his free time

what a weird night 😅

I found her youtube channel... She's extremely fast and agile. I think her issue with this audition was: She had the bars too high.. And people aren't accustomed to this type of sportsmanship... If she would have showed her speed and agility. It would have excited the crowd. And then maybe at the end she could have done a high bar? She started off at the highest level with the hardest ones to jump. And got nervous.. looked slow and unprepared

I don’t care the performance. I gave 👍🏼👍🏼 for the idea of making that a competition.

Sometimes you see something stupid and think, well hope I never see that again.

She knocked over the bar and they should’ve buzzed. They should buzz when mistakes happen in the act

poor Ada was so nervous. They would have said no anyhow. I like it. :)

Simon said "no" in swedish when he should say it in finnish.😂😂😂 Hyvä Ada! Nuo on vaa liian typeriä ymmärtääkseen 😇 vois tulla nuo hienikset käymään Suomessa

I do hobby horsing myself and I was so excited to see her doing it because I’ve never seen anyone do it on agt so I got so excited I think that hobby horsing isn’t really the performance they look for though it’s just not something the judges were looking for and Ada took it very well she was accepted the fact she didn’t make it which I love about her I’m glad she came out and introduced it to people who didn’t know about it

I’m with the no’s. It was just too weird.

Simon was going to say: nej?? Wrong country 😂👍

Why are they so mean to her I’m so happy and grateful that she does that

I'm glad they showed the story before rather than jumping right into the act

I looovvveee it!!!!!

Oh wow at least she tried 😊 keep going young lady!

she’s 22?!

I loved it. So original, and so much fun. 🥰

When I first found out about this hobby a couple of years ago I thought it was silly. I still think it's silly (as an adult woman) but horse crazy kids and early teens absolutely love this hobby/sport. Kids which hobbied this and developed it being a gymnastic sport like Ada still hobby this as an adult. They have serious competitions with it. There is also a big market for the hobby horse heads. People get to craft and tune their horse heads and some horse heads are collectible. These young women don't care if they get bullied a lot in schools and social media having this unusual hobby they are proud having their own girly thing and community. This has became a phenomenon in Finland (where this gymnastic hobby was invented and developed) and other nordic countries and it has already spread in Europe and it's taking some place in US too now after years. So I think Simon Cowell did a big mistake not voting Yes. Adults don't necessary get this but young girls do. So after all this is not silly when thinking about the business.

Yes this a real thing. She is number 1 in the world. And they said no to her after they told her to audition and filmed her for the sole purpose of making your head turn.

I’m gonna say neigh but I looove her

YIKES

Song was def appropriate for the act

Just the look on Simon's face said it all!

How do such contestants even make it up on stage ? No QC prior ?

This is awesome 😂

She is FINNISH! I am proud!

I was expecting a pony to trot on stage

I thought I was at the Kentucky Derby, but there were no horses here😂

Why so many bad acts this year? Even if she didn't mess up this would not have been any good😂

Adasta pitäisi tehdä pronssinen ratsastajapatsas Kiasman eteen Mannerheimin viereen, koska hän valloitti maailman. 🎉

Horses look so graceful when they clear these bars.

They could have been more respectful about it but I don’t blame most of the judges for saying no

Back in the day this would have gotten at least two Xs

See you in Finland next year

Remember Sarah? from Finnland? Where the Santa Claus lives? 😂

Had me in the first half ngl

still a great one for the old 2x speed lol

Thank you ❤

First song choice 👌🏽 Maniac 🎶

If she gives me her confidence I will be a king in the moon.

Love her & her act!

This is great ❤❤❤

If you go to Scandinavian its a popular sport. Most of the children desired to have that horse. Children love to play with it as a real horse. In Sweden 🇸🇪 we called it käpphäst or Hobbyhorse in English meaning😁 Scandinavian people are love sports, animal (Pet)and nature’s lover. What she said is true we did a competition of käpphäst in a different level from children to adult. Its fun to play with it, a good training to the horse lover.😁

She better go play this with her lil friends.😂😂😂

Finns: SUOMI MAINITTU! TORILLE! 🇫🇮

Am with the judges. I dont know where am living (Trinidad) but i never knew this sport existed. 😮😮😮

hahahahahaha simon has a very nice way to suprise people. She thought Simon was praising her until her mouth shut

At least she's happy anyway 🎉🎉

Oh my ..

Reminded me of Romper Room TV series in the early 60's when I was a kid...

Never felt more proud as a finn🫣🥴

i feel sorry for her just a bit maybe this is not the show for such act

I used to have one of these as a kid 😅

WHAT?? No golden buzzer??

Now i cant wait for the HOT-DOG-ON-A-STICK hurdles champion!!🤣😂

Pretty girl doing nonsense is personal 😂😂😂

I’m with Simon, Heidi & Sofia. It doesn’t match the AGT requirements to go further

Sofia is so sweet and honest in her judging 😂😂😂 it's something different, that's for sure. Can't believe she flew to America for that, funny! 😂😂😂😂

Sofia was harsh with this one. To say "nonsense" is very disrespectful.

Sophia cracks me up,lol

...and now we know why the Finns are the happiest people on earth! 😅

I don’t think people reality how hard it is to jump that high with a stick between your legs. I mean those poles are waistlevel.

I genuinely expected her bringing a real horse 😂😂

You have GOT to be freakin' kidding me !!😵‍💫

People do not seem to understand that this was scripted, why else would they have had a film group in Finland for someone who was turned down? It is a weird hobby, yes, but not an easy one. I raise my hat for her sense of humour :)

This kinda reminds me of someone just beginning to learn how to do hurdles.

This is a serious sport in Finland!

*Sophia....!* 😂😂😂

Coming from Finland to show this act. I think it's not worth it.

It's a NEIGH from me too!

yeeehaw! 🐎

😂😂😂 Sofia😂😂😂

It looks like Tina Belcher and Jericho have some competition.

I saw these “competitions” on Inside Edition and thought they we’re stupid lol

Why would someone go to that expense and time, to embarrass themselves on a world stage?

😂 No golden buzzer?! Come on!!

You say this is weird, what about people running after a ball then...
