Things got just a little awkward on the latest episode of "America's Got Talent." While the fifth audition show started out pretty normally, the night turned personal really fast when 20-year-old singer Joseph O'Brien walked on stage. After briefly introducing himself, O'Brien announced that he came to the show alone, which prompted Heidi Klum to inquire about his relationship status. The young contestant then revealed that he wasn't very experienced with dating."I don鈥檛 have a girlfriend," the 20-year-old singer said. 鈥淚鈥檝e actually been single my entire life. I鈥檝e actually never gone on a legit date or anything.鈥滾ooking stunned, Klum pressed O'Brien further and then asked him if he's ever "snogged anyone" (which Mel B quickly verified means kissed). 鈥淣o, I haven鈥檛,鈥� O'Brien explained. 鈥淣o kissing, no. It鈥檚 not happened.鈥漈he exchange caused the crowd to let out a collective "aw." Klum then offered encouragement and told him "It's going to happen!"O'Brien went on to crush his rendition of Lionel Richie's "Hello" and was sent through to the next round. But despite his incredible audition, Klum's line of questioning before he began singing seemed to really bother some viewers. "Poor kid getting the third degree because of his relationship status. Maybe he's not looking for a partner, maybe he's happy with the life the way it is," one person wrote on Facebook.And others on Twitter agreed: Still, for the most part, many viewers thought Klum's "snogged" comment was all in the name of good fun:And then there were some who didn't care about Klum's questions at all and were more concerned about trying to score a first date with the talented performer:Reactions and relationship status aside, fans think if O'Brien's next performance is anything like this one, there's no question he'll go far in the competition.
