Steven Retchless started his America’s Got Talent audition last night by boasting of his professional dance status.

The 24 year old hottie explained that he has been trained in ballet, tap, hip hop, modern and jazz dancing and has been practising since he was eight years old. He talked about ‘transcending’ and lots of other pretentious stuff, so naturally we were expecting great things. In fact we were wondering why he hadn’t just bitten the bullet and entered for So You Think You Can dance instead.

We were a little shocked then, when Steven took to the stage and started to pole dance for the judges. He was dressed in just a VERY tight pair of silver pants and black stilettos and had sprayed his lithe body with a metallic paint to match.

After telling Howie Mandell that he is a ‘polefessional,’ the New York native proved that he is very adept with his pole, by swinging, gyrating, wiggling and falling in a more agile way than we would have thought was possible.

Piers Morgan was less than impressed and buzzed as Steven climbed higher and higher. Always horny, Sharon Osbourne was more appreciative though and afterwards exclaimed:

You should be called Steve the magnificent. You are all things to everyone. I think that you are quite androgynous and everyone will fall in love with you….man, woman.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think of America’s Got Talent’s first ever ‘polefessional.’
