*On the June 5 episode of “America’s Got Talent,” 66-year-old Celina and 70-year-old Filiberto served up a bit of dirty dancing… but Spice Girl Mel B was having none of it.
According to Yahoo, the married couple are a dance duo called Ganas con Cañas, which translates roughly to “Desire With White Hair.” Celina and Filiberto even have videos on YouTube, (watch their ‘AGT’ audition video above.)
However, while this Cuban couple won over the other three judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum — with their raunchy routine, Mel reacted thoroughly repulsed.

In his “AGT” live blog, recapper John Benutty observed, “Celina and Filiberto, 66 and 70 years old respectively, fulfilled their lifelong dream tonightby dancing on the national stage together. Though we all expected them to perform a sweet waltz or something else in the ballroom genre, they instead left us shook with twerking, grinding and gyrating all over the stage. Mel was not feeling it and hit her X, saying it’s stuff that should have been done in private. But thankfully the other judges loved it as much as the audience because they achieved the minimum of three YESES needed to advance!”
The audience went wild when the dance was finished —except Mel B, who thought it was too much.
“Some things should just be done in private,” she said. “That should be private stuff. That’s private.”
Simon was quick to point out they’ve had similar performances before on AGT and accused Mel of ageism.
