Full Recap

As the auditions continue, half of the amount of acts made it through this week compared to last. Only eight were lucky enough to make it the Vegas callbacks.

The first act to make it through was a yodeling dominatrix named Manuela Horn. The audience and the judges were not sure if what to think of Manuela because of the outfit and then the yodeling. Maybe she lost a bet. If she sticks to the comedic portion of her act, she might make it past the Vegas callbacks, but odds are not in her favor. All three judges voted her through to the next rounds. Piers thought she was very entertaining.

Next up are The Comic-Bots, a dancing robot band. There were people holding radio controllers while other people were in the heavy robot costumes pretending to be radio controlled. They are unique and original, but not energetic, which is ok being as robots aren’t supposed to be full of energy. Piers thought it was the weirdest thing that he has ever seen.

The third act to make it through was Tom Durnin, a dancing magician. He started off by doing a magic trick with rope and then busted out dancing to “I Like Big Butts” by Sir Mix-A-Lot. He started spitting small balls out of his mouth and sticking them to his glasses. the judges loved him and he was on to Vegas.

The fourth act to pass is G-Force, an all-girl child rock band. They were your typical rock band. Not too good and not too bad. America’s Got Talent has only seen a small number of bands to date and odds are they won’t make it past Vegas.

Erik & Rickie, a pair of eight year old dancers, passed through with all yeses from the judges. They’ve been dancing together for four years. They performed to “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner. Sharon thought they did really great and David thought they did a terrific job. They need to step it up in the Vegas callbacks if they have a shot at making the top 24.

Next up is Drew Thomas, a magician. He also passed through will all yeses from the judges. He had great skill and captivity as he made women appear from out of a box and under sheets. He kept the audience and judges entertained and fascinated at the same time. Sharon thought he was the best illusionist that she’d ever seen and Piers thought he had a serious chance of winning. David was excited about finally have a magician on the show with the potential of winning a million dollars. He has a lot of potential to make it through Vegas week and on to the next round.

The seventh act to move on were Alizma, a trio of blonde violinists. The women had more talent with the violin, than they did with their voices, although David Hasselhoff didn’t think so. They performed to “Devil Went Down To Georgia” by The Charlie Daniels Band. They need to step in up in order to make it through Vegas.

The final act, a young dancer named Arcadian Broad, passed through with a yes from every judge. He showed great skill with his ballet-style dancing, but other parts were forgettable. David and Piers both thought he was great and Sharon thought he had magnificent talent.
