Tuesday night's America's Got Talent had the first twelve acts perform to go on to the top ten. Five acts will be announced on Wednesday's show. Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne and Howie Mandel were there to give opinions to the acts. Nick Cannon is the host of the show and interviews each act after their performance. The acts performing tonight were:
Alice Tan Ridley...Singer from New York City. She has a wonderful and very powerful voice. All the judges liked her performance but for me since she sang a Whitney Houston song that I love, she didn't do it justice. I feel if you are going to sing a song that a famous singer is known for, then either sing it exactly the same, or, completely different, she mixed it up.
Haspop...Body Popper from Los Angeles by way of France. He has a very entertaining act, one that I believe people would pay to see in Vegas. Piers buzzed him, I don't know why except that Piers likes to buzz people.
Maestro Alexander Bui...16 yr. old Pianist from New Jersey. Howie buzzed him and the audience booed Howie, Howie booed them back. Piers said he was brilliant, Sharon said he was exciting. I think this young man lives up to his Maestro name, he is excellent and I don't even care for the piano.
Michael and Ashleigh...Ariel Artists from Los Angeles. They had a beautiful set of clouds, their act was, to me, very common, nothing special at all. But, the judges all loved them.
Michael Grasso...Magician from New Jersey. I will never ever see a Magician better than this man. Words can't describe his act or how he could ever do what he does. Perfect! Sharon was speechless, Howie said he was sensational and Piers called him a world class act.
Debra Roamer...Singer from Michigan. All three judges gave her a so so critique. I'm not sure why she has made it this far, her voice is very weak, she would make a good lounge singer though.
Studio One Young Beast Society...Dance group from Orlando. All the judges liked their act. I thought they had a few really exciting moves, but only a few.
Jeremy VanSchoonhoven...Bicycle Dare Devil from Oregon. Jeremy hurt himself in a bad fall during rehearsal and had to go to the hospital, but he came on anyway. He fell at the beginning of his act but just a little fall, he continued on and it was scary to watch, he does incredible things with his bike. After the act was finished you could tell he was in pain. He received a standing ovation from the audience. Sharon told him that Evil Kenevil (sp) has nothing on him. Piers said the was very gutsy for doing this act after the accident in rehearsal.
Nathanial Kenyon...Singer from Georgia. He has a very special voice that I like, he is awfully cute too. Piers buzzed him saying he's popular with the girls because he's so cute but that his act is not on par with the other great singers on the show. Sharon said he's come a long way.
Murray...Magician from Las Vegas. His previous acts were amazing, sorry to say this performance was pretty lame, really sorry to say that but it was. He made a huge metal train disappear but the presentation was not good at all.
Jackie Evancho...10 yr. old Opera singer from Pennsylvania. Future Superstar aka Maria Callas! 10 yrs old with the voice of a 40 yr old opera singer, simply amazing! She of course wowed all the judges and the entire audience. I just hope her age doesn't hinder her advancement on this show. Even if it does, this little one has the biggest brightest future ahead of her. Ok, now I will tell you something I noticed while she was singing. The last 2-3 seconds of her song, her voice spiked! But, she noticed right away, and guess what she did? She cut that song off immediately, now that's a star! (but she did have a funny little look on her face before she cut off the song). Did anyone else notice this?
Fighting Gravity...Blue Men type act, there is no name for this act that I have heard of. From Virginia. This performance was the best out of all their previous performances which were all fantastic. They really added a lot more to this act. They are extremely exciting to watch and will do well in Las Vegas no doubt. Howie said they were is favorite act and they are headliners. Sharon said they were so cool and their act is for all age groups. Piers said with each performance they get bigger and better and that they are a world class act.
My picks to go on to the top ten are:
Fighting Gravity
Jackie Evancho
Maestro Alexander Bui
Michael Grasso
Haspop
