Welcomeback for the second night in a row where Jerry looks entirely too excitedto announce the next 10 contestants. Now, there were some questionson Tuesday as to whether Hoff was drunk or not. My theory is, how couldn’the be? It’s probably the only way he could have made it through thatshow. But last night, we had 10 more, and I had high hopes for the newcrop of talent. But first, the results from Tuesday! Four of the winnerswere chosen by the audience, and one was chosen by the judges. The choices were pretty obvious, and even though I was glad the judges chose James Gang over Elite, it should be known, again,that AGT makes little girls cry. But of course, we needed an emotionalstart because who knows if we’ll get another moment like that inthe next hour and 45 minutes?
So now,the next 10, all of them suffering from crippling mediocrity. BeyondBelief Dance Company would have been better if I weren’t so obsessedwith America’s Best Dance Crew. My standards are higher now, and I’mpretty sure these guys wouldn’t have passed Shane Sparks’ criticisms.They barely survived Piers’, who looked as if he was about to losehis mind at any moment. ZOOperstars! entertained a bit as well, but they killed theirown act by claiming the only reason Piers didn’t like them was becausehe was British. Hoff seconded this sentiment, telling them not to listento his critiques because he isn’t even American. Because people fromother countries clearly don’t know anything about talent. I mean,look at Germany, right Hoff?
Jerry introduced Jonathan Arons (see clip below) as "a man doingbizarre things with a trombone," making me wonder if we’ve somehowbacktracked to his other show. You couldn’t even hear his tromboneover the canned horns of "Let’s Groove Tonight" and "September",but the boy could dance. Piers described him as "one sandwich shortof a picnic." I couldn’t have described that act better myself.And after Daniel Jens, Piers just wantedthe Slippery Kittens (can you even say that on television?), the all-momburlesque group, to put their clothes back on. But it’s probably becausehe’s British.
After George the Giant chained himself up and got himself beaten up bychildren (you heard me), we finally had Queen Emily. (Watch her performance below.) I actually yelled"yes!" when they announced her name. I needed some good soul aftertonight. She belted "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough," and blew everyother act out of the water. Okay, so they saved the talent (not tomention the only person performing on key) for last. Point to you, AGT.
So did youthink tonight’s crop was better than Tuesdays? Are Americans better atjudging talent than the Brits? And how long before Piers Morgan justcracks?
I’m sorry, but no one from last night’s show had talent, nor deserve to be in the Top 40 or move on to the Top 20. At least the ZOOperstars were funny and BBDC were entertaining so the whole show didn’t feel like a waste of time.
Emily is overrated!! She couldn’t even hit the high notes. The only one worth voting for last night were the Zooperstars. America’s Best Dance Crew — loved the talent and Super Crew were FANTASTIC!!!
Jaya – can you write the review on next season’s America’s Best Dance Crew? That show blows Dancing With the Stars!!
Hoff needs to get clean and sober if he is going to be allowed to judge anything.
i must say, i am embaressed to claim the trombone as my instrument.
From the first night this week, I loved Jessica Price’s rendition of “Time After Time.” I am so happy that she is moving on. Also, I was sad that the little girl, Elite, was sent home. It was so nice of The James Gang to lift her up and walk towards the audience to a rousing ovation. She is a cutie pie and I wish her the best. I’m super happy that Donald Braswell is back. This is a really great competition – I’m rooting for the beautiful and talented Jessica to win it all.
My hats off to the James Gang, they had so much class to pick up Alex and carry her aroung and make her last moment on that stage more important than them passing to the next round. To Alex, you are such a brave girl, I watched you struggle to keep smiling as they put you through that. Keep smiling your turn will come.
The great thing about the Zooperstars is that they keep Depends in business, cause Hasselhoff wet his pants numerous times during their appearance.
Yes David, the Wrong family has those Partridge Family Values. Maybe they will turn out like me. A psycho junkie, who has sex with trannies, gets arrested and needs rehab for my alcohol problem.
I thought the Zooperstars were terrible, until they ate that guy. I was not expecting that.
yes, you can say “Slippery Kittens” in reference to a burlesque act, but you can’t say “Wet Pvssies”.
The slippery kittens aren’t even talented enough to be vegas show girls. Pamela Anderson’s mom. Maybe he thinks that’s a complement but that would make imlpant, tatooed, botox woman about 60. I didn’t know they had trailer parks in Utah.
I thought George was funny as could be. The judges are too stupid to appreciate sarcasm.
If I had to invest my own money in an act – it would definitely be the Zooperstars.
From their “hearfelt” backstory (something about inflatable mascots and maudlin music is just funny), their trainwreck of an act and seeing them moon the Brits when they’re being criticized. Fun for the whole family. Check out the clip on YouTube.
Queen Emily looks like she swallowed Dianna Ross and all the rest of the Supremes. She started out O.K. but must have seen some fried chicken, as she lost it towards the end.
