Last night on America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 5 we saw singers Bri and Lawrence Beaman.
Hasselhoff is wearing a cowboy hat because they’re in Texas. It doesn’t work.
Speaking of cowboys, the Texas Tenors are there to sing. They formed a group because they heard America’s Got Talent was coming to town. They’ve been together for three whole months. Between the three of them, they have one real job. They sing Mountain Music by Alabama. Good considering they’re a new group, but there’s no risk of them winning. Hoff thought they did a very good job. Sharon can see it’s very raw. Piers is pleasantly surprised.
Bruce Thomas says he’s a musician. He believes he’s the only one in the world who does what he does, which usually means it should stay that way. He makes harmonious sounds with his hands. Well, that was stupid.
Acrodunk is a group of acrobatic slam dunkers. Although their families want them to get real jobs, they believe they can make a living doing this instead. Hasselhoff says they’re by far the best dunkers. Piers enjoyed the energy and fantastic dunking. The unfortunate reality for Acrodunk is that they won’t win. They are repeat performers on America’s Got Talent who were here on season 1 but eliminated by the viewers’ vote.
Eleisha Miller is an 8 year old singer and keyboard player. She sings and plays Proud Mary. The keyboard playing’s better than the singing. Hoff says the singing needs a little work. Eleisha agrees. Sharon says no, but the other two judges let her through despite their reservations.
Jamar and Lamar Jefferson are R&B act Timez 2. We get two for the price of one. Nick expects a train wreck or brilliant. It’s closer to the former than the latter, but it’s probably enough to continue. Hasselhoff likes their raw talent and energy. Piers says they were quite good. Sharon wants them to spend more time working on their vocals than their grinding. Hoff says yes. Piers says no. Sharon says yes to put them through to the next round.
Unlike American Idol, there’s no age restriction, which is good news for 75 year old Grandma Lee (so is that a real name or like a nickname?). She’s a comedian. Sharon loves the material and the timing. Piers says she may be his favorite contestant season, to which she responds he’s cute and she’d do him.
Stay-at-home mom Barbara Padilla is originally from Guadalajara, Mexico. She’s dusting off her lifelong dream to be a singer. Every year an opera singer comes along and blows people away, and here’s this year’s example. Her singing has given her inspiration to fight through cancer, and now her new dream comes true as she sails through to Vegas.
