Last week we saw opera singer Barbara Padilla on America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 6. Tonight the audtions continue.
Government contractor Jeffrey Widom is always humming. It appears he’s singing. Okay, so this is apparently a song by Mr. Bean. And I trust this guy with my tax dollars?
Tallan Noble Latz, age 9, is a guitar player. He’s picked up this talent on his own and has been playing for 4 years. If he wins, he’d like to have his mom quit work so he can spend more time with her. Hoff thinks he’s got a major career ahead of him. Piers’ son about the same age can just about play Three Blind Mice on a good day. Sharon says he’s got the soul and the right vibe.
Retired barber Tony Ferrante, 74 has always dreamed of making it on stage. He dances disco. If he were younger, he’d get more buzzers than just Piers, but he’ll get passed through because they’re inspired by someone his age pulling this off. Sharon was very entertained. Piers doesn’t think this is the next great act in America. Hoff felt like dancing. Unsurprisingly, Tony gets two votes, enough to go to Vegas. Then he calls Piers a little bitch.
Kelli Glover auditioned for American Idol Season 1, where America’s vote cut her after she made the top 32. She’s taken a break for 6 years, but I’m assuming she’s going to have a very strong voice, although I can’t say I remember her from before. She sings Beyonce’s Listen. Hoff thinks girls from Jersey rock. Piers is not sure she’s likely to win the show, but she’s good enough to move on to Vegas.
Pop group the Badd Girls say they’re really good girls. Their music has to be a dance track. They want to get the people in the club moving. They’ll be moving alright. Right out the door. Bad vocals, bad dancing, and a lot less hot than they think they are. Hoff found them to be like cats being squeezed.
Cy, Cheetah, and Boone (really?) are the Platt brothers, who grew up without television, which led them to create their talent. They are a variety act trained in dance, gymnastics, and theater. Piers thinks they’ve got all the tools, but now they’ve got to go away and really think about what their next move is when they go to Vegas.
A group of postal workers from Richmond, VA formed a group by accident one day at work. They are the Spiritual Harmonizers, ages 21-76, and they sing Boyz II Men’s It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday. Hoff thought that was awesome. Piers is normally bored by these kinds of acts but really enjoyed the lead singer.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 8, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC.
