Last night was busier than most as far as actual talent, as America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 7 brought us Tallan Latz, the Platt brothers, and the Spiritual Harmonizers.
Chris Kegley (aka Keg, the Lone Ranger of rock) plans to be like the great rockers of Seattle. Well, his hairstyle is lost in the 80s anyway. I… don’t get it. Why did he only get one X? Piers says he’s the Lone Ranger of rock because nobody wants to play with him. Nobody actually wants to see a one man rock band either.
Kari Callin has been singing for 40 years. Because of the way she looks, nobody believes she’s a singer, but she wants to prove it for herself. She sings Somewhere from West Side Story, and she has potential. Sharon got goose bumps. Piers thinks she has an amazing voice.
A group of students named Reality have that creepy happy song playing in the background, but that’s usually a good sign. They sing Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat from Guys and Dolls. They actually seem talented, but that arrangement just didn’t work. Sharon wants them to go to a retirement home with their routine.
Destined 2 Be are dancers from Indiana. Hoff thought the choreography was terrific. Sharon thinks they have great heart and a great future.
Rashida Jolley sings and plays harp, which she learned from her late father. She performs Killing Me Softly by Lauryn Hill. Not sure what potential the instrument choice has, but her voice is great. Although Sharon thinks she’s beautiful, sings beautifully, and plays beautifully, she’s not sure whether it all works together. Piers thought she made the harp quite sexy.
College roommates Matt and Anthony (no group name) formed a song and dance act when they finally started talking to each other a few months after they began rooming together. Matt plays guitar while Anthony tap dances. Individually, this is quite good, but I’m struggling to see how it goes together. Best tap dancing Hoff has ever seen. Piers has never seen anything quite like that before.
Piano player and singer Mia Boostrom was cut in Vegas last year. She sings Georgia on My Mind by Ray Charles. Sharon notices the increased confidence and personality. Piers thinks she’s a much better singer now, though he doesn’t know whether she’s good enough to win. Hoff still thinks she’s got a ways to go.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 9, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.
Anthony is the tap dancer, Matt is the singer/guitarist.
Thanks, I was wondering if I had that right. I was too busy trying to figure out how to spell Anthony’s last name (then I gave up).
