Last week on America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 8, we got a look at dancers Destined 2 Be, singer/harp player Rashida Jolley, college roommates Matt and Anthony, and returning singer/piano player Mia Boostrom. Tonight it’s the Myspace auditions.
El Vegas (real name Jerry Katz) is a few years older than 25 (times two). He sings American Trilogy by Elvis. Elvis is rolling over in his grave, assuming he’s actually dead. Sharon wants to know what went wrong. Hoff wanted to see what was going to happen. He still doesn’t know what happened.
High school student Ashley Groff is a singer. Well, that’s how she introduces herself anyway. Somebody twisted started a Myspace fan club for her, and she’s now got 8,000 friends who enjoy what she calls her “vocalist screamer” style. Is she like auditioning for a horror movie or something? That was not human. Hoff wants to know about the exorcist. Piers is afraid. Nick just hopes there’s a priest nearby.
Ishaara, a group of Bollywood dancers ages 18-23, comes out and looks like the real deal. Piers thought that was unbelievably exciting to watch because it’s original and fresh.
Based on their introduction, I was assuming Duo Design are from a galaxy far, far away, but it just turns out they’re from Poland (and Myspace). One guy hops on the other and balances on him with his hands. Piers buzzes. He thinks they’re weird, though oddly compelling. Sharon thought it was fabulous. Hoff viewed them as alien cool. Too weird for Piers, but the other two let them through.
Eddie Green believes he’s got fans and talent. Outlook not good. The name of his act is Eddie and the Puppet Divas. Yeah, still not good. He leaves the stage and returns with Tina Turner, dancing with her to Proud Mary. Piers thinks the horror and bemusement on the puppet’s face say it all.
Marcus Terell and The Serenades are longtime friends who are coming together as a group for the first time. They sing Hit the Road Jack. Piers has a request. Dump the girls because they’re dragging down Marcus. Sue Son agreed with this request from the judges on Britain’s Got Talent, where Piers is also a judge, which allowed her to make it to the semifinals. Marcus refuses to go along. Sharon agrees the girls are not up to par, but does think that they can be fixed.
Charles DeWayne Dorsey, Jr. is a singer and piano player. He sings Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours by Stevie Wonder. Sharon likes that he’s ticked all the right boxes, a phrase most Americans have only ever heard before from Simon on American Idol, but it’s a good thing. Piers thinks he may be a bit of a star.
Vanessa, aka Heavy Vee, is a “natural born dancer.” We’ve been seeing a trend this season that the final act of the night is very good. Well, the streak is over. Piers explains that the point of dancing is to move around, more than three inches. Nick thinks he knows what the problem is. She needs a partner. So what if he dances with her? They both need to be voted off the island.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 4 Episode 10, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC.
I am still wondering? AGT show is for the best amateurs. Why is Barbara Padilla there. She had all these professional training, is a professional singer from abroad.
Ofcause, I have sympathy for her suffering. in mean time , I think it’s not fair to others- the best amateurs.
I don’t believe any restrictions are placed on the person’s level of training, which does range from none to significant. It’s just about someone being undiscovered.
