Howie Mandel made his debut in America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 1, and he was awesome. The acts for the first night included Future Funk, SwingShift Side Show, New Directions Choir, and Michael Grimm.
Tonight we head to Dallas, TX.
ArcAttack play music and then add lightning. 1.21 gigawatts of electricity will be flowing through one of the guys. They’re just hoping they can get through the lame music to the lightning part. Only one buzzer through, and they’re good to go, although Sharon’s still not impressed by the end.
Jeremy Kinison (aka Cut Throat Freak Show) is a “genital daredevil.” This can’t be good. Nick agrees to light the lighter. Jeremy pulls down his pants and sticks them in a bucket. Sharon and Piers buzz. Howie refuses. He wants to see what happens. Go ahead and light it, dude. By the way, please don’t try this at home. Then we hear firecrackers. Nick will take Jeremy’s word that he’s alright down there.
Jenna Adora Somar is a singer/actress/model. When you can’t do any one thing well, might as well say you do three. I love ironic songs with lyrics like “you’re no good.” Sharon would have liked to see a pole. Howie goes off to get some dollars.
The Muttley Crew are 10 rescue dogs living in a dog house on wheels with Bert and Frannie Davis. Individually the dogs may well not have made it through, but there’s something for everyone regardless of what type of dog they like.
Taylor Matthews sings and plays guitar. He does an excellent original version of Somewhere over the Rainbow. Sharon likes him because he’s an odd little thing, in a good way. He’s already getting a marriage proposal from somebody in the audience. Piers loves the voice, the look, and the cheesy grin.
Band director Ray Sanders is playing… a turkey baster. That doesn’t last long.
Ms. Donna twirls flaming Samoan knives. Practicing before the show, she’s already dropping stuff. The audience has been moved from the front rows because she’s half blind. Good news: she hasn’t killed or set anybody on fire. Yet. The judges decide to start hitting buzzers in between ducking. When we get to the point of the whole audience fearing for their lives, Howie hits the third X. Regardless, Piers says yes. Sharon agrees.
CJ Dippa already has a stage name at age 11. He’s a rapper and a player. Piers wants Eminem to move over.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 3, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.
