New York City was the destination for America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 3. We got a look at Antonio Restivo and not much else.
Tonight we head back to New York for day two. Hopefully there’s more there than there was last time.
The first act of the day, Mary Ellen, plans to play the keyboard and sing. She can’t play. That’s okay because she can’t sing either. By some ridiculous miracle, she gets the crowd behind her, but it’s not enough to stop Howie from pressing that last X. Realizing he’s crazy, Howie says yes. Then Sharon says yes, too.
Rudi Macaggi balances on his head on top of a basketball on top of a champagne waterfall of death. This seems like a pretty stupid idea. How you gonna keep this up for a 90 minute show, dude? With Rudi’s promise he will deliver something to blow their socks off next time, he gets three yeses.
The Spangles Dance Company is stuck in the 80s. Hair notwithstanding, the 80s had the potential to be hot, so this works out well.
Erik Koloski does a yoyo performance. These things haven’t been replaced by like a Nintendo Wii game yet?
Michael Grasso is a magician. He puts a girl into a box with her hand sticking out while holding a curtain. In the blink of an eye, she’s outside the box, and he’s inside. Well played.
12 year old dancers Anna & Patryk will be heading to Vegas.
Richard and his wife Bonnie are Just the Two of Us. They play flute, lute, and sing. About 500 years out of date.
Joseph Ray (aka Chale) hopes to become a famous singer and voiceover talent. Even singing a love song to Sharon isn’t going to win him a yes.
Fifth grader Nina Mojares will be singing with some taller people behind her, a dance crew named Legit. Not a lot of point to the dancing, but this girl has a decent voice. Piers and Sharon don’t think she’s ready yet.
Alice Tan Ridley’s daughter is Gabby Sidibe. Alice has been singing in the subway for the last 20 years, but now she’s ready to get away from the things that live under the ground. Sharon wants to know how come nobody’s signed her yet.
Chipps Cooney is our second magician of the night. Only not really. He’s actually more of a prop comedian. Kinda. Piers is about ready to stab himself, but the other two are going to let him through.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 5, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC.
