New York day 2 sucked a bit less, as America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 4 brought us Michael Grasso and Alice Tan Ridley. Tonight we move on to Orlando, where it’s bloody hot.
Jason Pote is an old school freestyle dancer. He never realized he possessed that talent until a few years ago. Because he doesn’t.
Jonathan Timpanelli moves his eyebrows around to music. Most pointless act of the night?
College student dance group The Morphs hopefully dance better than they’re dressed. What’s up with the full bodied brightly colored spandex suits? Nick wouldn’t want to show his face either.
Billy Bob Steinberg has come with a new musical instrument. His bicycle. Next. The Hoola Monsters are barely any more entertaining. Stacy Weaver then sings badly.
Lonnie Lear the truck driving cowboy is hopefully here to stop the sucking. He lives in Kevin Skinner’s hometown. They walk alike, they talk alike. But do they sing alike? Nope.
Nick Pike sounds like the people from Britain’s Got Talent, probably because he’s from England. He rides out on his unicycle while on fire and juggling. He hops down and continues the juggling… but he drops something. That’s an X from Piers. In conclusion, he juggles a chainsaw. Making an exception to his rule, Piers decides to say yes.
Kruti Dance Academy hopes to make Indian dance very well known. Lil Chris is a singer. Jayna Lee is a strongwoman who lets Nick walk all over her. Elaine Terranova tells us she’s a singer/dancer. The fact that she’s not doesn’t seem to matter. Each of these acts will be advancing to Vegas.
Nathaniel Kenyon is another guitar player and singer, and this time I suspect we’ve found someone worth listening to. Before getting into the singing, he tells a story about how he works at an elderly home since his grandmother died. Then he sings Matt Nathanson’s Come on Get Higher. The crowd loves him, but Piers doesn’t. Howie thinks he’s got a chance because of the young ladies. Piers doesn’t think he’s quite there, though. Sharon casts the deciding vote for Vegas.
Twisted Trystan and his sideshow performer soon to be wife Krystan (really?) are here to do something freaky. A couple months ago, he spent 4 days in the hospital for swallowing a sword wrong. With that said, tonight he will be swallowing a sword. At least Hasselhoff’s not here to press his buzzer in mid-swallow. After the sword, Trystan’s lovely fiancee takes a power drill and shoves it down his mouth. Love. Love is strange.
The final act of the night is Wreckless, a dance team from south Florida. Piers thinks dance groups should kick butt, which they do. Sharon likes that it’s raw and edgey.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 5, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.
