Portland day 1 brought us Airpocalypse, Connor Doran, and William Scott Anderson in America’s Got Talent Season 5 Episode 7. Now we head back to Portland for day 2.
Taxi driver Soriah usually sings in his cab. He wants to show the judges something they’ve never seen before. He comes dressed up as a… I don’t know what the hell he’s dressed as. Then he proceeds to make strange noises like a man possessed (but not with any talent).
The Amazing Amy performs contortion yoga dancing. I’m not sure whether she’s Amy or not, but she’s definitely not amazing.
Hart Keene takes off his shirt to start. Then he proceeds to swallow needles. The judges are annoyed by him. Natasha Delepine has the hair of a troll doll and makes up a song on the spot.
Family group The Hot Shot Tap Dancers will hopefully break the losing streak. Piers thinks they’re very cool and loves the look and feel of it. But he wasn’t wild about the choreography.
Isabelle and Ryan (AscenDance) have decided to combine dancing and climbing. Really? Somehow, the combination works. They drive each other up a wall much better than Howie does with his wife.
RNG (Rated Next Generation) is a group of young dancers ages 11-13 with potential. Paul Safy, Jr. is an old school singer. The Sky Sirens do a doubles trapeze act that looks like it may well have been awesome, if only we’d seen more of it. Kent Jenkins plays an instrument he and his father built. They are all going to Vegas.
Ryan Compton has a talent that’s extremely different. 99% could not even attempt to do it. Nor would they want to. He starts off by making high pitched noises, then he jumps around randomly in what’s apparently supposed to be dancing.
Harmonica Pierre is a 74 year old from Belgium. This is the greatest love of his life, more so than his ex-wife. Good… but Sharon doesn’t think she can take too much of it. The other two will allow him to advance.
The final act of the night is Christina and Ali, a pair of singing sisters. They and both of their siblings have cystic fibrosis. The judges are amazed and inspired.
