The road to the top 48 began in America’s Got Talent Season 7 Episode 11. Tonight Vegas week continues.
The magic category starts first. Eric Dittelman reads Sharon’s mind of her first crush, the name of whom she just made up. Taylor Reed makes a helicopter appear. Escape artist Spencer Horseman makes his way out of a locked tank of water.
Next singing category, vocal groups. Eric & Olivia still aren’t in love. I’m still not sure what purpose he serves, but she has an interesting voice. Maurice & Shanice Hayes stumble, as again she outperforms her partner. Jorge & Alexa Narvaez seem to be pretty much guaranteed a spot since she’s 7, though Howard says it sounds like a dress rehearsal.
Comedians are the next group, well aware they are facing an uphill battle. Jacob Williams, Sammy Obeid, Dave Burleigh, Kellen Erskine, Tom Cotter, and Frank Roche are in this group. Tom seems to have the most success. Frank can’t even get through his act, and he’s gone.
Next we move on to the kids. Sebastien “El Charro de Oro” returns with his mariachi band. Issac Brown is still primarily carried by his charisma. Piano player Edon and dance crew The Untouchables round out the musical stylings. Amazing Elizabeth is a 6 year old who does an aerial act. Now that’s something I haven’t seen before.
From musical kids, we move to male singers. Because there hasn’t been enough music yet. Ulysses remains a theme song singer. Daniel Park gets skipped past quickly. Jake Wesley Rogers has Sharon on his side. Tim Poe, who has been accused of making up his military injury, follows. Tim Hockenberry is the bright spot of the category.
Jorge & Alexa have been eliminated. Tom and Jacob are the comedians to make it. Loyalty Dance Team is out. Amazing Elizabeth and Issac are as well, but The Untouchables, Edon, Sebastien advance. Tim Poe and Ken get cut while 787 Crew make it. Tim Hockenberry, Jake, and even Ulysses are going to New York. Both the duos with noticeably weaker components make it through. Spencer does, too, as does painter Joe Castillo. Ben Blaque joins the lucky list. Apparently stupidity is a talent because Horse is not left behind. Simply Sergio and Luiz Meneghin are eliminated. Andrew de Leon, who looked like he was going to win this whole thing at first, faces perhaps the most shocking elimination of the lot.
