The second set of finalists was chosen in America’s Got Talent Season 7 Episode 29, setting the stage for tonight’s final performances.
David Garibaldi & His CMYK’s never were an act I fully understood, though the end product they finish with is always impressive. It’s just a matter of getting there. Their painting for the night is Al Einstein.
Tom Cotter’s made it further than any comedian before, and he’s got a chance to make it to the top. Like last time, he has prepared multiple acts, and he has Nick roll the dice to determine what he’s going to do, jokes about the bad examples adults set for children. He again gets the judges to their feet.
The Untouchables have made it one step beyond Miami All Stars. A bunch of kids dancing like Tina Turner? I did not see that coming.
Sand artist Joe Castillo does a tribute to America’s Got Talent for his final performance, creating portraits of the judges. Still good, but not as emtional as his earlier efforts.
William Close’s initial simplicity impressed me. The trick is adding additional elements to the show without the earth harp getting lost. As before, he gets a standing ovation from the judges, but I still feel some of it’s lost in translation.
The final performance of the season is the most talented animal act I’ve seen (a lot better than either anything on this show or Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashley & Pudsey), Olate Dogs. They start with some two legged walking and hurdle jumping, add in some barrel rolls, and as expected some backflips. Howard says it’s between the comedian, the earth harp, and them, which I’d call a fair assessment.
