Not happy with the NOs for the one boy Jeffery I
was sure he would have it over Angel .I agree with the rest
NOs but to keep Jeffery I would have said NO to The
Sacred Riana. The golden buzzer to the 70 year old I
didn't think was buzzer great but at that age and she
looks fantastic sure . I don't think she will last much
after the lives start. .Cats probably wont last long but love the cat act.

America's
Got Talent Judge Cuts continue tonight. The
contestants judges Howie
Mandel, Mel
B., Heidi Klum and Simon
Cowell choose during this round will join the
Golden Buzzer acts in the LIVE shows.Host
Tyra
Banks hosts. Join us as we live blog all
the performances.Country
singer Martina
McBride is tonight's guest judge. Which act
will be her golden buzzer? Eighteen acts perform, but only SEVEN
advance to the live showsThe
Savitsky Cats – Cat Act – Mother daughter
duo–Mom has been training cats for 20 years. She used to
find them on the streets. This time new tricks and new cats!
Just waiting for one of these cats, at one point, to
seemingly say F U and wander away. It almost happens at one
point! Or was that part of the act? Endless treats are key
to the success of this act, apparently. A mildly
entertaining act, that banks on folks awe over cats taking
direction. Because the tricks in particular aren't
actually that spectacular. Howie loved it. He feels the act
stepped it up. Could not resist a bad pun–noting the duo
almost had a "catastrophy" when the one kitty almost
didn't play. Martina loved it "It was thrilling to
watch." Heidi felt they put on a "real show." It made
Mel smile. Simon thinks the act would make a great TV show.
Hm. The duo want to open a cat theater.
Blue
Tokyo – Dance troupe – The group promised the
judges new flips and tricks. But it must not have impressed
them that much–the act is edited down. Simon says "It
left me a little cold." Howie says he'll fight for
them.
OC
Music and Dance School – High school group
perform Kesha's "Praying." Mel thought it was a step
up from the first time. Howie disagrees. Simon thinks
they're too serious. With the little bit of screen time
plus criticism they got here, it's another obvious
NOPE.
The
PAC Dance Team – High School Dance Team –
The kids consider the director their "mom." She helps
kids headed in the wrong direction get on the right path. A
few of their Youtube videos went viral. Howie said no to
their audition. This time, they perform a hip hop routine
with an Alice Through the Looking Glass theme. The costumes
are clever? Simon is smiling, but Howie buzzed them. What a
bitch. "This show is so much more than just a high school
dance team," says Howie. I wouldn't have buzzed
them…but I kinda agree with Howie. The rest of the panel
disagrees. Simon wasn't crazy about the music, but he
loves their energy and enthusiasm.
Two
kid singers are next. About the same age–they claim to be
friends. Angel
Garcia – Kid singer – Angel is a Spanish
language performer and a La Voz Kids alum. Howie
criticized his audition for being too "old." He
performs Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" in
Spanish. It's sweet, if not spectacular rendition. Howie
felt he stepped it up but "your eyes were closed."
Martina loved his passion.
Jeffrey
Li – Kid singer – Jeffery sang "You Raise Me
Up" for his audition, and was VERY nervous. He's still
really nervous. Tonight he performs Whitney Houston's
"One Moment in Time." Huh. It's very dramatic!
Jeffrey understands he needs a big moment to advance,
which probably
means he'll get a spot, and Angel will not. Martina notes
his nerves, but loves his voice. "I can't sing like that
and I've had a 25 year career," she says. Simon believes
it should not have worked, but it did.
Ms.
Trysh – Singer – We catch a glimpse of her
singing "If You Don't Know Me By Now." OH NO. She
forgets her words. She's the singer, during her audition,
who had a crush on Simon and her husband didn't mind? She
gets such short shrift here–another obvious elimination.
But I bet she would have had a tough time even if she sang
the song perfectly.
Kazi
– Singer Songwriter – Her audition was montaged. And we
barely got a glimpse here. Simon wan't impressed, so BYE
GIRL.
Bone
Hampton – Comic – Howie was bullish on Bone's
audition. But his routine fell flat "I didn't do
enough," he says, "Overwhelming is an
understatement."
Quin
and Misha – Ballroom Dance – The female dancer
is 71 years old. Her very supportive husband is in the
audience. Quin's father was a rice farmer in Laos. She's
only been dancing for 10 years and had to find a young
partner because her husband could not keep up. The male
dancer does most of the heavy lifting here. Figuratively and
literally. She's amazingly limber and graceful, though.
"You have definitely inspired me," says Heidi. Simon
loves the duo's personality, "This was great." Martina
says, "You inspired everybody." What the heck? Martina
hits her Golden Buzzer. REALLY? REALLY? Uh.
They'll be cut in the first live round, But it's a feel
good moment? I guess.
Noah
Guthrie – Singer/Songwriter – Noah is so dang
planty, that production didn't even try to hide his
extensive experience, which includes being a regular on Glee
for a season. He says things got a little weird after Glee.
His dad was very supportive as he tried to transition from
TV fame. After moving back to South Carolina, Noah and his
dad hit the road together, helping the singer get his
confidence back. Simon stops Noah mid song, saying,
"You've got to stand out from the pack" and dissing
his song choice. Noah launches into his second song choice,
"Whipping Post" by Allman Brothers, with gusto. The song
is more identifiable, and has bigger moments. One of
Simon's big tricks is stopping an act mid performance.
It's mostly theater. I mean–of course Noah is destined
to go through. Simon is just trying to spice things up. The
judges give him a standing ovation. Mel thought the second
song was "so much more you." Howie thinks he "has
it." Heidi loves the heartfelt tone of his voice. Martina
believes he is well on his way back to stardom. Simon
believes Noah has not tapped his full
potential.
Jules
& Jerome – Acrobatics – In their audition
the two tumbled off of a see saw contraption. Other than how
high they can jump, the act is not very impressive.
Simon rightly believe that they need to be more
ambitious.
Fratelli
Rossi – Acrobats – This act are also acrobats.
Brothers, they come from a family of performers. One of them
tore an ACL months before their audition. Maybe because of
the injury, they slipped up during their act. The two
promise to really bring it this time. They claim that their
new routine is SO dangerous, they didn't practice it.
WHAT? That seems counter-intuitive. One brother lays on his
back while flipping his sibling around with his feet. They
ask Martina to test a mask to demonstrate there are no
tricks. So this is the super dangerous part they did not
rehearse? The brother being tossed dons the mask for a flip
or two. YAWN. "My heart was in my throat," says Martina.
Heidi LOVES to watch them. Simon thinks they are
"interesting." Howie believes they stepped it
up.
Bensax
International – Saxophone Player –
Musician from Haiti plays feel good tunes. He claims that
the president of Haiti has promised to attend the live shows
if the judges advance him. But considering how short this
clip is–Prez would be wise to cancel those travel
plans.
Oliver
Graves – Comic – Deadpan goth comic impressed
the judges the first time around. He works retail and is
desperate to quit his day job! He's been gigging in
preparation for this moment. His jokes don't always land.
But he does get off a couple of pretty good self deprecating
zingers. "This guy is so unique and so original," says
Howie, "I love you." Martina loves his timing. "You
are definitely someone we're going to remember," says
Simon.
UDI
Dance – Projection Team – They're from
Siberia! They met at a "school for poor children" Dance
gave them something to dream about. They also run a dance
school for poor kids like themselves. These black light acts
don't always translate on television. But the clever,
clear storytelling and impressive effects make this act a
winner. "You just blow my mind every time I see you,"
says Mel. Martina calls them creative and powerful. "I
thought it was terrific," says Simon.
We
Three – Sibling Singing Trio – Their dad was in
a band with their aunts and uncles. He quit to take care of
his family and has been working as a garbage man ever since.
Their mom recently lost a battle with cancer. The trio's
audition song was an original about mom. This time, they
sing another original about "dealing with your demons"
called "Lifeline." The band's original songs are
"inspirational" which is the thing that will propel them
on this backstory driven show. Having said that, they do
have talent. They all play instruments and deliver decent
vocals. Mel loves "everything about you guys." Martina
loved the song's first line. "So vulnerable and real."
Heidi loves them too, she calls them "humble and down to
earth." Howie calls them "beautiful." Simon says,
"You need nothing from us except a
platform."
The
Sacred Riana – Horror Magic Act – We previewed
this act HERE. This very weird act won
Asia's Got Talent. I preferred her audition,
actually, where she produced a polaroid out of thin air. The
life size doll trick seemed cliched by comparison. Also, Mel
playing scared is laying it on a bit thick here. Ditto Simon
acting all creeped out. "I want this to end," he says
dramatically. Sure, Simon.
Oh
DANG. Chris
Hardwick is next week's guest judge. OBVIOUSLY
taped before all the #MeToo controversy. Good
thing he was cleared by AMC to return to
his Walking
Dead duties, eh? At the very
least, Hardwick's ex has outed him as a manipulative
douchebag. Just. Ew.RESULTS:Quin

A
couple of surprises: I thought one of the young singers
would go through–Jeffrey
Li specifically. Also, I'm a little surprised the
goth comic, Oliver
Graves didn't make the cut. I would have nixed
the Savitsky
Cats, the weird The
Sacred Riana, and Quin
and Misha. Yep. The latter is one of the most
undeserved Golden Buzzer acts in all of AGT
history. Still,
there are usually three or so wildcards that are chosen to
move on after the Judge Cuts wrap up. Maybe Jeffery or
Oliver will get lucky (I'm betting on
Oliver).
