I agree with Yumbo Dumbo and the scary little girl, they are not million dollar acts! But I do hope Noah makes it, I'm a fan of his since his days on Glee!

McKayla
Phillips –
15 Year old Singer is Heidi Klum's Golden Buzzer.
That
means she hasn't performed since her audition.
Heidi
laments that fact as she introduces the young singer.
McKayla's
dad is a firefighter. We
see a shot of McKaya and her dad driving into the fire
station where a slew of hometown fans are waiting for
her. She
sings "Issues" by Julia Michaels.. Hm….she's
OK. She
could use a few more years of experience. She's
got the look and ingredients to be a pop singer.
But
she's not quite there yet. She
does hit a couple of impressive high notes. She's
vying to be the next Ariana Grande. Heidi
says, "I'm so proud of you! You
belong on this stage." Heidi
claims her version is better than the original. Howie
believes she stepped up her performance from her
audition. Mel B
calls her interpretation "on point." She
wasn't completely down with the high notes, though.
Mel's
buzzer goes off by accident. Simon
also sees a big improvement from her audition.
There
really is a disadvantage to receiving a golden
buzzer. I
barely remember this girl.
OH.
There
are tech issues. Stage
doors that would normally hide the technicians aren't
working. Da
Republik –
Dance Group from Dominican Republic – There are no jobs
for dancers in the Dominican Republic. That's
why they're here. There
are literal cars on set, which the dancers use as
props. Fire
and smoke too. Still.
Eh..
There
are some pretty cool tricks. Oh
look. A
flying saucer! Mel B
loves their hair. OK,
then. "You
left everything on that dance floor. You
were representing," Mel says enthusiastically..
Heidi
calls it "Beyond exciting…I
really want this for you guys." Simon
calls them "The best dance group that we've seen in the
live shows so far." Howie
puns, "Da Republic is Da Bomb." The
lead dancer thanks AGT for changing their
lives.
Noah
Guthrie –
Singer, Glee alum – Once again, dad is featured in the
video package. He
talks about how shy Noah was as a kid. Noah
says after Glee
ended
"there was nothing." Just
did a search…Noah
is taking a big chance with an original song called "Show
Me Some Mercy." It's
a decent song. At
some point, I suppose, he needed to prove he can be a viable
artist. Still,
his covers are better. Heidi
calls him a "double threat…a
triple threat. You're
very handsome tonight." He
tells Simon he wrote the song. Simon
is proud of him, calls him the "comeback
kid." Howie
doesn't like the song. Doesn't
think it will resonate with the audience. Mel B
agrees with Howie. I'm
rooting for this kid. I
liked him a lot on Glee.
Yumbo
Dump –
Japanese Comedians – They are actually from Tokyo.
Their
accents sound fake. But
they are probably exaggerating to make racist Americans
laugh! I
mean. This
act is like Step n Fetch It the Asian version. Mel B
buzzes them right off. As
well she should. I
don't even get the noises they are trying to make?
They
are definitely running out of shtick. They
started off bad and have devolved to completely
unwatchable. Heidi
and Simon buzz them next. They
finish with a "dolphin love story" involving dolphin
heads and "You Light Up My Life." Howie
gives them a standing ovation. Simon
and Mel loved the dolphins so they take back their Xs.
"This
act is important," insists Howie. Heidi
stands firm on her X. Somebody
on that panel has to be the sensible
one.
Samuel
J. Comroe
–
Comedian with Tourettes – Like Noah, Sam's dad features
into his video package. Oh.
Dad
wanted to be a comedian too. "In my
eyes, Samuel is the best comedian ever to walk this
earth." Aw.
"It's
a dream come true to follow two dolphins doing whatever it
is they were doing," OK that's kind of funny.
Next,
it's jokes about his pug dog. Who
doesn't love doggos? Ha.
Simon
LOOVES pooches. Smart
move. A
mildly humorous routine gets a standing ovation.
"Well
done," says Howie. Heidi
didn't love this week's routine. His
best was his audition, for sure. Simon
thinks Sacred Riana put a curse on the show.! He
loves Samuel and hopes America votes for him. Mel B
says ditto. Tyra
does a spot on imitation of Samuel's "accent."
It's
strange, because the dude is from Los Angeles. Is
that vocal affectation part of his
Tourettes?
Voices
of Hope –
Children's Choir (Ken Jeong's Golden Buzzer) –
OK. We've
already got a choir moving on to the
semifinals. We
don't need another. It's
yet ANOTHER song from The
Greatest Showman,
"A Million Dreams." Cute kids galore. So
sweet I need to brush my teeth stat. Mel B
says they sound amazing, but she didn't like the song
choice." Simon
buzzes her for that. "I
could not disagree more," he says, "Absolutely perfect
choice." He
insists, "I want them in the show all the way to the
end. He
calls them bottled happiness. Heidi
compliments the solo voices. "Children
are our future," says Howie, a little tongue in
cheek.
The
Savitsky Cats –
Ukrainian Cat Act – The video package features the kitties
with funny dialog. That
was more entertaining than the act! Sometimes
the kitties need a little handling before they
cooperate. The
mom/daughter duo who handle the kitties are like cat
whisperers. Because
your typical cat attitude is basically "eff you."
Heidi
goes full pun. "Puuurrrfect,"
she says. Howie
is not sure they stepped it up from last time. Heidi
disagrees. Simon
takes a bit to recover from Heidi's bad puns. Heidi
says she enjoyed the music more than the cats. They
run out of time. No
critique from a giggling Simon. I'm
with Mel and Howie. Sure,
cats are typically not trainable. But
once they are? Eh.
Glennis
Grace @GlennisGrace
– 40 Year old Singer – Glennis shares her feelings of
inadequacy and how it has held her back. She
performs "Never Enough" from GUESS WHAT THE GREATEST
SHOWMAN. All
these songs will be sung on singing shows forever and ever
won't they. The
thing about Glennis: She's got iron pipes. She
can hit those incredible high notes and hasn't met a key
change she couldn't totally blast through. But
she's super generic and lacks real connection to what
she's singing. Simon
calls the performance "a moment." Howie
calls it a "crazy moment." Paul
Stanley from KISS is in the audience. Mel B
admires that she's taking back her power.. She
doesn't like the black stripey jacket she's wearing
though.
The
Sacred Riana –
Horror Magician – The video package features a bunch of
creepy Sacred Rianas and FIRE. Of
course, she's picking on Mel again. She
presents a photo of the panel. "She
is coming for one of you." Riana
intones. HA HA
HA. Suddenly,
Mel's face is magically burnt out of the picture, with it
stuck on the head of a voodoo doll instead. A
twin appears. Now
it's the zombified mutants from the video package.
Riana
climbs up a wall to escape. And
then a commercial break! I
don't get it. We're
back. Time
for the judges. "You're
brilliant, I hope we see you in the final," says
Simon. Heidi
calls her creepy and memorable, but she was expecting more
wow in the magic. There
was literally no magic in that act. OVERRATED.
Quin
and Misha –
Dance Duo, Female is 71 (Martina McBride's Golden Buzzer)
– She's a former tennis player, so she's been training
and working out all of her life. Quin's
dance partner tosses her around like a rag doll.
And
she has the strength to stay strong and hold impressive
poses. But
she doesn't actually dance! They
dance to "Maniac" from Flashdance
and
finish with Quin pulling a rope like in the movie–only
it's confetti rather than water. Heidi
says they don't miss a beat, "Fantastic…age
is just a number." Simon
calls her "really really fun…I
really hope you make it to the next round." Howie
is not sure the act is worthy of moving on. He's
correct. "What
you do is incredible," says Mel.
Front
Pictures –
Projection act – Initially eliminated, the group was
brought back as a Wild Card. I
guess that was fun? A
story with special effects. I
dunno. Heidi
calls it "innovative and futuristic.." Simon
is messing with his mic. So
many tech issues tonight! He
wants to hear more applause for them. Simon
felt like he was in a movie. "It
was absolutely fantastic." Howie
hopes it translates at home. That's
the problem with projection acts. They
are probably way more impressive in theater. Mel B
didn't get the story.
Duo
Transcend –
Married Acrobatic Duo, Husband is going blind – During the
judge cuts, the legally blind husband dropped his
wife. DUH.
HE'S
BLIND! But
she jumped right up, proving the stunt actually wasn't
all that dangerous.
What will happen this time? The
blindfold is back on. The
thing about this couple–they incorporate their
"passionate" relationship into the act, and it
works. The
blindfold bit is kind of kinky! She
positions herself on his crotch, drops off the trapeze and
he catches her with one hand. Was
the blindfold supposed to come off? It
does. They
finish the sexy act without a hitch this time.
"Hands
down one of the best act of the night," says Heidi.
"Brave,
incredible, nuts," says Simon. He
wants the fire back. Howie
loves the trust and passion.
It
has just dawned on me that I'm not enjoying this season as
much as I did last year and even the year before.
The
acts just aren't surprising me anymore…The
stage doors that typically hid the tech people moving around
props were broken through the whole show. That
was kind of a mess. Oh
well. Live
TV. See
you Wednesday night for the
results!
