Uh-oh. I can already see this coming. Another singer is going to win America's Got Talent.
Tuesday night, I agreed with most of the judges decisions. Tonight (with the Vegas standby acts finding out their fates), definitely not.
Four acts went through tonight that I thought were terrible or boring and never should have even made it to the Vegas round, let alone been accepted for the Hollywood rounds.
The worst was Sam B, the guy who just jumped around the stage like he was trying to dance or having a heart attack. What kind of act was that?! He could barely breathe when he was done. Awful - and not even in a funny way.
Almost equally as bad was the Ricky Martin wannabe (Mauricio Herrera) who sang Bee Gees' falsetto poorly.
The other two that shouldn't have gone through were the kiddie groups Avery & The Calico Hearts (the young girls that sang like Alvin & The Chipmunks) and the SH'Boss Boys (young dance act). All the kids are definitely talented, but not entertaining enough for this competition. Especially after seeing some of the acts that didn't get through.
The one that really should have gone to Hollywood was the guy that had auditioned twice before, but was always rejected (Leonid). His crazy quick-change act last week and then strange dance routine this week was entertaining and everything a Vegas act should be. I even liked the end of the performance this week where no one was sure what was happening. Leonid and his dance partner were just laying on the floor while everyone wondered if they were hurt or something. It was insane, unexpected, weird, and exactly what I thought this show is about.
His meltdown after being sent home did make it hard to root for him anymore. But despite that, I still think his act was far superior to the four I mentioned above.
And I'm hoping those four are the first to go home when America starts voting next week (followed closely after by all the singers).
