Keg, the Lone Ranger of Rock was a constantly kicking one man rock ‘n roll band who did not impress anybody. Silvia Brizio was super hot but couldn’t sing or dance her way past the judges. Madmat the Indistructable Man walked barefoot up a ladder of swords then was sent to the exit. The Shanghai Pearl started off in a pink gorilla suit, then stripped–and got sent home.
Disfigured Kari Callin has an amazing voice and is going to Las Vegas. Simon Chaban wow-ed everyone when he combined fire with acrobatics. Handsome Keith Johnson impressed the crowd while singing and playing guitar. Pixie Mystere was a group of super talented young tumblers wearing the cutest costumes. Reality, the song and dance group, performed the wrong song pretty well but were not appreciated at all and were sent packing.
Destined 2 Be dance crew was a unique urban precision dance act that will go to Las Vegas. Rashida Jolley sang and played harp and used her instrument for percussion as she impressed the judges and the audience. Anthony and Matt surprised the crowd when one sang and played guitar while the other used his tap shoes for percussion rhythym to the song. Louis Bar and Laura Cantu tangoed their way to the next round. The Kalinins were a father and son strength acrobats who are going to Vegas. Christopher and Laura Camp literally whipped their way through the competition.
Last year’s singing piano playing contestant, Mia Boostrom, thought she had improved her singing talent enough to get further in the competition this year–she was right. She’s going to Vegas again.
The show ended with host Nick Cannon’s wife, Maraiah Carey in her new music video.
My favorite act of the night was Anthony and Matt. They took two seperate talents, combined them, and created something unique that was applauded by the audience. It is easy to judge from my couch at the Munro House while watching talent on the big screen and I’ll be doing it all season long.
