Orlando auditions, Part 2 - Recap

America’s Got Talent is back in Orlando and it is day two. The stage has been moved to Universal’s Studio and the talent search is on to find that one talent worthy of the $1 Million prize and the headline show in Vegas. First up to prove that he’s got skills is Frankie. He is a magician that has a bizarre talent. This involves himself and a string. Nick Cannon helps out by verifying that the string is gone. After a few moments, Frankie starts pulling out the string from his stomach! Nick is grossed out about it and when Frankie asks for help, Nick is grossed out even more and says that there is blood on the string. The Pierce and Howie think that it is the best magic trick they have seen and can’t wait to see more. But Sharon feels that it isn’t good enough. Frankie moves on to Vegas.

This set off a slew of wins that include a magician doing rudimentary magic, a outer space dance group that impresses the judges, and one in particular, a knife thrower that has a volunteer that has his outline drawn and the knife thrower throws the knives at the outline. He stabs the outline in the knee. The volunteer doesn’t trust him so he tells that he has a backup plan and turns the plank around. Nick is on the other side and there are no knives inside of him! Raw talent!

Next after the break, Erin Burylski has a unique skill of body painting and paints the American Flag with nothing but her thighs and chest. After which Dutch student Simeon, wants the chance to win America’s Got Talent by proving he has what it takes to make it onto Vegas. He comes out dressed in a costume and introduces himself as “Amadeus” and wants to play a song on the piano. The 16 year old shows his talent of playing a piano and at the end the crowd is chanting “Vegas!” Pierce tells that it was amazing. Sharon loves that Simeon came out in costume and Howie loved it as well and called him Brilliant. Both acts get that spot in Vegas to see if they have what it takes to be the big winner.

Next up is Tiahizzi Gherrelle who wants to be a performer with her song and dance routine that she has “practiced” a lot for. From the beginning she is horrible at what she wants to inspire to be and she doesn’t get that pass to Vegas. Pierce calls it horrible. Sharon said it was not good enough and Howie was in agreement. This set off a montage of freaky acts that included a guy named Yogi, a bizarre protest group and a man named FAFO that wants to impress with his dancing a stripping to what Howie said his beginning outfit looked like he was a boy scout that wants to work at Hooters. At the end of the disgusting performance, to which Sharon couldn’t even watch, Pierce says that it was the “smallest” talent they have ever seen.

After the break Studio One Beat Society dance group are in the process of performing and impress the audience and judges with their synchronized dance moves and flips. Pierce Calls it fresh and amazing and Sharon and Howie agree. Next is 73 year old singer Efim Tabachnikov. Singing “Some Enchanted Evening”, he starts off and is horrible at what he thinks he is good at. Pierce tells that he had a lot of technical problems. Sharon told him that he didn’t hit the right notes. This Old Russian doesn’t get a spot and backstage he is asking everyone if he passed or not. Nick and even the crew are telling him that he did not until he finally gets the point.

Up next after the break is singing group “Harmonic”. They want to show that they have talent to be able to become successful to help their home country Haiti out. After a story of why they are together, the act begins and it is a solemn moment on America’s Got Talent and then the band pick up the tempo and gets the crowd cheering “Vegas”. After their performance, Howie says that he felt that they put their heart into it. Pierce says that they all have great voices and Sharon loved it too. Moving on to the next round, the band “Harmonic” are in great spirits for doing a great performance.

The auditions come to a close and last up for Orlando is Sponjetta. She tells that she is comparative to Byonce and all the other great Pop/R&B singers. She goes out and wants to sing an original song that she wrote. The words to the song are “I’ll be in my studio”…..that’s it. Over and over until she is buzzed, Piece said that the song lacked lyrics and Sharon and Howie agree that it was not good. But Nick comes out and says that her song could be a hit they just need to get the energy up. Sonjetta sings again but with Nick by her side dancing it made for an enjoyable performance. But she still gets a no from the judges and she will have to go back and “be in her studio”. Thus, Orlando is done and the judges move on to the next city to search for the next winner of America’s Got Talent.
