Seattle auditions, Part 1 - Recap

The auditions continue and Host Nick Cannon along with Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel are ready for another city. This time they are in Seattle and the hopefuls gather in the thousands in the rainy city. Howie drives himself, but finds it hard to find the Paramount Theater. Eventually he finds it and pulls up in his pink tow truck. They gather in their seats ready for the talent.

First act of the night is Melissa Villasenor, an impressionist. She comes out on stage and does: Barbara Walter, Natalie Portman, Miley Cyrus, Kathy Griffin and Christina Aguilera. She is perfect with each voice impression. Howie says that he loved it, Sharon said that it was perfect and Piers says that he loved it and says that she has a true talent. She moves on to the next round in Vegas.

Next up are “A+C Twins”, a pair of twins and they want to be able to sell a lot of albums with their singing. They come out and they are horrible at singing. Piers buzzes and the entire audience boos them. Afterward, Piers says that it was good until they opened their mouths to sing. Howie says no. Sharon says that they shouldn’t ever sing and says no. One of the singers tells that Howie is a hater and that Howie can’t sing better than him. Howie takes the challenge and then mimics and Howie sings with them. The twins don’t even realize that they are getting mocked.

This sets off a montage of bad acts that don’t get the judges approval and that include a bad magic act/singing group that are really bad and don’t get through to Vegas.

Next up is “Zuma Zuma” an acrobatic act from Kenya, Africa. They perform their act and they are amazing that they can do all that without any mats down. Howie says that there was so much energy. Piers says that people are going to like them and the judges all say yes. “Zuma Zuma” get through to the next round and are happy to be able to do so.

Next up is “Poplyfe”. They come out and sing “I Want To Be A Billionaire” and they are good. Howie says that it was original and says that they are wonderful. Sharon says that she admires it and says that they were great. Piers says that the singer is great, but says that she doesn’t need the group. The singer says that they wanted to give an acoustic set, but says that when they are in their electric set, they are going to rock. Howie says yes, Piers says no and Sharon says yes. They go through to Vegas.

This sets off a montage of great acts that impress the judges and all prove that they have a talent that is worth going to Vegas for and the judges send them through to see if they can cope with the Vegas round.

Next up is Mauricio Herrera, a performer originally from America who has been living in Costa Rica. He comes out and sings “Vida Loca” and is horrible at it. Piers buzzes and the crowd boos him. Piers says that it was horrendous. Howie says that it was so ridiculous it was funny. Howie convinces Sharon to go along with it and Piers gets up and takes a break from the madness.

The last performer of the night is Carlton Baltimore who says that he is the Paper Horn man. He comes out and starts to blow into a paper horn and it is not entertaining at all. However, Howie is happy that he is on the stage and the crowd too gets in with him. Piers walks out and goes to his dressing room. They go to the vote and Howie says yes. Sharon says that is was a lot of fun, but says no. They get Piers out of the dressing room and he comes out and it seems like he is going to change his mind, but he was only teasing and says no. Carlton’s dreams of being a Vegas performer are over. The performers have performed and now it is time to move on to another city.
