Atlanta auditions, Part 2 (Day 1) - Recap

The auditions continue in Atlanta for Day two of their auditions in the city and the hopefuls gather to show that they have what it takes to get it into the next round and move on to Vegas. The judges get a little lost at first making their way to the auditorium and eventually get to their seats to await the oncoming talent.

First up to audition are “Eric & Christlo”. They come out with flavor, but it is not good at all. The singing and dancing are not good at all. Piers and Sharon buzz them and the audience boos them. Piers says that it wasn’t good and Sharon says that they weren’t good, but they are adorable. They vote and it is a no. Piers teases Sharon for calling them adorable, but horrible. She throws paper at Piers.

This sets off a montage of bizarre acts that do not impress the judges nor the audience at all. Including a guy that hangs by his hair, but who can’t manages to do anything else.

Next up is Fatally Unique, a dance group. They tell that they have had financial problems and that they have a lot to give. They come out and Sharon tells that they are great. Howie tells that he likes the costumes and it was great. Piers says that the costumes are dumb, but loved the dancing. They get through to Vegas.

This sets off a montage of great acts that impress the judges including a singer/guitar player that has an amazing voice and a muscle-clad man who impresses Sharon to which Howie tells that he feels that he is at the head table at a Bachelorette party.

Next up is “Tomahawk Tassels” a dancer dressed like Pocahontas and who takes off her top and covers it with a canoe paddle. They vote that it is a no for them and Howie asks to see her paddle. She tells him that he has to come and get it. Howie turns her away from the audience and compliments the paddle. She gives Howie her top and he takes it to Piers. She is rejected from moving on and Piers tosses the shirt away from him.

Cindy Chang, a 42-year-old housewife, is next and says that she wants to sing for the audience. She comes out and is a little nervous. She starts singing and she is an amazing opera singer. Piers says that he wasn’t expecting that and says that her parents made a big mistake. Sharon says that she was amazing. Howie says that he hopes that her parents are watching and says that it was great.

Next up is “Mike Stone & The Kritical Band”. They sing and entertain the crowd. Piers buzzes toward the end. Afterward, Piers says that after he pushed the button, they attacked the song. Sharon says that it was smoking. They vote and the group gets through to the next round and on to Vegas.

Next is “Fantastic Fig and Cat”, a magician who has a group of attractive girls with him. He is 72-years-old and tells the judges to name a card and he manages to pull it out without shuffling through the deck. Then he starts to dance. Afterward, Howie asks about the dancing and he tells him that he doesn’t know because the girls wanted to dance. They put him through on the basis of no dancing next time.

Next up is “GTR”, two friends that want to sing and dance. They begin and they are not good at all. Sharon sees Nick backstage dancing and asks him to come out and do it again. He does and the girls join in too. However, the judges vote quickly and it is a no for “GTR”.

The last act of the night is the “Fearless Flores Family”. They have their 8-year-old and 13-year-old go into the globe of death on motorcycles. They drive around with their father inside. Howie says that when his son was 8-years-old he got a bouncy house. The globe of death was exciting. Sharon says that it was great. Piers asks how far they are going to take it and the father says that they will have the entire family inside doing the act. They vote them through to the next round. That is it for the auditions and Sharon gets one more auditionee to sing for her and she is alright. Sharon says that she was great.
