America’s Got Talent (NOT)
Tonight’s “America’s Got Talent” focused on New York and the East Coast. I wasn’t really impressed with the clogging group All That, but the judges and audience were and they made it through to the next round. I liked magician Elliott Zimet – I thought Brandy was going to pass out when he appeared to take one dove and tear it into two. He was like a hip-hop birdman. The band PBM was okay, but I am sure Blink 182 wants their act back. I did not enjoy the harpist Corina Brouder – yes, she was good but BORING! I am not sure why guitarist/contortionist Dave Smith made it through to the next round. The judges have this high and mighty stance, talking about the “quality of talent” then let some joke act like this go through. Side Swipe’s karate/dance choreography group that was okay, but if you really want to see something that will blow your mind, watch the Sick Step Crew that was on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Michelle L’Amour, the burlesque stripper, did NOT make Brandy happy, but I thought Piers was going to give her the million dollars right then and there. We will be seeing more of her (so to speak). Finally, the obligatory young singer, 11-year-old Bianca Ryan got through to the next round.
Perhaps the most interesting act of the night was Leonid the Magnificent. Half angel, half drag queen, Leonid balanced a sword on a knife while doing the splits in what looked like 6-inch heels. He dropped it the first time, regained his composure and finished the act. Brandy liked him, but Piers and David both said no. After much pleading from Brandy and crying from Leonid, they decided to let him move on in the competition.
Of those not making it through to the next round? A terrible singer named Marlon Reynolds (I don’t even know why they wasted air time with him), Frank Simon (the guy who balanced a moped on his chin and a oven with his mouth), Matthew Furman (the sound effects guy), and William J. McGowan (another bad singer).
