Well? Posts: 1,439 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: February 13, 2005	It’s time, people! Time for yet another strange week of America’s Got Talent. Will there be any seven feet tall men wearing skirts and eyeliner? Or cows squirting milk at the audience. Probably no, but you never know. It’d make things more interesting, at the least. During the Reeg-voiceover, I can’t help but tell how many times they’ve already lied to us – first off, not all of these were last week, and secondly, they pretend that Brandy has always had straight hair. Stop this, NBC. You know that she had a vicious mane until this show. And we won’t – nay, can’t – forget it. Finally, the actual show starts, and everyone’s favorite host, Reeg (ok, maybe not everyone’s favorite, but he’s a lot better than Seacrest) comes out to the audience chanting his name. Awww. How cute. Anyways, he introduces the three judges, explains what’s going on, and we’re off! The first contestants that we see are the Chicago Matadors. Here’s what you need to know. They’re large and in charge, and they’re wearing outfits that they should not be wearing. Excuse me, lead man, I don’t want to see it jiggle while you’re wearing a kilt. However, although the dance act (to the song “Can’t Touch This”) is an eyesore (Brandy and Piers buzz it), it’s actually kind of entertaining. In the end, David and Piers say no, and so they have to go home. Next up is “The Passing Zone”. And they juggle things. Oh goodness, more jugglers? However, the thing that makes them different is that they’re actually funny. And they’ve got skills – they juggled FIRE. Try that, crazy knife boy. In the end, Piers says yes, Hoff says no (what? You crazy.), and Brandy says yes, so they’re moving up. Following them are the Millers, who are two brothers. One has mad harmonica skills. The other one... plays the guitar and sings? Meh. Basically, they rocked, thanks to the little one. Piers says that the harmonica playing brother was great, and votes them through. Hoff does the same, and Brandy’s shiny hair follows suit. So, the Millers are through. After the first commercial break, we watch meet a contortionist by the name of Lilia. She shoots arrows with her feet in wacky positions. And hits the bullseye every time. Needless to say, she’s through. Afterwards, we here the “applause, please” cue, and we meet our first skeezy old guy that sings for this show. Get ready for... Shawn Crump. Yes people, this is like hearing Carmen Rassamussen’s voice get put through a blender and then spit back out. And, Shawn is walking back out, promising to be back. Next up is the most “dangerous” comic in the world, who sets a bowling ball on fire with knives in it and a scorpion down his pants and balances it on his face. Egads. Everyone wants to see what he’s got up his sleeve next time (which he says got him banned in three countries – yikes) and so he’s back next time. Regis calls out some more people, and after the break we meet Sharon. Ok – we know the drill. Old lady wearing strange outfit doing something slightly different = yikes. And, what does Sharon do? She calls birds. Of course, there aren’t any birds in the studio, so she’s... kind of talking to herself. It’s disasterous. All three judges X her, and so she’s gone. Following her is Taylor. Again, we know the drill – little girl that’s pretty, so she’s probably through. Except she doesn’t just sing – she yodels. Oh yes, she yodels. And she’s actually a pretty good yodeler. Add the ending note, which was spot on, and we’ve got ourselves another very good little kid singer/yodeler. Of course, she’s through. After her is Buster Balloon. We’ve already seen one balloon man on the first show. Will he be any better? Unfortunately, not really - his balloon breaks the first time that he attempts to step inside of it, getting a buzzer from Cowell II. After the act has been buzzed out, all of the judges say that they weren't too impressed and Piers says that the road has ended for Buster. I do believe that’s an exact quote from that other show on that other network that is nothing at all like America’s Got Talent. Go figure. Now where’s that annoying Daniel Powter song? The next contestant up is Flippy the Magnificent. He lifts a blow-up doll above his head. It’s quite tragic. Then he puts the blow doll in an inappropriate position, and the buzzers are x’d. Of course, everyone is disgusted, and so Flippy (who I think is a professional comedian) is off. Following him are Da Playaz Club [sic]. They’re a stepping group. Don’t worry, they do more than step – they can also clap and do other things. Although Piers doesn’t like it (silly brit, Stepping groups are for college kids), Brandy and Hoff put them through. After a break is The Laughing Yogi. It didn’t make me laugh at all, and there wasn’t really much to report about because he got X’d so quickly. Next! The following contestants are a magical act in which the woman changes clothes really quickly. Wow! Amazement! Although the changes start off a little bit lame, they start getting quite impressive quickly, and some of the changes just make you go “huh”? Brandy’s shaking her shiny hair in disbelief. Of course, she votes them through, as does Hoff, and so they’re in. And the show is over. And next week at 8:30 ET we actually get to vote! Sweet! Hopefully nobody will go for that silly old stripper... Do you have something to say about The Yogi or yodeler? Sign up and chat with us!
