Major Losses on America’s Got Talent – Tallan, Cari and The Spiritual Harmonizers
Written by: JohnSign up to receive all the latest America's Got Talent 2010 News, Rumors and Updates.
Yesterday I think that the America’s Got Talent world was rocked. My email box and America’s Got Talent twitter account have been slammed with people complaining about those sent home on yesterday’s episode of America’s Got Talent. So, I decided to pay a bit of homage to the three acts which keep coming up over and over.
Tallan Noble Latz
This was the biggest shock for me. He was the 9 year old electric guitarist who rocked the stage and was a pretty big fan favorite. What he was the most was memorable. I couldn’t believe it when he was sent home at the airport. Sadly, I think he was a memorable face and a casualty of America’s Got Talent wanting a bit of a shock factor. Jay Mattioli (magician) was a close second and Ciana Pelekai (little Hawaiian girl that sang) a close third. However, no one has been more revered (at least by fans of this site) than Tallan getting sent home.
Many are asking if anything can be done for Tallan to get back on the show. I think the simple answer is it’s far too late and there’s nothing we can do. Although, I got a short message on Twitter about Tallan performing somewhere else. If I get more details I’ll post them for Tallan fans.
Kari Callin
Kari was really America’s Got Talent trying to pull an American Susan Boyle. Instead, I think Kevin Skinner is going to fill that role. So, Kari had to go. However, many loved her, her story and her voice. I was never personally a big fan. She just wasn’t as good in her performance as above mentioned Susan Boyle. I personally think it would have been an injustice for Kari to go on with all the other great singing talent on the show. However, many people seem to disagree with me. Not really sure why.
The Spiritual Harmonizers
You might remember these post office singers. I loved these people’s stories and the front man was pretty good. However, when I think about the other group singing acts, I’m ok with them not going on. Maybe I’m also biased since I’ve seen some really incredible a capella groups. However, it was a bit of a shock for me that they didn’t make it since they’re story was such a good one.
In other quick hits…
Tony Ferrante couldn’t have left quicker for me. Glad he’s gone.
I was a little shocked the Texas Tenors made it to the top 40. Just seem average to me.
I can’t wait to see what else David Johnson brings. Although, I think it will be impossible for him to do better than his audition song about David Hasselhoff.
I’m still a big fan of G Force even if I’m biased since they first appeared on this site before they made it on the show.
Pete Peterkin is probably my only complaint in the America’s Got Talent top 40. He’s ok, but not great. I think he only made the AGT top 40 because there weren’t any other impressionists and the show needed just a little more variety.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the America’s Got Talent top 40 to start showing their stuff.

kurt,
Lucky you. Take some video of the event and post it to YouTube so I can post it on the site for all to see;-)
I saw Danny Gans, at the time the world’s greatest impressionist, give Pete Peterkin a standing ovation after Peterkin virtually channeled Jimi Hendrix playing “Purple Haze” at a “Back to Woodstock” show in Las Vegas. You should go on YouTube and see and hear Peterkin doing dead-on impressions of Ray Charles, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder, and others. It just might change your first impression of Pete Peterkin.
John, I agree with you on The Spiritual Harmonizers. I really enjoyed them and their story, but when it comes down to it, Mosaic blows them out of the water. Actually, Mosaic blows most a cappella groups out of the water too. I was surprised to see them on my TV, and then equally surprised to see how little time they got on the show. I serendipitously caught their act at a fundraiser last year. And I mean WOW — to put it mildly. Admittedly, I’m an a cappella fan, but seriously, these guys have INSANE TALENT. My jaw was on the ground. I really hope they go far so American can experience how much talent is out there. Not to mention, they are REALLY nice guys too. I got to talk to them for a bit, and I just couldn’t believe how funny, friendly, and humble they all were. I’m rooting for them. I hope other people do to.
Dan Fallon,
Thanks for pointing it out. I must admit that I wasn’t that big of a fan of Danny Gans either (RIP), but he held a show in Las Vegas for a while so what do I know;-)
Maybe it’s just impressionists that aren’t my thing. Although, I absolutely adored Terry Fator’s show. One of the best nights of entertainment I’ve had. I’ll keep a little more open mind to Pete Peterkin when he performs. He just better bring it since they only give them such a short time to perform on AGT.
Thanks for pointing this out for me.
Alicia,
I went to college where they had some insane a capella talent (won national competitions and all that) and so maybe I’m a bit biased as well. Plus, I’m sure the show only wanted so many a capella groups in the AGT top 40.
Gordon commented on August 11, 2009 :
We heard The Texas Tenors aboard the cruise ship Prinsendam in April . These three tenors compliment each other and balance their performances in a most professional way. Their repertoire, range of style and knowledge of music ( not noise ) is well presented. With such a short time on AGT , most people do not get to hear what TTT can really do. We were on the cruise for 50 days . . . Each night there was a new show . .. BUT judging from the applause THE TEXAS TENORS heard the MOST clapping , whistling and shouting after their performance . . .
Did you just say a 50 day cruise? Wow, that’s a long cruise, or maybe it was a typo and you meant a 5 day cruise.
Good to hear. I guess the only question is whether they are a huge act or if they are cruise ship entertainment.
With all the crappy talent sent on its a crime these groups didnt go through. What would you rather watch, a group of transvestite lip singers or a talent vocal group. Its not a talent show anymore as much as a who can suck the least. There are some exceptions of course. I enjoy Drew Thomas Magic and a few singers. But I thought the Spiritual Harmonizers or the boy could go far.
Also I began to root for Mosaic as well but then they got cut. Im tired of seeing people get Xd every night. Maybe next year will be better.
Thanks Dan
Oh yes …to the knit wit writing these articles…..you should probably have a look at my videos on Youtube before deciding if I’m great or not.
I happen to be one of the most respected entertainers in the world …and I’m getting a little tired of seeing your idiotic statements about me pop up everytime my name is Googled…ya know?
FYI; There are a lot of things that can go wrong behind the scenes when you’re doing a minute and a half performance on live TV. ( Like entry doors not opening and other things that I am legally not at liberty to write about.)
So after you humble yourself and do a little research on me I would expect you to delete your negative opinions about my ability. You don’t have to like me as a person I just want you to know what the hell you’re talking about…understand??
Thanks for stopping by Pete. However, let me get this right. You come to a site that didn’t have good things to say about you and you want them to change it. In order to accomplish that, you call the person a “knit wit” and their statements idiotic. Then you tell them to humble themselves after you ironically claim to be one of the most respected entertainers in the world.
Yeah, I think that’s just about the worst way that you could get me to change or update something. Plus, if you are one of the most respected entertainers in the world, then what were you doing on America’s Got Talent? Not to mention, why would my relatively short comment about Pete Peterkin be such a problem?
Plus, there just aren’t that many people searching Google for Pete Peterkin. I see the stats and don’t remember you’re name coming up…well…ever. This site isn’t even listed in the top 10 for your name. However, I appreciate you commenting since now it will likely improve this page for Pete Peterkin on Google.
Depending on how much time I have, I will check out some of your other performances. However, I’ll express my opinions just as honestly there as I did in the above post. Should be interesting to see if you can change them or not.
