Yay Chicago Auditions! It’s ABOUT TIME!

So even though lately I’ve been doing just the acts that made it to Vegas… I figured a little commentary would be nice for you guys to see the changes in editing that has happened.

I will provide commentary on those acts that I have already seen… as well as a link to the original post that would then lead to other links that you may be interested in for that act. If this is a new act that I have yet to see I will provide links here and no commentary.

Zach Carty – No to Vegas

OMG they are starting with THIS guy. He was the very last guy I saw on the second night of tapings as notated by the link, though I never provided a name. He never got a chance to really try out his “talent” not like I would have liked to have seen it.

Strikers All Stars – Yes to Vegas
- PureAGT Post
There is already a post of these guys on the site. =) Click on the link to find out more. They did a little ditty about one of the guys being Haitian, I suppose since they already had a huge Haitian group audition having him talk would be overkill? Seeing them perform via television is definitely different than seeing it live… I prefer live. They cut out a lot of the commentary though, Piers didn’t like the mix of tumbling and dancing, they made it sound like he enjoyed it more than he did when I was there.

This was a group that I enjoyed listening to, though the judges weren’t so quick to send them through… ah well.

Naishon Jones – Yes to Vegas

The Spellbinder – No to Vegas
- PureAGT Post
Ah yes, the Spellbinder, this was another guy I got to see… They cut down his routine very short… because Howie’s “spell bound” comment was in reference to the fact that the Spellbinder quickly changed the handkerchief into one dove and then created a second dove from that… which was oddly cut from clip.

Tom Zemke – No to Vegas
- PureAGT Post
NOOOOOO, it’s engineers like him that give engineers like me a bad name

Laura Ernst – No to Vegas

- MySpace Page
- YouTube Channel

Buddy Howie Cheesehead – No to Vegas

Carlos Aponte – Yes to Vegas
- PureAGT Post
Carlos! I loved this guy… I gave him a standing ovation… =) Look at the link, he’s the first one in the list. They didn’t do the “Howie translation” that was funny.

Polina Volchek – Yes to Vegas
- PureAGT Post
She is the second in the post linked. This was pretty impressive. But if you watch rhythmic gymnastics like I do then you’ve seen them all.

John Beatty – Yes to Vegas

Debra Romer – Yes to Vegas

- MySpace Page
She’s the second one of the link posted. To me she has a bit of an angelic voice that I really liked… and still liked with the broadcast.

The America’s Got Talent YouTube auditions are now open for voting. You can find them here. I’ve also been notified by 2 people that read this site that that are part of the voting. Later tonight or tomorrow I’ll be posting about them so you can support them. If there are any other readers of this site that made it to the YouTube voting, let me know. We need someone from this site to win the competition!!

Quite a few people have been asking me questions about the music for America’s Got Talent season 5. Unfortunately, the PR people for the show haven’t sent me the music this year. Luckily, Marianya is the human juke box and so she’s working to put together a list of music that was used on America’s Got Talent 2010. She’s hoping to post it this weekend.

While Marianya is great, feel free to leave a comment if you know some of the music that was used on America’s Got Talent season 5. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, you can watch for Marianya’s AGT music post here or subscribe to the Pure America’s Got Talent email.

For those who might have missed last night’s America’s Got Talent (maybe you were watching So You Think You Can Dance instead), here’s the full streaming video of America’s Got Talent Week 4 night 2 episode. One more night for Portland to shine, or something like that. If you’re looking for more information on specific acts, check out Marianya’s America’s Got Talent Portland Auditions post. Otherwise, enjoy the show!
