America’s Got Talent 5: Portland Auditions Day One
Written by: MarianyaSign up to receive all the latest America's Got Talent 2010 News, Rumors and Updates.
Portland auditions… this is new, isn’t it? It was an interesting show overall… I did notice that one of the acts that passed through to Vegas actually auditioned in Chicago (I would know, I was there)… so knowing that kind of makes me wonder how much editing is there over all?
Just some food for thoughts.
As always the acts below are the ones that passed on to Vegas with any links that I was able to find right off the bat. If you have any information to add to the below feel free to either leave a comment or contact us.

I just wanted to pass along a website I found for Iron Horse. Thought you might want to add it.
Sally Cohn is intriguing, witty, and a spitfire. She should have her own reality show. Her genuine realness made her very endearing. I’m just saw her for the first time and I hope to see a lot more of her in the future. I’m a fan.
[...] weirdness. At least the parts that they decided to put on television. Marianya’s got all your freaky portland links too. Share and [...]
I noticed that before the the stated that it was the Portland auditions, they showed clips of “acts coming up!” and half of them were acts that were in chicago (I was there also), so i was pretty excited that the chicago episode was on, but was disappointed and confused when it was Portland.
Oh I know! And I was really disappointed that they only showed that little bit of Iron Horse in the episode.
I have to say. I was at the live portland auditions. The tiny talent audition was nothing like what was shown on TV. YES the chihuahuas were going around exploring the stage. That occurred only after the act was stopped by the trainer because her STAR TRAINED Chihuahua slipped because AGT did not have a dog friendly stage. He was hurt. The audience, and nick cannon urged the trainer to let the dogs out during a rendition of Who let the dogs out. What was shown on TV was the planned, unscripted release of the chihuahuas for comic relief. Her ACT was very professional. The injured dog stopped the act. By the way, nick chased two of the dogs of the stage and one was hurt and scared. I feel sorry for people who think the entertainment industry tells the whole story. Im sure the tiny talent trainer was appalled that the nation will think that what was aired was her act. It wasn’t even a part of her act. She quit well before the chihuahua release. She seemed very concerned about her injured animals. When we are talking about editing what about what they did above.
