Welcome to Pure America's Got Talent

I don’t know this to be true yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if probably my favorite act from last year returned to America’s Got Talent 2009.  That act is the Russian Bar Trio!  If you don’t remember them, then you must not have ever seen them before.  They are just unforgettable.  So, for those that have never seen the Russian Bar Trio, check out their audition on last season’s America’s Got Talent:

Of course, many may ask why they’ll come back again this year if they were on last season. The answer is simple. Last season, Christine, the Russian Bar Trio girl got injured and so the Russian Bar Trio had to pull out of the competition. It just makes sense that America’s Got Talent would give them another chance.

The only reason I think they might not return to America’s Got Talent is if they’ve gotten too big and successful for the show. Check out this comment I found on their website which makes it looks like they may be working for Cirque du Soleil now and so they wouldn’t be able to be on the show.

Christine is back on the bar after 3 month and a half recovering. She is stronger than ever. You are welcome to come see us on the Cirque du Soleil Show for the 400 years of Quebec City. It will be at the Colisé Pepsi on october 17th-18th-19th.

Well, either way, the Russian Bar Trio will remain near or at the top of my list of most talented America’s Got Talent performers ever. It would have been really interesting to see how America would have voted for them compared to the other finalists. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to see it, and I hope that America’s Got Talent brings them back this year.

In the meantime, check out a rather recent performance by the Russian Bar Trio at what looks like a Michigan basketball game:

Makes me wonder why UNLV doesn’t convince Cirque du Soleil performers to come and perform at halftime for UNLV games, but I digress.

Anyone have news on if the Russian Bar Trio could possibly be back on America’s Got Talent season 4?

In one of Piers finest (and jerkiest) moments on the show, he buzzes the plate spinning Liang Patti at the most opportune time. Her reaction after almost makes you cry for her. I’d love to see Liang do this live. I can’t imagine spinning 1 pate on a stick. Forget about spinning 8 at the same time. Ok, enjoy this flashback to season 2 of America’s Got Talent:

I’m always interested in the music that is used on America’s Got Talent. I believe that the song Liang Patti used is called Farfraes Dance by Tom Toomey from South Africa Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I’m not 100% sure, but you can also listen to Tom Toomey and the Monfi Casts perform it live in this video:

Butterscotch is one of the most memorable performers from America’s Got Talent for me. I just really liked her personality and that she brought beatboxing into my world. I’d never really seen it like she did on the show. I had the same reaction as Piers when I first saw it. I’m still amazed by the sound one little girl can produce. Enjoy a flashback of Butterscotch on AGT.
