Welcome to Pure America’s Got Talent

This was without a doubt the absolute best quarterfinals performance of America’s Got Talent history. What kind of pisses me off is that I think that the producers did this on purpose to add to the drama. It’s just unfortunate, since a dog act went through last week and so many incredibly talented groups below got sent home. Ok, I’m glad I got that off my chest.

Now on to an analysis of the pairings and who was sent home.

Jeffrey Ou won over Bri
This was the heartbreak of the night. No one wanted Jeffrey Ou to go home since he had technical difficulties that made it seem unfair. However, Bri did a nice performance too. I think Bri has a good future. Piers was right about her being kind of like a Katy Perry or Amy Whinehouse(sp?). Bri just needs the right opportunity. Too bad it wasn’t America’s Got Talent. That said, I’m happy to see Jeffrey Ou perform again.

Lawrence Beamen won over Jay Mattioli and Dave Johnson
This was the least amount of surprise for the night. Dave Johnson choked. Jay was a bit amateurish. I still say Lawrence Beamen is overrated.

Mario and Jenny won over Marcus and the Serenades
I was happy about this one. Marcus kind of disappointed me. The Serenades were still horrible and I think it was the wrong song to show off Marcus’ talents. I don’t know why I like Jenny so much. Maybe it’s just how hard she tries to perform that I love. I like passion and heart and she has it. I’m not sure where Mario and Jenny go from here though. Should be fun to see. They definitely have vegas in them though.

Hairo Torres won over GForce and U4ria
I was really fine with Hairo Torres and GForce going through. I was sad that one couldn’t go through. I would have preferred GForce, but I’ll enjoy seeing Hairo again too. U4ria was good, but as I predicted too weird for America.

FootworKINGz got picked over Pixie Mystere
I was a little disappointed in the judges pick here. They based it on Pixie’s future. Come on. Base it on talent. Pixie had more talent and had a greater potential as a Las Vegas show. I’d love to see FootworKINGz for a nice 30 minute stop, but not more. It got far too repetitive for me and basically boring after a little while.

Time to take a look at the America’s Got Talent 2009 top 40 second elimination episode. I’ll post the video for each elimination and then put a few comments about the elimination. Considering last night was a really weird awkward and down night, tonight’s elimination was about the same.

I was scared about this one because so many people had lamented the Beale Street Flippers not making it to the top 40, but luckily America got this one totally right. I was so happy for the five mormon women in the Fab Five!!

I think this elimination could have gone either way, but the Texas Tenors made one great decision: They chose the right front man for the group. Voting on reality TV shows is dominated by women and he won over a lot of women’s hearts I’m sure. I think I would have taken Pete, but I didn’t really care for either act, so whatever.

I actually kind of hoped that Voices of Glory would get sent home. Yes, I’m sure I’ll get beaten with a wet noodle, but I think they’re way overrated. Sharon was right that the little girl needs to just take it over. Eleisha Miller just made me laugh so I wanted her to stay for more.

Paradizo was basically called the best of the worst in this group. I’m just still reeling that Alizma totally screwed themselves. I’m disappointed with them. I can’t believe there such idiots. Paradizo doesn’t have a real place in Las Vegas. However, they were fun to watch and so I’m happy they made it.

Of course, this is the controversy of the night. I’d be so upset if I was Charles DeWayne Dorsey. Sharon and Hoff just showed their true colors. They haven’t added any value to the show all season and now they’ve made the stupidest decision ever on America’s Got Talent. Piers is so dead on that they made a bad decision and “the biggest scandal in the history of America’s Got Talent.” However, I think that’s exactly why Sharon did what she did.

Oh well, glad to have this week out of the way. The Fab Five were the only memorable group from this week. Otherwise, they can all go home for all I care.

If you’re like me, then you’re really sad to have the Russian Bar Trio get injured and unable to continue with the show. Here’s a link to see a video of the Russian Bar Trio. With such talent, it’s sad to see them not be able to continue on with the show. I hope that they either come back for the finale of America’s Got Talent or come back to compete on the show next year.

Since the Russian Bar Trio couldn’t continue on, America was given the chance to vote for the “wildcard” act that will be the last member of the America’s Got Talent Top 40.

Here’s your chance for your favorite AGT wildcard act:
