America’s Got Talent Seven 7: Vegas Week

This week there are three days of America’s Got Talent at 8:00pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

At the top of Vegas Week the judges have separated the acts into two primary groups:
- Judges Favorites: are the acts that the judges believe have the best chance to succeed on the live shows
- Standbys: are the acts the judges are unsure about and will see them if there are slots available after the Judges Favorites have gone through

Anyone whose name is not found under the two groups mentioned above they would not perform in Vegas and would be going straight home that day. The catch is with that though is that some acts that do not have a chance to prove their worth at all while there will be some others that were given a free pass to the Live Shows in New York. The acts that we will definitely see in the Live Shows include:
- William Close: Earth Harp
- Olate Dogs: Dog Act
- David “the Bullet” Smith: Human Cannonball

While the Judges Favorites are performing the Standbys are required to sit in the audience and watch what happens. What I found to be interesting is that people are crumbling left and right. I am not used to seeing that for America’s Got Talent, but a major part of that could be how the show is being edited to evoke maximum drama within a one-hour show.

On Wednesday / Thursday I will post who made the Top 48 Acts (well now 45 since 3 acts got a free pass to New York) that are moving on to the Live Shows in New York, I will also attempt to breakdown who came from which group / category so we can see how they all panned out.

The Olate Dogs Act Wow Howie, Sharon and Move Forward on America’s Got Talent 2012

The Olate Dogs. This was an act on America’s Got Talent 2012 I was hesitant about before it began, but in the end, was pleasantly surprised. Here’s the audition:

The judges (and audience) seemed to be very impressed. Howie and Sharon both said it was the most amazing animal act they had ever seen. I decided to do a bit of searching to find the story behind the Olate Dogs. The appearance on America’s Got Talent isn’t the first time they’ve been seen, that’s for sure.

Richard and Rebecca Olate run dog housing in Houston, Texas, and Richard trains and creates entertaining shows with some of the dogs. He has been featured on shows like the Today Show, Regis and Kelly, and 60 Minutes. In addition, The Olates have traveled around the world, performing in circuses and other performances.

As I perused in the Internet and their Facebook page, I found them to already have tons of adoring fans. To put it simply, they are pretty popular. I think the act tonight was pretty cool, and I look forward to seeing how far they make it to AGT. Have any of you seen them perform? Do you think this is a million dollar act?

AGT New York Auditions Night #1: Talent in Tweets

Well, the third night of auditions has come and gone. Did you see anyone or group that was particularly talented? I think there were a few winning acts. Here’s some of my thoughts from night one of the New York Auditions!

"This is the most amazing animal act I have ever seen" @ #AGT
@pureagt
Pure AGT

I admit, animal acts always have me nervous. But those dogs were amazing. My husband happened to glance over during that act and seemed pretty enthralled by it. The judges seemed very impressed, so I’m guessing (and hoping) this act goes far!

"The truth is, I'm the judge America listens to. Whose stage is this?" @ A little egotistical? Though it's true. #AGT
@pureagt
Pure AGT

This remark that Howard made in response to Howie made me laugh. He does have a point!

I'm not so sure if this is a family friendly talent... But I guess it's impressive. #AGT He did get Howie and Howard to stand #AGT
@pureagt
Pure AGT

A man named Horse. He started the act by claiming he has a one-of-a-kind talent and that he had two beautiful daughters. Well, after he showed his talent, I have to agree with the judge (don’t remember who) who said he won’t be having anymore daughters. This was one of the weirdest talents I have seen. Do I think he will win? Not a chance. He was right when he said it was one-of-a-kind. But I really wasn’t a fan.

I wonder if Nick Cannon has always wanted to do that to someone and not get beat up for it #AGT
@pureagt
Pure AGT

You know he has.

"it come together to be one of the glorious moments we've had on AGT this season" #AGT #HowieMandel
@pureagt
Pure AGT

I apologize for the incorrect verb tense in this tweet, but that is beside the point. But this was in response to the Wordspit the illest. I’ll be the first to admit, this group doesn’t perform my favorite kind of music, but it was impressive. I really think this will go far.

Whatcha gonna do. This could be the next "Pants on the Ground" phenomena. #AGT It might be a hit, Howard is right.
@pureagt
Pure AGT

First Granny G . . . now Burton Crane? What’s up with these old people rappers. Oh well. They are pretty entertaining, and I have been singing “Whatcha gonna do” the rest of the night. He grew on me pretty quickly.

Wordspit, the illest Impresses AGT Judges and Audiences in New York Auditions

One of the best America’s Got Talent acts of the night? Wordspit, the illest! At least in my opinion. And from what the AGT judges said, I know I’m not in the minority for thinking that.

In case you missed it…Here’s the audition:


I love that they actually have instruments involved. I think this is a highly talented group of people.

So what’s the story behind Wordspit, the Illest?

Well, Wordspit is the main artist in the group. He was born in Brooklyn and discovered a love for writing lyrics in the third grade. Since then, he has continue to grow in his talent and eventually combined his talents with those who auditioned with him on America’s Got Talent. Wordspit has recently gained more fame when his talent was featured in McDonald’s television and radio campaign. There is quite a bit of Wordspit’s music (as well as Wordspit, the illest!) floating throughout the Internet, and I think this is definitely not the last we will see of him. What did you think of them?
