PureAGT Season 8 – Roster for 2nd Live Show Airing July 30
I’m sure Nick will annouce the acts for next week’s show at the end of the results show tonight, but so far we know a few of the acts we’ll be seeing next week:
Ciana also tweeted that she just arrived in New York a few hours ago, so it looks like all of the week 2 acts are making their way there now…
According to Marty Brown’s Facebook, he also arrived in New York last night; and according to Brad Byers’ website, he will be performing at RCMH next Tuesday.
UPDATED: Here’s the complete roster for next week, announced by Nick at the end of this week’s results show.
Ciana Pelekai (child singer)
Tone the Chiefrocca (rapper)
Marty Brown (country singer)
Brad Byers (sword swallower)
Struck Boyz (child hip-hop group)
Forte (opera trio)
Aquanauts (synchronized swimmers)
Angela Hoover (comedic impressionist)
Alexander Magala (sword-swallowing dancer/aerialist)
Kid the Wiz (hat trick dancer)
Dave Shirley (comedian)
Innovative Force (dance/acrobatics group)
Well, I think it’s safe to say that Forte has one of the 4 spots in the semifinals on lock – and I think Marty Brown probably has one, too. Will be interesting to see who gets the other two…I’m personally rooting for Tone and maybe Ciana too, but I don’t really feel particularly strongly about this group of acts. The one interesting act here? Aquanauts, who we did not see at all in Vegas – which tells me that some other act that DID make it through to the live shows had to withdraw. Hmmm…wonder who it could be. What do you guys think of next week’s acts?
3 Penny Chorus and Orchestra(my favorite act) posted on their Face Book page that they will be performing on the 4th live show airing August 13.
Not nearly as strong a group as this past weeek’s, but who knows? With the strong group struggling as a whole, maybe these guys will surprise us.
Forte is definitely my favorite out of this group and I think they’re probably going to get through just fine. I really like Marty and Ciana too, and I think both have a good shot. Tone is all kinds of fun and I think he could do really well.
I’m thinking that Alex Megala could end up outdoing Brad and getting more votes, or at least I hope so. As much as sword swallowing creeps me out, I think Alex is pretty great. Aquanuts will be interesting indeed. I really like Angela and I’d like to see her do well.
I can’t say Struck Boyz, Kid the Wiz, and Dave Shirley are the strongest of acts and I think they’ll probably be the ones most likely to go.
We did not see Aquanuts in Vegas because they were one of the thirty who passed through automatically. Nothing odd there.
I think Forte(one of my favorite acts) and Marty brown will go through.
I don’t think so, Raphy – they were not one of the automatic decision acts. Those 30 had already been identified, and Aquanauts weren’t one of them. Go back and watch the Vegas episode again.
While we’re on the topic – I also checked to see if Milton Patton was in the group that had to perform in Vegas (as you had said), and I did not see him next to Marty Brown. I think you are confusing Milton with Travis Pratt.
@Will – I do think it’s a bit telling that they put both Brad and Alex in the same live show round – I think it sends a clear message that there’s only room for one of them. I think Alex is far more fun to watch than Brad…and a fun fact about Brad: he’s actually been on AGT before, back in season 4.
Actually, I rematches the first results video and counted 29 acts passing through automatically
1. Catapault entertainment
2. Fresh Faces
3. Sprice
4. Tone the Chiefrocca
5. Anna Christine
6. Kenchini
7. Alexanderia the Great
8. Dave Shirley
9. Innovative Force
10. Mitisi Dancing School
11. Jimmy Rose
12. Tummy Talk
13. Aerial Ice
14. Kelsey and Bailey
15. Chicago Boyz
16. American military Spouses Choir
17. 3Penny Chorus and orchestra
18. VSU Chorale
19 Jim Meskiman
20. Angela Hoover
21. David Weathers
22. Kevin Downey Jr.
23. The Struck Boyz
24. Branden James
25.SensEtion
26.TellAVision
27. Aerosphere
28. The Robotix
29. Spintacular/Champions Forever
The AquaNuts were the missing Act.
I meant “Rewatched”, not “Rematched”, but the point still stands. 30 acts advanced automatically, but we only saw 29, and the Aquanuts are the missing act.
Brandon and savannah are going to be on the 3rd live shows
Who was the artist/song that Kid The Wiz danced to?
So Struck Boyz. I didn’t like them to begin with, and after tonight’s performance, I’ve grown a massive loathing for them. You’ll hear people complaining about the young girls sexing up their acts too much, and then when something like this turns up, it’s nothing but women screaming. Howard Stern’s take on what they did was right on the money.
