AGT Season 5 Auditions | Pure America's Got Talent

America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Set Video

I was really lucky to get the chance to be at the Live taping of the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas auditions. Of course, they swore me to secrecy, but shortly I’ll be able to reveal various things that I saw and heard at the auditions. I just wish I could have gone to more of it.

That said, I did get this short video of the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas set that I thought readers of this site would enjoy. No spoilers in this video. I don’t want to get in trouble and I want to be able to go in the future. However, it will give you a feel for what it looks like.

Plus, the place that I shot the video was actually where the family of the acts would sit and watch their family members perform. They were sworn to silence during the taping (as was I), but you could see the emotions on the families faces and in their reactions. I’ll tell more about this once you see some of the AGT Las Vegas acts. Enjoy the video:

America’s Got Talent 5: Chicago Auditions

Yay Chicago Auditions! It’s ABOUT TIME!

So even though lately I’ve been doing just the acts that made it to Vegas… I figured a little commentary would be nice for you guys to see the changes in editing that has happened.

I will provide commentary on those acts that I have already seen… as well as a link to the original post that would then lead to other links that you may be interested in for that act. If this is a new act that I have yet to see I will provide links here and no commentary.

Zach Carty – No to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
OMG they are starting with THIS guy. He was the very last guy I saw on the second night of tapings as notated by the link, though I never provided a name. He never got a chance to really try out his “talent” not like I would have liked to have seen it.

Strikers All Stars – Yes to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
There is already a post of these guys on the site. =) Click on the link to find out more. They did a little ditty about one of the guys being Haitian, I suppose since they already had a huge Haitian group audition having him talk would be overkill? Seeing them perform via television is definitely different than seeing it live… I prefer live. They cut out a lot of the commentary though, Piers didn’t like the mix of tumbling and dancing, they made it sound like he enjoyed it more than he did when I was there.

Gentlemen of N.U.C.O. – Yes to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
This was a group that I enjoyed listening to, though the judges weren’t so quick to send them through… ah well.

NU Covenant – Yes to Vegas
– Facebook Page

Naishon Jones – Yes to Vegas
– MySpace Page

The Spellbinder – No to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
Ah yes, the Spellbinder, this was another guy I got to see… They cut down his routine very short… because Howie’s “spell bound” comment was in reference to the fact that the Spellbinder quickly changed the handkerchief into one dove and then created a second dove from that… which was oddly cut from clip.

Tom Zemke – No to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
NOOOOOO, it’s engineers like him that give engineers like me a bad name 🙁

Laura Ernst – No to Vegas
– Facebook Page
– MySpace Page
– YouTube Channel

Buddy Howie Cheesehead – No to Vegas

Carlos Aponte – Yes to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
Carlos! I loved this guy… I gave him a standing ovation… =) Look at the link, he’s the first one in the list. They didn’t do the “Howie translation” that was funny.

Polina Volchek – Yes to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
She is the second in the post linked. This was pretty impressive. But if you watch rhythmic gymnastics like I do then you’ve seen them all.

John Beatty – Yes to Vegas

Debra Romer – Yes to Vegas
– PureAGT Post
– Facebook Page
– MySpace Page
She’s the second one of the link posted. To me she has a bit of an angelic voice that I really liked… and still liked with the broadcast.
