America's Got Talent 6

NEW YORK AUDITIONS 2
The acts going to Las Vegas were:
Smage Brothers riding Show – Phil and Pat plus an assistant ride motorcycles on stage doing wheelies front and back, up and down a steep ramp and jumping over the assistant
Sally Gould Dancers, about 12 girls age 11-13
Dylan Andre – singer/guitarist doing Hallelujah
Leonid the Magnificent – he was on AGT1, but has a new quick change act show with singing; I thought he was pretty interesting; the vote was 2-1 for, with Piers dissenting
Rachel Zamstein – singer of her own songs plus electric guitarist; the vote was 2-1 with Howie dissenting (thanks franxaverian)
Narcissister – a person with a face front and back plus another when upside down; truly a unique and interesting act
Sam B – an energetic hip hop dance routine; Piers called it “brilliantly terrible.”
Shemika Charles - woman's world limbo record holder, but what does she do for an encore?
The only act worthy of making the final 10 is Shemika Charles, but that assumes that she makes it to the final 10, which I think will be difficult because what she does lacks sufficient variety for 5 episodes.

DENVER AUDITIONS
Acts going on to Las Vegas were:
Fatally Unique Dance Team
Ian Johnson, yoyos
Tricky Jackson, strutting around the stage in a body-building pose while flexing his pectoral muscles in a unique way (but what does he do for an encore)
Taylor Davis, singer/guitarist
Cindy Chang (age 42 housewife) - sang Puccini aria with heavy vibrato in lower register and very nicely in higher register; the judges loved it but they are obviously not sophisticated about opera singers
Flores Family Globe of Death - I would hardly call it that, but for this initial outing which impressed the audience and all judges, the 8 and 13 year olds in the family performed with their father standing on the bottom of the stage globe. Asked about what they would do for an encore, he said that he rides too and so does his wife. They can fit all 4 Flores Family members into the same globe. That will be especially interesting to see.
I add these 2 that I saw but somehow missed writing about:
Mike Stone and the Kritikal Band - 3 male musician and 3 female singers.
Fantastic Fig(age 76) - Illusionist with card trick
I think the Flores Family act is going to the final 10. Cindy Chang is iffy but may make it that far. Nobody else has any chance. That makes 10 quality acts for the final 10. I think there is one more audition show next week before the Las Vegas shows begin next week.

No, it's not Minneapolis. It might be Houston(Piers was carrying a sign saying 'Houston loves Howie'. I actually want to compare Cindy with Lys Agnes(The retail girl who sang 'Ave Maria' fantastically) but I can't find her in your recap so I'll try my best to make one.
There's some other performers who got into next round from Houston(?):
Mike Stone and the Kritikal Band --> A band with 3 male musician and 3 female singing. Piers buzzed but after the buzz, he said he enjoy the performance more
Fantastic Fig(age 76) --> Magician with card trick
franxaverian:
@Apskip: Here's the one that you miss. Minneapolis, where Piers is stuck in blizzard for almost half of the show. 1 'No' means not going through.
The acts that going to the next round(without Piers):
1. Echo of Animal gardens with Sarah Hoff, its trainer --> bird that can talk, imitates other animal's sound, makes impressions and sing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0gkjJLlVk
2. Mrs Smith --> Performance artist, one who acts like a rocker version of 'Mrs. Doubtfire'
3. St. Lukes Bottle band --> playing music with different kinds of bottles
4. Halls of Magic --> magician
5. Lys Agnes (27) --> a young female who used to work in retail, singing 'Ave Maria' with a really fantastic voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drPurxAjBis
6. Viva La Muerte --> a dancing small woman, performance artist
The acts that going to the next round(with Piers):
1. Those Funny Little People --> Variety Act, dressed as gnomes
2. Silhouettes --> as stated by the name.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpaCahFmruM
3. Kinetic King --> Making Chain-reaction structure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4YT8BuN7Mw&feature=related
Apskip, I think you have to consider Lys, Silhouettes and Kinetic King for your top 10 :lol:. They are worthy contenders to be considered. hehehe. I just love Kinetic King for his short 'arrogant' answer.

franxaverian,
I somehow missed having my writing for the first Minneapolis round make it into a recap. I have gone back and added it as part of the Houston episode where it actually was. Thank you for giving me the heads-up that I was missing something. Unfortunately, my judgment on acts worthy of the final 10 does not match yours. I did add The Kinetic King who is in fact my overall favorite in AGT6. However, Lys Agnes has a nice voice but not good enough to make the final 10. Also, I found Silhouette a bit juvenile (no surprise so it's composed of 36 kids). they will not be in the final 10 in my opinion. See my final 10 list excluding any I might want to add next week to replace Professor Splash:
Kinetic King
Team iLuminate
Zuma Zuma
Miami All Stars
Sandou Russian Bar Trio
Professor Splash
Snap Boogie
Michael Turco
Landau
Flores Family Globes of Death
