America's Got Talent 6
apskip:
I will be missing two weeks of Hollywood rounds. Since AGT6 will be almost over by the time I return, I will appreciate anyone doing the recaps for that period.

AGT Season 6 Hollywood Round Week 1
1. Miami All Stars (Dance Group).
Their rehearsed song was not in the song list for legal reasons but they are still fabulous. The judges loved them.
2. Dezmond Meeks (Male Singer).
Singing 'Satisfaction' cabaret-style. Sharon and Howie thought that he sang it cheesy but Piers loved that style.
3. Those Funny Little People (Novelty act).
Singing 'Singing in the Rain' and 'It's Raining Men'. Piers buzzed them. Howie and Sharon liked the act
4. Fearless Flores Family (Danger)
3 motorcycles circling the 'globe of death'. They got praise from the judges
5. Squonk Opera (Opera Singers)
They perform their own song. Buzzed by Piers and Sharon. Piers gave them harsh criticism.
6. J.Chris Newberg (Comedian/Musician)
Sing his own written song, verses of jokes with chorus sang by some bearded children. Buzzed by Piers.
7. Snap Boogie (Dancer)
If anyone watched last season of 'Haspop', it is similar. Unique dance. Judges loved him.
8. Echo of the Animal Gardens (Talking Bird Act)
Just almost similar to a repeat of the initial audition with the help of Echo's girlfriend. Howie questioned the act about his worthiness.
9. The Fiddleheads (Bluegrass Band)
Singing 'Billie Jean'. All judges didn't like the song choice while Sharon didn't like the costume that was chosen by the production team)
10. Duo Aero (Acrobatics/Trapeze Act)
Buzzed by Piers, deemed too safe. Howie thought that it was not as exciting as before.
11. Anna Graceman
Sang 'What A Wonderful World' while playing piano. All judges loved her.
12. Sandou Trio Russian Bar
Russian Bar over bed of spikes lit with fire.

Guest performance by Avril Lavigne & the cast members of Broadway musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
These are the group calls(Acts advancing to semifinal in bold):
1st Group Call: Snap Boogie, Fearless Flores Family and Duo Aero
Piers showed disappointment that either one of FFF or Snap Boogie will be eliminated.
2nd Group Call: Sandou Russian Bar Trio, J. Chris Newberg, Squonk Opera
Howie declared that it's obvious that Sandou will advance
3rd Group Call: Echo, Anna Graceman, Dezmond Meeks
Sharon thought that it's either Anna or Dezmond.
Last Group Call: Those Funny Little People, The Fiddleheads, Miami All Stars
Those Funny Little People was eliminated first and Piers was ecstatic about this.
Fiddleheads and Miami All Stars were the 4th and 5th placer. Sharon and Piers voted for Miami All Stars to advance.
apskip:
Thanks to franxaverian for doing the first week recap of AGT6 semi-finals. I would like to clarify one point, which is that Piers, Howie and Sharon have no voting responsibilities from the semi-finals through to the finale. They only can comment on the acts. I had rated the acts as follows:
Miami All-Stars A
Dezmond Meeks A-
Those Funny Little People B
Fearless Flores Family A-
Squonk Opera B+
J. Chris Newberg B
Snap Boogie A-
Echo of Animal Gardens B+
Fiddleheads B+ (note – the non-voting judges had 3 vastly different opinions of this act, none good)
Duo Aero B
Anna Graceman B+
Sandou Russian Bar Trio A+
My conclusions from the above were that Sandou Russian Bar Trio and Miami All-Stars should advance without question and the other 2 spots would be filled from Dezmond Meeks, Fearless Flores Family and Snap Boogie. The shortcomings of Those Funny Little People, J. Chris Newberg and Duo aero were exposed for all to see.
America voted to send the first two plus Snap Boogie forward plus Anna Graceman, who I don't evaluate as having great talent but the American public is always a sucker in America's Got Talent for cute little female singers.
apskip:
HOLLYWOOD Semifinals round 2 of 4
Attack Dance Crew A-
Dani Shay B+
Geechy Guy B
Daniel Joseph Baker B+
Rhinestone Ropers B
Dylan Andre B
Landon Swank A-
Smage Brothers riding Shows B+
Thomas John B
Steven Retchless B+ (note he performed in ballet toe shoes, not spike heels, which was probably a good decision given the way the American public would likely have felt about the latter)
Mona Lisa B+
Silhouettes A
My prediction was that Silhouettes, Attack Dance Crew, Landon Swank and one of my B+ rated acts would advance. Again, the shortcomings of several acts were exposed, specifically Geechy guy, Rhinestone Ropers, Dylan Andre and Thomas John. The voting results were organized as follows:
Rhinestone Ropers, Silhouettes, Thomas John – Silhouettes
Steven Retchless, Geechy Guy, Attack Dance Crew – Steven Retchless
Dylan Andre, Daniel Joseph Baker, Dani Shay – Daniel Joseph Baker
Landon Swank, Mona Lisa, Smage Brothers riding Shows - Smage Brothers
