America’s Got Talent returns with more acts trying to make it on the show. We return to Atlanta, Georgia for like the fifth time but hey who is counting. First up was a guy who looked like a security guard who had an odd talent. He sang opera….. just like a women. She, I mean he, got three Xs from the judges since they wanted him to sing like a man. Next up was a young girl who performed with her dad. The duo performed some sort of karate act with the girl beating up the dad. She flipped and performed other stunts, even after getting an X fro Piers mid way. Piers gave her a no while David gave her a yes. Sharon was the deciding vote and moved her on to Vegas.

Being in Atlanta we were bound to have a few country singers. Sarah was the first in the bunch and she was a bit plain but sang well. The three judges loved her and said she had talent, moving her onto Vegas to pursue her country career. A few others then moved on in a quick recap. A fire act, a pole dancer and some tribal dancers moved on to Vegas. A dance troupe who were all family were then up. They performed well together and the judges felt they had great energy. The judges loved them of course and they moved along to Vegas as well.

Auditions then move back to New York for even more excitement. The James Gang was the first to perform and they seemed promising. The group sang some jazz but more contemporary and danced around. It was rather entertaining and the judges agreed as all three moved them on with a yes to Vegas. A  young girl was up next who was adopted from China. She’s a contortionist and at 11 she’s pretty amazing at it! Everyone loved the girl and thank God she moved on to the next round of the show!

Two polka dancers were up next. It was a bit odd to see them bouncy around but hey whatever they do to keep them happy. The audience hated it and all three judges Xed them at the same time. None of the judges let them go through along with the next few acts. A strange singing guy, a ventriloquist and three strange singing ladies rounded off the crazies who obviously wouldn’t go on to Vegas.

The last act was the one they’ve been promoing all week with the judges and audience crying. Kyle is an R&B singer who had to sing to provide for him family. He teared up before singing but sounded great and shows he’s dedicated his life to singing. The crowd went crazy when he finished along with the judges. If everyone wasn’t crying they sure started when his mom rushed the stage. Jerry even shed a tear as they passed Kyle onto Vegas as we all expected.

Read the rest and discuss with fellow fans!

Celebrity Circus returns with another death defying episode. They claim the most dangerous act ever performed on the show will be on tap for the latest run, but will it impress? Things start off right away with the reveal that Stacey, Christopher and Rachel (yay) are safe and not going home. It’s down to Wee Man, Antonio and Janet but Wee Man is somehow safe, confusing the hell out of me! He sucked last week and really deserved to go home.

Chris is first and after last weeks fire act, he realized that he has to do some acrobatics to get on the judges good side. His act for this week was the bungee, something hard for him to do with a broken arm. Since Stacey already did the bungee, of course the judges will base his performance off of their golden child. Although he looked somewhat uncomfortable on the bungee, Chris did a good job as he spun his way through the performance. This time he included a trapeze bar in the mix which did add an interesting touch but the judges were mixed. Of course they compared him to Stacey, the British guy did, but the other two loved him and that’s all the matters! Two 9s and a 6, which was great, but still the stupid British guy screwed him over!

Stacey is up next and I’m sure the judges will all love her. Her stunt is Blu’s downfall and that is the Spanish Web. In her practice package Stacey freaks out, a bit divaish? Blu did the same and she left, maybe the same will happen for Stacey. For once I’m impressed and feel she finally did a great performance. But for some reason the judges disagree? Um what’s going on. For some reason the judges have a false vision of Stacey and I’m not sure why. She spun well and it was very entertaining but of course the British guy loved her. Why am I not surprised? Two 7s and a 10 give Stacey the same score as Chris (and by the way how in the world is she 41!?!?!?)

Next up is the lackluster Week Man. I have a feeling he got through on his fame and fans calling in since he didn’t deserve to stay. The Flying Strap is his act and this time he has to act a bit as a story has been added for once. Although then hanging onto the straps Wee Man didn’t do too much. Of course he flipped a few times and flipped again, but that’s about it. I wasn’t impressed but the judges thought he did much better compared to last week. They liked the theatrical part of the show and that’s enough to give him a thumbs up. His score ends up being a 7 and two 8s, much better then the 4s he got last week!

Rachel is up next and she’s performing the most dangerous act of the show! I hope she does well since she’s afraid of heights and that’s the whole part of her performance. She’s doing the high wire that includes a trick that in the past killed someone, the pyramid. She’s walking, dancing and pyramiding on the the high wire and things were sure interesting. To make sure things stay safe, Rachel is was a safety wire and I don’t blame her. Although she’s safe, the others on the pyramid with her aren’t. They silence the audience and begin, tethered together are Rachel and two helpers. She’s balancing on a pole between the two in a very tense moment. Amazingly all three make it across safe. Although it wasn’t too thrilling it was exciting and risky! The judges thought she did a great job considering she was afraid of heights and gave her two 7s and an 8.

It was then time to reveal if Antonio or Janet would leave. Janet was the one selected to leave, probably because knows who the hell she is! She thanks the trainers and it was then up to Antonio to perform. His act is the Chinese pole, which is two poles next two each other that you can leap from and grab onto. Antonio’s act was pretty good once again but the judges seemed somewhat bored. They didn’t think he controlled himself well on the pole and lacked theatrics. Although those were mentioned they say Antonio was the only one who could have done the Chinese poles so it was a rather unbalanced judging for him. The votes were then made giving Antonia Sabato Jr a 7, 8 and 9.

With all the performances done only five remain and its a tie for the bottom as wee Man and Rachel share the bottom spot. Next week promises death defying acts and thrilling performances. All of them tonight were great so I’m sure it won’t disappoint!
