Some of the acts not going through:
The Worst of the Worst: Joseph Ravens performed the weirdest and most incomprehensible act we’ve seen on the show thus far. He dressed up in a pancreas-like costume that had a mouth (according to his website, it’s a liver and the act is called “Is My Liver Showing?”). His act, which we didn’t get an explanation for since he didn’t talk to the judges before or after the performance, consisted of him throwing pillows out of the mouth of his costume and onto the stage floor. Only one expression can summarize what most viewers probably thought while watching this performance: WTF?
Some of the acts going through:
The “I Can’t Believe this Act is Going to Vegas” act: The crowd was right to boo the judges after they sent Armand & Angelina to the next round. They are some of the worst singers we have seen so far this year. They call their style of music: “Posi World Popera.” Howie seems to believe that the couple aimed at being funny. Sharon thinks that it was perfectly cheezy. Personally, from the pre-performance interview and the chat the couple had with the judges before they started singing, it feels like Armand and Angelina didn’t mean to be funny and were dead serious when saying that they were good singers. Icing on the cake was that Armand said that them singing together was an opportunity to “make love to millions” of viewers. Awkward! Their performance was a sort of Ozzy Osbourne playing flute meets a pitchy opera singer wannabe.
The Show Stealers: 11 year-old Anna Graceman offered us an impressive version of Alicia Key’s “If I Got You.” Anna has a great voice that can only get better with vocal training and with more experience. The judges used the words “amazing, promising, and having a gift” when commenting on Anna’s performance. She is definitely one to watch for.
The Best of the Best: Even though Howie didn’t enjoy the performance and actually voted no to Vegas, you’ve got to admit that Attack Dance Crew offered us an impressive performance of drill-dancing. I had never seen such dancing before. They were in synch, the choreography was fresh, and their moves were done with great precision. The crowd loved it and were not happy with Howie’s decision. Thankfully Piers and Sharon voted yes.
