The first 12 acts took the stage live tonight in the America's Got Talent quarter finals. Only four will move on to the semi finals. Judging from tonight's performances it may be tough to find four in this group.
Here is how the night played out on AGT.
First up was Kung Fu Heroes, a combination of martial arts and dancing. They were okay and may have wanted to go easy in case of opening night nerves. They better go bigger if they get to come back for the semi finals.
Piers: "... it wasn't as mad as in your audition..."
Sharon:"...it was more like a martial arts exhibition."
Howie:"...it's the choreography that was weak..." and then described the group as "Power Rangers with eye shadow".

Trump Fires Carol Leifer First on Celebrity Apprentice 2010
Team Tenacity Vs Team Rock Solid
Sounds like a wrestling match, but its just the newest teams formed for the Trump boardroom in the Celebrity Apprentice. Tonight was the premier of the Trump fire-fest, starring:
Team Tenacity (Ladies)
Cyndi Lauper (Project Manager)
Carol Leifer
Sharon Osbourne
Summer Sanders
Selita Ebanks
Holly Robinson-Peete
Maria Kanellis
Team Rock Solid (Men, and Bret Michaels thought of the name)
Bret Michaels (Project Manager)
Sinbad
Rod Blagojevich
Michael Johnson
Darryl Strawberry
Bill Goldberg
Curtis Stone
In a new twist Trump had the teams of men vs. women choose each others project manager for the first Celebrity Apprentice task. The ladies chose Bret Michaels (just as the men expected), the men picked Cyndi Lauper.
The 1st Celebrity Apprentice task:
Sell food from a diner like location in a downtown NYC restaurant for charity (as all tasks are). The real event is to get on your phone and call as many people with money that will come down and donate. Those with few major money ties are cut early, so we already have some front runners (Sharon Osbourne & Curtis Stone most notably).

America's Got Talent: Final Performances 9/14/2009
Finally night is finally here on America's Got Talent! With Susan Boyle as a guest on the 2hr finale, this should be a fun show. I hope they all do well, I like all the acts this season.
My dark horse pick is Drew Stevyns, so I hope he brings it tonight. He will have his hands full with Lawrence Beeman and Kevin Skinner as the other male vocalists on AGT.
My absolute favorite act this season on AGT is Recycled Percussion. They have surprised me with every performance. I think they would be the most obvious choice for a Las Vegas show and could definitely rock the house for 90 minutes.
Here is how it went down:
Voices of Glory: "Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston
The boys took the judges advice and bowed to their talented little sister. This little 9 year old is a great singing talent. This song was a little too big for her, but they were still strong. It was one of their better harmonies too.
Hairo Torres: Music montage
While I would love to watch Hairo Torres for hours dancing his ass off. He did really well, but I think he got a little sloppy in the middle. Okay, he was spinning on his head... but if you are a pro, you do it perfectly. Hairo Torres has huge potential, but I agree with Piers. I don't think he did enough. I liked Hairo with the group, he really stood out as a star.
Lawrence Beeman: "You're the First, My Last, My Everything" by Barry White
Lawrence Beeman went with his strengths tonight. It showed. He looked relaxed. I still was not crazy about the song choice, it was a little boring. Lawrence has a real chance at winning though. He just needs to work on his stage presence.
Barbara Padilla: Opera (sorry)
Barbara Padilla is the shoe in to win this America's Got Talent season. It's going to come down to the country music lovers vs the opera lovers. Now which ones do you think watch more AGT? Either way Barbara Padilla will no doubt sign with any opera company she wants after this.
Fab Five:
This dance group of sisters are truly talented. They could be the surprise ending for AGT. I hate the 80's outfits, but the dancing is great. I think they could easily fill a 90 minute time slot. The Fab Five definitely put a younger feel to this act and I thought it worked again for them.
Texas Tenors: "My Way" by Frank Sinatra
Well I said it may come down to opera fans vs country music fans. What does that mean for three opera singing cowboys. The Texas Tenors are a strong group, but I don't think they have enough to win.
Drew Stevyns: "I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders
Drew Stevyns is a cross between Rob Thomas and Chris Daughtry, two of my favorites. I think he picked a great song for his voice and milked it for all he could. I would buy a Drew Stevyns CD. Sharon Osborne with the comment of the night "your trousers could be a bit tighter", and "no it's a compliment, shows I've been looking at his... stuff all night!"
Grandma Lee: Comedy
No doubt about it, Grandma Lee is out of this race unless America does some strange voting tonight after AGT. She is pretty funny, but not 90 minutes in Vegas funny. I think Grandma Lee will do great on the talk show circuit. Best joke "Piers is sweating like Ryan Seacrest watching Broke Back Mountain". Oh, and she came out very pregnant. Piers called her a "shameless little hussy"... who needs Paula and Simon.
Kevin Skinner: "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith
Surprising song choice for Kevin Skinner, the chicken farmer turned country singer. Kevin had a great start, but he lost his glow a few weeks ago for me. I think this was his worst performance. It sounded flat throughout the song. Too bad, I like Kevin Skinner. I have no idea what the judges heard, but it was not what I heard.
Recycled Percussion: "Wipeout"
Loved it from the start! This is the perfect start for this noise band. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but it was awesome. This is the act that is built for a Vegas stage show right now. With two drummers drumming, one guitarist whaling and a DJ.... add water and fire, what's not to love? These guys still get my vote!

America's Got Talent: My picks and faves
My picks for this season of America's Got Talent are pretty easy: Kevin Skinner or Recycled Percussion. Those are two acts that would have never found the same stage had it not been for this talent show, that's why I love AGT.
I really like Grandma Lee, but I don't see watching her for a whole show in Vegas. I'm sure she would do it and do it well, just not for me.
My other dark horse of this season of AGT is Drew Stevyns... last time, WOW! I would definitely listen to that gravelly voice, over and over. I think I broke YouTube the other day watching his video of "How to Save a Life"... I like it far better than the original.
I'll try to find some videos but NBC seems to be quite snarky about not allowing them off their site, so here is a link to all the most current updates too: America's Got Talent

America's Got Talent Kicks Off the New Season 6/23/2009
America's Got Talent kicked off the latest season complete with a new host, Nick Cannon. I was a big fan of Jerry Springer hosting. Nick Cannon really surprised me! I really enjoyed Nick Cannon and his interactions with the contestants.
As with all talent shows America's Got Talent started with mostly bad acts and just a glimpse at the talent that is to come in the next few weeks. It looks promising though!
Footworks Kings:
The Voices of Glory:
If this family trio does not make you cry (or at least feel great), there is something wrong! All of the judges were choked up (especially Sharon Osborne), and Piers Morgan was the first to stand and applaud them saying, "Brilliant".
Rockin' Rory (the Australian Shepherd):
This dog is truly amazing!
And I loved the fact that Rory continued to 'mind' the discs after the act was over!
David Johnson: Ok, this was just kinda funny.
That is all the videos available for now. I will post more as they become available!
