america's got talent

Starting off this week’s auditions of America’s Got Talent is the human spider! It was so weird and so awesome that he could do that. Four yesses and he’s slinking off to the next round. Check it out:

America's Got Talent

Vivian from Hungary is up next and she’s a jump roper. Simon is already rolling his eyes. I don’t think she’s a one million dollar act but she’s good.

Joseph O’Brien is up next singing Lionel Richie’s “Hello.” They focused more on his lack of dating, but his singing was great. Simon tells him he is someone who needs a moment. Howie thinks he’ll go really far. Heidi loved it. He gets four yesses!

The French Accent man started off bad, playing polka and spewing puns, but got three X’s and two of the three judges took their X’s back. Simon didn’t. It was still enough yesses to get through though.

Glennis Grace, a singer, has always wanted to sing for lots of people. She’s 39, life took her in another direction but she’s trying again. Her voice is magnificent. She’s Whitney! I don’t think I have to tell you that she got through, do I? Oh look, I did.

It’s Always Howie!

Why is Howie always chosen as a volunteer?! Here he is again with stuntman Kenny Thomas. If I were Howie I’d be pissing my pants. Four yesses.

We haven’t had a magic act until now and it’s time for Rob Lake, a magician. He actually disappeared and reappeared on stage again when he wasn’t even in the room. Great audition!

We’re coming down to the end of the auditions and Brian King Joseph, a violinist, is up next. His story is that he had a nerve disease that spread along his body — not good for his career. He has neuropathy and is losing feeling in his fingers. He plays brilliantly and gets through. This kid is super talented! This kid brought me to tears! He deserves this moment in the spotlight.

Andy Huggins is here to make us laugh. Does he?

Of course!

Okay the last montage of Mel B’s inability to understand jokes, but she understands a hula hooping Michael Jackson is hilarious. Watch it!

Finally, Brody, a trans man, is singing next. I love his voice! Beautiful! Of course he gets through.

America’s Got Talent will be back in two weeks for the last round of auditions.
