Best of ’America’s Got Talent’ – Vegas Trials Week
This week, ’America’s Got Talent’ judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel put their heads together as the search for the nation’s most entertaining act moved on to Las Vegas, where the more than 100 acts culled from their nationwide search would be whittled down to just 48 contenders.
It wasn’t easy for the judges, either: tears were shed, dreams were crushed and hearts were broken, but that’s not to say that the show’s fans necessarily agreed with the judges’ final picks. Popular Puerto Rican singer Carlos Apponte was out while the oddball yodeler Mary Ellen was in; dance squad Style Pros Crew got the boot, yet deadpan illusionist Chipps Cooney made it through.
Still, several acts from the Vegas trials were no-brainers. Here’s a roundup of some of the standouts who made it on to the Top 48 this week. Next stop? Hollywood, where those of us at home will finally get to make the call and decide which acts have talent.
Michael Grimm
Soulful singer Michael Grimm admits that he’s pretty mellow and not the type to jump around with excitement, but the Mississippi native need not worry. His bluesy ‘Try a Little Tenderness’ — reminiscent of Joe Cocker, maybe — won over the judges. Pack up the guitar, Michael: you’re going to Hollywood.
