The crowd seemed to love it, but Piers Morgan did not. He said the problem with their routine was the skates. He voted no. Sharon voted yes. The Hoff, who said he needed time to think about it, said, "I'm going to give you guys a break and say yes."
That kicked off a montage of green-lit acts, including an a cappella group, a burlesque dance group, percussionists beating on ladders, a flying-fingers, high-energy pianist, a high-flying dance crew, and a big-voiced singer.
An 8-year-old singer named Ciana Pelekai with a smile that lit up the room went out on stage ready to wow the judges. She told Piers she would buy her mom and dad and her whole family a new house if she won the million dollars. With that, she launched into a silky-smooth performance of Etta James' "At Last." Piers told him she should start picking a house for her parents. He called her voice "absolutely extraordinary." Sharon said it was "really amazing." The Hoff told her "there's nowhere to go but up." She got through with three yes votes.
Choir director Joseph "JoJo" James, 40, vowed to sing like he's never sung in his life, "and the judges will have no other choices but to pick me." That's rarely a good sign. From the first shrieking notes of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," it was clear JoJo was a no-no. The Hoff said it sounded like when you squeeze the air out of a balloon. With three no votes, JoJo was gone.
At 25 minutes in, it was time for a montage of bad acts, including a pair of piano playing brothers who pushed each other on and off their bench while playing, an opera singer who sang alongside an electric guitarist, a "comedy circus" duo, and a guy who stuck straws into a potato.
The final audition of the process came from a group of friends from Memphis who performed a high-intensity dance routine. The Beale Street Flippers did a series of fast flips around the stage. The crowd and the judges were blown away, and three yes votes met you could soon find Beale Street in Las Vegas.
With that, the "America's Got Talent" auditions were finished.
The rest of the hour was dedicated to Meredith Vieira's interview with "Britain's Got Talent" sensation Susan Boyle.
