Jerry "El Vegas" Katz gave the Internet a bad name by coming out and doing a terrible Elvis impersonation. The Hoff said he wanted to see what was going to happen. "I didn't know what was going to happen," he said. "I still don't know what happened."
The first montage of bad auditions followed El Vegas, including a group of jump ropers who kept getting themselves tangled up, a bad singer, a Shakespeare soliloquist, and a flamboyant, bald and glittery man wearing a T-shirt that read "I (Heart) Boys Who Sparkle" who sang The Pussycat Dolls' "Don't Cha."
An 18-year-old singer named Ashley who said she had a fan club on MySpace, which didn't bode well. Piers buzzed her almost immediately, followed closely by a bored-looking Sharon. David let her keep singing long enough to hear Ashley let out some loud shrieks that reminded everyone of Linda Blair, a la "The Exorcist."
A group of 1- to 23-year-old college friends calling themselves Ishaara proclaimed their goal of becoming the first Bollywood headlining act in Las Vegas. Their high-energy performance had the crowd from the opening notes. Piers called it "unbelievably exciting to watch" and he called it original and fresh. Three yes votes later, Ishaara was on its way to Vegas.
A couple of bald, shirtless men from Poland calling themselves Duo Design promised a physically strenuous act. The crowd loved it when they did some extreme Cirque du Soleil-type contortions, balancing on each other, including a moment when one of them did a one-armed handstand on the other man's head. Piers thought it was too weird and voted no, but The Hoff and Sharon gave them the votes they needed to go to Vegas.
Eddie Green, 52, said he started doing his act in a small club, and his venues weren't going to get any bigger anytime soon. His puppet routine consisted of him running around stage with a life-size Tina Turner doll while "Proud Mary" blared in the background.
Marcus Terell and the Serenades took the stage looking to pay tribute to "classic feel-good music. They sang "Hit the Road, Jack," while the crowd half-heartedly clapped along. Some of the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Piers told Marcus he was "a star" but that his backup singers were a problem. Piers asked if he was going to fire the singers and Marcus said he wouldn't because they've been friends since middle school. The Hoff and Sharon agreed the Serenades' vocals were subpar, but figured they could work on them. Piers relented and voted yes along with Sharon and David to send the group to the next round.
Singer Charles DeWayne Dorsey wanted to entertain people around the world and start his mother's retirement. Sitting at some keyboards, he belted out Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" to the crowd's delight. Sharon said he ticked all the right boxes. The judges all loved it and sent him to the next round.
We got a peek at some good acts, including a dance crew, a stand-up comedian, a violin-and-piano-playing duo, and a brother-and-sister singing and guitar act.
To end the night, a plus-sized, 19-year-old dancer named Vanessa, calling herself Heavy Vee, said she had the courage and self-esteem to win. All three judges buzzed her and voted no. Host Nick Cannon then decided to take matters into his own hands, saying she came up short because she needed a partner. He went on stage and busted a few moves along with her. Nonetheless, it was a no, but she smiled all the way home.
