Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hell. He love everyone, and welcome back to the latest
edition of The Jakes ag T Take. I'm your host,
Chaka A shar Chief concentrevicing writer Jakes dot Com pop
culture entertainment news website. If you're watching, if you're listening
to us an audio platform, please give us a five
star writing download this episode and more episodes. So ag
(00:48):
T trist got off and this is the performance shows
because this week I'm very excited to reveal that I'm
going back to see my friends over at ag T
time to discuss three z BO. So before we get
to all that that's gonna happened on Wednesday evening, here's
what's gonna happen. Here's the here's my take on the
(01:08):
show tonight. So we got to start off with Terry
Crews gave us some news that Simon now has the power,
the power of the Golden Buzzer, so he could choose
any act to join Mama Duke and Stevebury Ladson in
the season twenty finale. So let's get started. So the
first actor of the night was Jacqueline Wagner. I forgot
(01:29):
about these acrobats. I liked how they added two elements
to the stage, and I've seen some of their sums
before and to say I was bored, I would to
buzz them at the end of the performance. It could
have been a better experience. Five was in the Pacifist
Civic Auditorium. But for them, I'm going to give them
a D plus. Moving on to his second act of
(01:50):
the night was Austin Brown. I love the Austin acknowledge
his home free roots. He a form an original song.
He has an incredible stage presence, but if you're going
up against Jessica Sanchez, you need to do better, and
that's why gave him a C minus. Moving on, we
have Michao Harrison. He's a dancer. He was called himself
(02:12):
the Daredevil since he was a kid. He's also a
member of the popular Savannah Banana's Baseball team and Banana
Ball Baseball Team. And he started his routine outside which
is way from their key lounge to the stage. He
even swelled out a chandelier to see us chandelier and
I gotta say this stuts for superb. The judge interactions
should have been a little bit shorter. It was a
(02:33):
pleasant surprise, so I gave it to be months. Moving on,
we got the Then Family band. They're victims that they
all to be the fire their even their father worked
at the PASSI Seed Pasadena Civic Center Auditorium for years.
They I'm so happy that they found temporary housing and
they can rebuild their lives. I love that they sang
(02:54):
Trisha Yearwood's arrangement of I won't give up from the passion.
But however, to quote the great Randy Jackson, it was
very pitchy. So I'm gonna give them a seed. Moving on,
we got my Massani brothers, so they are Melby's first
(03:15):
Golden Buzzer of the season. So Kareem and Sophia and
Masani are no strangers to the AGT live shows with
their brother yes in they advanced to the AGT Season
fourteen live shows and made it all the way to
semi finals. However, Kareem and Sofian came back this season
to demonstrate a new skill, juggling, so they decided in
(03:37):
a pre performance package they wanted to add more danger DAX.
So originally they started involved with Blindfolds on Fire. However,
they twisted us up and shud rere close and added
high seal and so they went on this this stuff.
It was I really liked it. And they received the
new set of clothes halfway through the platforms and it
(04:01):
was surprised it was Terry replicause im Terry Cruise's suit.
And I love the jumping off plat that they jumped
off the platforms. And I gotta say this, the live
shows were boring for the even first part of night.
But however, after the Massauni brothers performed, they were back
on track and gave I mean, he gave Kareem and
Sophi in and a. It was probably one of their
(04:24):
best performances I have seen them on any got Talent.
Moving on, we got Micah Palace and he pursued music
over sports, and like his success on att went viral
and he even got a photo, gave it back up
and so this time with his performance, he wanted to
combine soccer and music and when he did his original song,
(04:48):
he got the crowd vibing. I mean, he reminds me
so much of if Pitbull and Beat Bunny had a nephew.
He's a natural performer. And however, Simon surprised that everybody
by giving him the Golden Buzzer. In all honesty, I
really thought the Golden Buzzer should have been saved for
either the Massad's Mastermind or Jessica Sanchez, because the thing was,
(05:14):
we don't see we already have three music acts in
the final already, and I don't wanted to be in
just a music centric final to be all, honestly, I
wanted to have some variety in it, not just singers
and rappers. Anyway, ran over, we gotta go talk about Mastermind,
(05:34):
and I love this act so much. Mastermind combines magic
and technology together. So he had some pick a emoji
which was a love heart, and I love the randomness
of this. This was a epic performance. I was agt
time said that Mastermind hypnotized me, and I'm like, I'm sorry,
(05:56):
but this was really good and I'm going to give
it a a next. Moving on, we had Indian rock
band Gearish and the Chronicles and they were inspired in
a pre performance package. They were inspired by Guns n'
Roses and Metallica and Death Leopard. They performed SEUs Unstoppable
and Garish. Oh my god, his voice reminds me so
much of Adam Lambert, Axel Rose and the voices Jordan Smith.
(06:20):
I got the chills and I really wish that Simon
musical and the buzz around them. They got an a
moving on. We got Agt veteran Ana Serenas and she
was formerly of Deadly Games. She performed on stage the
very last time at Deadly Games in twenty nineteen. I
believe it was for Agt's first Volumes Champions. And now
(06:43):
she stepped back into the spotlight and a solo little
performance and she incorporated fire and Taylor Swift's Look What
You Made Me Do? She reminds me of the real
life Lady Bullseye. And I gotta say this, she became.
It was very successful. I loved it. I'm going to
give her an as. So earlier on in the evening,
(07:04):
Chris Turner The Show asked audience to give Chris Turner
to help give Chris turned topics for his live impromptu
freestyle rap, and so as they did. He Chris revealed
in his pre performance package that he discovered everything changed
once he discovered Eminem in Manchester, United Kingdom. Now he
didn't discover Eminem the performer. He discovered Eminem's music. So
(07:30):
I gotta say this, it was very risky to have
the Instagram the Chef's Instagram audience give him lyrics to
his freestyle rap. So the lyrics that Howie that he
had to incorporate were from Howie, Terry Crews and White Chicks,
melb muchI peas Sophia's suggestion vegetable cream cheese in Simon's
(07:53):
ripe plumps. I gotta say this, Chris is very talented.
I definitely think there's a hole in the zombie world
that he could have and I wouldn't give him a beat. Finally,
we had one of my all time favorite reality TV singers,
Jessica Sanchez Soiavigar's second gold Buzzer and she closed the show.
(08:16):
There's so much history with her. She was part of
agt's very first season and actually they even had the
a Hawk cameo that was way back from two thousand
and six, and we all know that she moved forward
to American Idol season lemoned and johnminated that show. She
should have won that show. However, I'm so glad that
(08:37):
she found redemption to audition for the season last time.
In her audition she told she was pregnant, but now
she is eight months pregnant and she performed ordinary by
Alex Ward, and she slayed it. That should have been
Simon Golden Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer. It was fantastic. Reminded
(08:58):
me so much of her classic Eye Idol performances. And
Jessica still has the voice. And I really hope and
pray America gets it right and picks Sensor to the
Light Semifinals. And I'm giving her an a plus. Now, Guys,
