Download this episode and more. The AGT season twenty auditions
(00:56):
have officially concluded. With this episode, I'm going to give
you my standouts of the last episode, tell you about
a chaotic prank ward that took place at the end
of all the additions, and finally I will reveal the
top forty four and also I will give my take
(01:17):
on who was rob and the next up next week's edition,
you will find out which acts have received that Jacob
Elliot Shar stamp of approval this year. So right now,
we got to start off with our final set of
standouts and why the was be unique crew. Now, this
member formed this original this Indian dance tream after leaving
(01:42):
Howie Mandel's Golden Buzzer act unreal. I gotta say this,
I love the drama that the show brought in about
them and using the Golden buzzer flip at the beginning
of their audition, just to showcase, to compare and contrast them.
But I gotta say it, I loved how B Unique
crew brought to life. They incorporated some superb visuals just
(02:04):
like Unreal. They made my jaw drop multiple times and
I was like Sophia when one of the dancers twisted
his head completely around. And this was a group golden
buzzer and audience golden buzzer worthy act. And I never
saw the Pasadenia's Civic auditorium screen for golden buzzer louder
(02:25):
than I did, wouldn't be a Unique But however, Simon
shut that idea down because he thought that this audition
was small. I have disagree with God Tom Crader because
b Unique Cruise performance was not small at all. It
was great. And I even got into a Twitter disagreement
(02:45):
with our friends in the podcast AGT Time, saying that
I wanted to see them have a golden buzzer. However,
they responded with a spider Man gift that said no.
And it was in the nose coming at those papers
saying no, no, no, I get the picture. Alrighty. Moving
on from be Unique, we have the odso brothers now
(03:06):
originally they're from Kakistan and now living in Beaumont, California,
and their goal was to get acrobatics incorporated into the Olympics,
which is a wonderful idea. Their suns were exceptional and
it made me go what the heck multiple times and
they were one of the best youth acts I've seen
in years. And I got to say they got a
four chest share innovation and there's a six eight year
(03:29):
age gap between the brothers and they actually did amazing.
And I gotta say this, I really spoiler alerts. I
really wanted to see them in the live shows because
they would probably kick every single youth act out of
the water. Moving on, we have Alex Flancher from as
a dancer. She traveled all the way from Liverpool, England
(03:52):
to compete and it was she was a solo dancer
at the age eighteen years old and her audition took
me back to the Cold Name So see you think it, Dan,
I'm talking about the years where Benjimer was on, Travis
Waughan was on Late Great Twitch Boss was on I
Got an Impassion, and Ryan and Ashley those that generation
(04:14):
of dancers. So Alex used all the stage to her
advantage and her choreography was electrifying and yet, sadly, spoiler alert,
she didn't get into the top forty four. What the
heck was agt thinking. Another stuo that did not get
(04:35):
into top forty four was Juliet Hakovitz and her husband
met Brian, who previously received forty yeses. Now she auditioned
after the jet after her husband did, and her topics
were wine, it's your drink I remember, and she also
took up that took a job. But her husband met
fifteen years because and she equivalent snoring too, the patriarchy,
(04:58):
the ladies, and how he gave her three justin in
evasion and she also got four yes's. Now I gotta
say this, this would have been interesting to have both
and compete in the top forty four to see who
would have gotten done with both, and Sally, that's not
gonna happen. Finally we got Avalon Henrose. She had the
honor of being the last audition of season twenty. Now.
(05:20):
She actdally spilled water on herself before her entrance, so
I thought, okay, hopefully that's not a sign of things come.
And she revealed to the audience that she was a
childhood opera singer who quit op dramatically when she was
fourteen years old because panic attacks, and she was auditioning
to reclaim her voice and inspire other performers who tackled
stage Frye and she performed time with Saygabye per audition,
(05:44):
and I immediately got flashbacks and one of my all
time favorite apps. That's why I'm talking about Season four
runner up should have been the winner, Missus Barbara Freakin' Badilla.
But however, what I did not notice is that they
were crew members setting up doing comedy parts putting. They
were like she throughout the audition, and she was getting
(06:06):
sprayed with streamers with pains, and I'm like, I thought
it was hysterical. And then this is when the chaos started.
Simon and Howie went on stage be her second her
sisss during her second song. So when little did they
know that all prank war commenced during her performance of
(06:28):
one of the arias from Carmen. So Simon started out
when how when he pied Howie in the face and
put peanut him, So Howie counter and sprayed Simon and
Terry got into the act we were spraying Howie and
then also Melb brought in a super soper into the
mix and sprayed everyone. That was probably one of the
(06:50):
messiest endings I have seen to the auditions outside of
that huge shaving cream or whipped cream bowl. White Pool
waded back season eleven, so that's almost ten years ago
to twenty sixty. Now we're going to take a quick
break and then we'll get to the Top forty four.
Welcome back, guys. It's now time for the Top forty
(07:14):
four reveal. So here's what the show did. They had
a montage of all the apps. I kind of wish
that they had deliberations again and had each act walk
off walk on the stage based judgers, but however, I
think the budget went to the twentieth anniversary celebration, which
one on that later. So what I love is that
(07:35):
they had each four weeks of the quarterfinals lineup with
all the acts, which I think is great because the
thing is instead of looking onto like agt Wiki or
using some spoiler sites, it's great that everyone knows where
everybody is and it'll make my job as a commentator
so much easier. So let's start off with Week one
(07:59):
Group and this is probably one of the most competitive
groups I have ever seen of the first round audition
of the first round live show. I've never seen something
like that. I got a lot of flat from my
friends like Agent Commentator and AGT Time Pod, But I
gotta say this, I am not being paid by NBC
(08:21):
or Freemantle. But however, I have a lot of my
favorite acts that made this round. So let's get started.
We got to start with TV Raid Landsen. He got
the first spot though by B Unique Crew, and I
think they are going to be a live Golden Buzzer
contenders if the Live Golden Buzzer comes back. Local Pop Familia,
(08:43):
which is a dance group of dance like cats which
Simon didn't like, was on there the I think oh
it was Melby and then City Limits the R and
B Vocal Trio got a yes. But I am so
angry when I found out that that awful clownet got
a spot. What the back, AGT, Why are you scaring
(09:05):
the audience? I don't like that the lone comedian Sherler
King has more got a chance a spot, and I
gotta say this, what the heck, there's only one comedian?
AGT We have so many comedic acts the audition for
this show, Grandma Lee, Vicky Barblak, Preacher loss In, Tom Cotter,
(09:30):
Drew Lynch. They were all phenomenal comedians. I'm so sad
and upset that there's only one comedian that made it
to the final top forty four this year. Do you better, guys.
One person I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Very excited to see to get this chance is Reality
TV icon Tom Sandoval. He is now made it to
the live shows that he and the most extras are
gonna bring the party, and I really hope that he
advances to the next round. Moving on, we have Circamera
and then not too but three golden buzzers Live Wire,
(10:07):
Simon Colli's first Golden buzzer, Blah Blah Melby's second Golden Buzzer,
Charity Lockhart, and finally Jordan.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Blue Howie Mandel's first Golden Buzzer. I gotta say that
with this lift before anything happens, Jordan Lightwire and I
think I be unique. The crew are gonna probably be
the ones that advance. I think a dark horse is
going to probably be on Stevie Ray Ladson and if
(10:35):
any of the Sandavals, the Traders fans rally around Tom.
I think he could be a dark horse.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Moving on, we have Week two and in week two
we have one of my favorite choirs of the group,
Leo High School Choir.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I was so thrilled to receive they receive the spot.
Then we have Ben Hyatt Tower, who, by the way,
was previously on it was part of the group in
the stairwell. I didn't see his Pink Pony club so though,
and I don't know why he got spot. I know,
teach his own. Moving on, we have another team. I'm
excited to see E d T dance team. And then
(11:16):
also we have Alan Simonov representing musicians. Then we have
guitar videos so young Bae Melick Viragrolo. I was very
excited to hear him get abduced. But like I gotta
say this, they needs to step up to the plate.
I was furious to learn that Alex Zinger got his spot.
(11:38):
I'm like, he's a very forgettable act. He's not good.
I don't know why he brought on. Maybe some brought
him back. I don't know why. Moving on, we have
Mama Duke. I really like her. I think she can
She's a dark horse with this group, but I really
hope she brings a song and puts a smile on
(11:58):
America's faces. Speaking of smiles or terrifying, we have the
Bostic Dynamic Dogs. They are official animal act of this
season and it's gonna be interesting to see what the
Robot Dogs can do. Finally, we have John Glissimo. They
restole our hearts during the live shows during during the auditions,
(12:19):
and I cannot wait to see what they do to
the live shows. I really hope they go far. Then
we have two Golden buzzers. They have Sophia Regard's first
Golden buzzer Duo start Us which previously a BGT alum,
and finally have Unreal So Howie's second gold buzzer from
this group alone before the show starts or before anything airs,
(12:40):
I got to say this Duo start Us, Unreal and
John Lisimo do have potential being people that go ahead.
I can see people rally behind Lee School Choir and
Mama Blue and also Boston Dynamics. But however, I do
keep by on if anything goes right. If all things
(13:02):
go right for John Lissimo, Duro start Outs an Unreal
entrance into the finale. Moving on, we have an interesting
week which is Week three. We have micat Plaza. We
have Savannah Bananas Metseeo Harrison. We have one of my
favorite mentalism Max and Dark Match Maps Mastermind. We have
(13:24):
the Ben Family band Anna Serena, first time on the
solo and first time back on the show, are on
AGT platform since twenty nineteen's very first season of AGT Champs.
We have former Home Free member Austin Brown. We also
have rapid comedian christ and Turner, who I'm very excited
see and also I'm very Excitusy Gurish and the Chronicles
(13:46):
make their Lives Show debut. I cannot wait to see
them in action. Then we have Jacqueline and Wagner. I'm
not a fan of them. I don't think of the
Arelacs that we should have been there. I think the
bodyguards should have spot their spots. I'll go about that later.
Then we have two more Golden Buzzers and their fan favorites.
I'm talking about the Massaudi Brothers making their seconds AGT
(14:11):
Live Show appearance for this time, when Juggling and ny
want melt Bee's first Golden Buzzer. And then of course
we have probably the main vocal events of the season,
the one and only Jessica Sanchez who stole who received
Sofia Regard's second Golden Buzzer. Now, this group is interesting
(14:33):
because it could go either way. By God, say, Jessica
will probably be a lock. I know a lot of
people were upset after she did not win American Idol
back in twenty twelve, and I really hope and pray
that Jessica does make some history and becomes a second
Golden Buzzer recipients or a top voter go get her.
I also want to seeing Massaudi brothers get into the
(14:55):
semi final because they have unfinished business. They were so
close to making the Season fourteen final, but unfortunately they
lost out. So I can notice you would have the
guarantee spots, and then I think it's gonna be very
difficult with that third spot if I could see corrosion
of Chronicles and Anna or Anna Serena get It or
(15:15):
Mastermind those three acts keep an eye on. Otherwise we're
gonna have it's gonna be too close to call week
of performances. Finally, we have Team Week four and in
this group we have Team Recycled, which I really like.
Zach Mertz, which is he's probably the most questionable magician
(15:38):
in the act. I'm not sure why he's there. Moving on,
we have seen a Chuck Adams and I love his
take on the Google Dolls Iris. I really hope and
pray that Check played some really good songs because it's
gonna be a really good group. Then we have jan I,
who probably should get a goal live Golden buzzer if
there's a live Golden Buzzer. Then we have Cole Swinston
(16:02):
and Judy. I don't care about that up. They were
not fun at all. I kind of wish there's another
act that stually got their spot. Then we have the
TT Boys, which are really good. I think they're gonna
be probably one of the best aerial strengthucks that we have.
They're so exciting. Then we have Crash Adams. I love
this of Canadian duo. They're going to really bring down
the house. I questionable scratched my hair, pull my hair
(16:25):
out of my head. Moment was Astrod. I don't get
why she's there. She doesn't belong there. I'm gonna buzz
her if you want to acquire we have had somebody else,
but like as it's a waste of a spot, and
moving on, we have the last of the golden buzzers.
I think a little bit of the weaker like the
(16:46):
only of the three, I think the strongest one out
of them is the boy Kins the Country Quartet Sister Quartet,
which I really loved we were choosing Terry Cruise golden Buzzer.
Then we have the proming On Choir, which is Simon
Coll's second cold Buzzer, and the Fucking Teared Dancers, which
is Terry's Cruise's first gold buster. Now this group is
going to be an interesting one because I think so.
(17:09):
Something tells me. Now this is before the performance. I
think Jandai, Chuck Adams and also t T Boys all
could possibly receive a live Golden Buzzer if it's still
in play. Now, I think the Boy Kids is absolute start.
They actually have a spot. I think they have a
spot in the semi finals waiting for them. And I
(17:30):
also see Jandai Team Recycled or TAT Boys move on
as semifinalists. So now we're at the point of the
ash who were rock and all ont to see five
come to mind the Bodyguards that was probably the best
strength that we have seen since Duramadamini Brothers and the
Messaudi brothers, I gotta say we were robbed of both
(17:53):
of them. I think, yeah, it couldn't be slipped because
of the stripping. But the thing is those guys were powerful.
They were absolutely insane. I am seriously scratching my head
and thinking, what the heck is wrong with AGT production
not putting the bodyguards in one of those spots. Speaking
(18:13):
of head scratching moments, we got to talk about Dwayne
and saying, Wayne Jackson, here's probably one of the best
comedians in that lineup. I loved his I loved his
app I loved his material. He had definitely been a
preach second coming of Preacher Losson and it has it
would have been amazing. Another dance crew that got robbed
(18:35):
with urban Theory, I think they were. I'm not sure
why they got in. I could see that there was
some comparison to one of how He's going the Buzzer
acts last year, But I got to say this, I
love seeing dance acts, and I think having more dance
acts is the better and the show's case is more variety.
I think of the music act that got robbed is
Bill Taylor. I loved his country sound, his old school
(18:57):
roots Americana sound. It was so absolutely stunning, and I'm
just so sad and we're not gonna be able to
hear his music. I really hope he comes back for
season twenty one. Another person I really want to see
you on season twenty one is my friend Mike Monz.
Probably one of the best Fitness Kings auditions I've been seen.
There could be a show surrounding Mike, and I'm sady
(19:19):
we don't get to see him, but good on him
for making it to the judge's auditions and receiving those
for yes. I hope and pray that Mike comes back
and delivers a good, solid performance. Next week, before the
live shows begin, we officially have the season twenty birthday party.
It's gonna be two hour events celebrating all of the
(19:40):
twenty years of AGT I'm very excited about the special.
I have little expectations, but I really hope and pray
that the show's for the show's production team does a
great job honoring their twenty years on NBC and Guys
