Almost let this one get away from me. I've got to start watching these sooner, especially with live shows coming up. Watching and writing again. So far we've had a pretty good dance act and now a singer's coming on.
I gotta say, I like the multimedia dance acts. It's probably the only dancing type act I could see myself watching for an hour in Vegas. Not taking away anything from the hip hop groups or the salsa groups, because they are all quite talented. I just don't think watching that for an hour would be entertaining. When you take one of those multimedia groups, I feel like the dancing is almost secondary to the overall story being told. It reels you in and keeps you entertained and just makes you want more. I feel like there's a connection to magic there, I'm just not able to tease it out at the moment.
This hat juggling guy was pretty cool. I liked it, though I agree that it was basically one thing over and over. I feel like someone like that though has more skills that they can showcase in the future, so putting him through was the right decision. Not like the guys a couple seasons ago whose only goal was to make a one hit wonder song and kept doing the same thing stage after stage and inexplicably getting put through.
I liked the crossbow couple as well. I may just have a soft spot for circus and variety acts though, because pretty much anything different like that is going to be a win in my book.
I've never tried, but I feel like I could hold a bicycle with my teeth too, if the back wheel is resting on my chest.
There's a whole lotta nothing going on here. The comedian was funny though. It's gotta be hard to be funny coming on cold like that. I'm always pleased to see a comedian get the crowd laughing because they're notoriously unamused by comedy.
Can I just go on record here and say I hate Heidi's fucking hand binoculars? They don't help and you look stupid. Stop that shit.
Ok, we're moving outside now for some bigger acts. I generally like this kind of stuff, but as I've said before, if you can't do it on stage for the judges, how are you going to do it on stage in Vegas?
The kids on horses were pretty neat. I remember a wild west themed act from a couple years ago that didn't go very far, but they also brought the horse on stage. These guys were doing some neat stuff.
The Godfrey Clan was fun. They remind me of like a Jackass family. I think Howie hit it when he said they need stuff we want to watch, not stuff we want to do.
I liked the high jumper just because I thought it was cool. There's no way in hell he can translate that to a Vegas show. Although I'm terrified of heights, I would love to do a drop from significant height into a bag like that.
Getting blown up in a car is another thing that I've always wanted to do but would be too much of a pussy to actually do. I need to find a stunt school that would just let me go mess around for a couple days. I would like to see more from this woman.
That's it for this week. No magicians, unfortunately. Looks like we've got one more week of auditions before we move to Vegas and start cutting down the field. Bittersweet times, because they'll send home acts I like but I also get to see more performances.
Until next time.
