America’s Got Talent – Season 18, Episode 8

By: Sammi Turano

Duo Acero–Acrobats: They are a couple from Colombia and have a little girl who sits with Sofia during the audition. They do a lot of stunts/pole dancing and have a lot of interesting stunts thrown in. It is impressive to see them move their bodies in such incredible ways. Four yeses.

Summer Rios–Singer: She is popular on social media and has sort of a pop/country sound. She kind of reminds me of a Jana Kramer type with her looks and voice. I have no doubt she will be going places, especially with the way she was able to switch from each genre so easily. Four yeses.

Leonard Lee–Dog Act: He tries to use is dog to get into the Guinness Book of World Records and fails. He is sent home.

Pulse Percussion –Drumline Group: The combine drumming and choreography and manage to stay in sync with both throughout the entire routine. It is something that would be amazing to see not only in Vegas, but in major sporting events worldwide. Four yeses.

Rejects……….

Gabriel Henrique–Singer: Despite his nerves, he manages to completely knock it out of the park with his powerhouse voice….I am talking putting all the greats to shame….I am in awe and speechless from start to finish. SOFIA GIVES HIM THE GOLDEN BUZZER!!!

Noodle and Bun–Animated Band: There is an animated dog that appears on the stage hologram style. He sings I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing with other animated characters. It is cute and clever….nothing I would have ever thought of at all. Apparently the one who did the voice over for the dog was on AGT: All Stars. Four yeses.

Zion Clark–Acrobat: He was born without legs and a victim of the system. Through it all, he never gave up and was adopted at seventeen. He always focused on his craft with his mom always there for him.

The act itself is jaw dropping. I have never seen anything like this before and my only complaint is that the act was too short. Four yeses.

True Villains–Band: They have a good sound and good chemistry on stage. I can see them definitely doing shows at colleges and other similar events. They are also very cute, giving them that boy band with a bad boy edge. Four yeses.

Another montage…..

Kylie Frye–Singer: She has a sweet voice and is very cute.Her performance is in honor of her grandfather, which makes it even sweeter. Four yeses.

Sunny Chatum–Singer/Comedian: The singing act is a disaster at first and gets buzzed almost immediately. However, once Sunny reveals that they are really Krista Komondor, it becomes a comedy routine. Heidi doesn’t like it, but the other judges offer three yeses.
