In last night's America's Got Talent two hour Vegas Week finale, it was the standbys turn to compete for the remaining New York slots.
Hawley Magic opened up the magician category with a levitation routine that Howard Stern pointed out might have been more interesting if the duo had done something to prove to the audience that they weren't simply dangling from wires. It was a good point. I totally assumed they were using wires.
Mind reader Giani lost some of the magic when he misheard Sharon Osbourne during his act. He asked her to name a city. She said "Milan" and he heard "Bilan," which Sharon helpfully pointed out isn't a real city after his big reveal. Oops.
I think the real gem in the standby magician group was Jarrett and Raja, who improved so much after their lukewarm audition-- remember the awkward chainsaw/piano routine? Yeah. I'll take...

MaryAnn Sleasman: America's Got Talent Recap: That Time Howard Stern Made a Child Cry on National TV
To be fair, Sharon also buzzed Mir Money, the pint-sized rapper from Philly. And to be fair to Mir Money, his audition will not, by any stretch of the imagination, go down in America's Got Talenthistory as one of the many cringe-inducing performances by some of the more unfortunate hopefuls to offer themselves up to the twisted trio of Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel, and Howard Stern. He was cute, and in a few years, he may be an Mc to be reckoned with, but for now, he's a 9-year-old who can rap better than most other 7 year-olds. Had he been advanced to the Las Vegas rounds, more than likely he would have been quickly eliminated by a more spectacular act, and like Sharon pointed out, it would have been cruel to prolong the process.
Part of me is wondering who in the hell thought unleashing the full, unbiased (Ok, maybe a little biased,...

You've had a couple episodes to see Howard Stern in action on "America's Got Talent" - what do you think so far? We've actually been pleasantly surprised by him - he's funny and entertaining, but not inappropriate or mean, so we think we're on board with him as a choice.
Monday night (May 21), the auditions are still in New York City. We kick things off with The Flyte Cru, a trampoline dunk team.They're fun to watch and have a couple neat tricks, but we aren't sure where we see it going (and it seems like we've seen that all before). However, they're good enough to go to Vegas and get another shot to show what they can do and the judges agree, though Howie does point out that they aren't breaking new ground with their act.
Good Montage - an aerialist named Max, who is quite impressive to watch...
