A 38-year-old government contractor named Jeffrey Widom said his singing made him feel good inside. He came on stage rockin' a government contractor-style suit. He took on Shaggy's "Mr. Boombastic," but the crowd and the judges weren't having any of it and Jeffrey was on his way home.
The requisite bad acts montage followed Jeffrey, starting with a run of the mill trickster who pulled items out of his shit and played a recorder with his nose. It also included a terrible opera singer, a contortionist, a standard bouncer turned bad singer.
A 9-year-old guitar player named Tallan Noble Latz was ready to wow the judges and said that if he won the million dollars he'd want his mom to work less so he could spend more time with her. He brought the crowd to its collective feet with his bluesy six-stringing and was a clear shoo-in for the next round. This isn't his first run on TV. Tallan made an appearance earlier this year on "Rachael Ray."
Tony Ferrante, a 74-year-old retired barber, was chasing his dream of making it big. Wearing a shimmering gold shirt, black pants and patent leather boots, Tony showed off some groovy dance moves that proved to be more of a quick laugh than a million-dollar act. Piers wanted more for a million-dollar talent competition. The Hoff voted yes, leaving it up to Sharon. After a dramatic build up, Sharon voted yes, and Piers' head dropped into his hands before he shook it in disbelief.
A group of solid performances came next, including a fast-dancing contortionist, an illusionist and a high-flying African dance group.
Kelli Glover, a singer who just missed making the Top 10 during the first season of "American Idol," was back after six years and trying her shot one more time. The Hoff said she was great and was proof that one should never give up. With three yes votes, Kelli was on her way to Vegas.
The Bad Girls, a singing and dancing trio from Philadelphia, proved their name right as they were buzzed by all three judges within seconds of when they began singing.
Another threesome, a group of brothers named the Platt Brothers, stormed the stage wearing track suits. The variety dance act was part mime, part choreography, part gymnastics, and enough to set the crowd on fire. They got through with three yes votes, but Piers told them to step up their game a bit as they get further into the competition.
A singing group of postal workers from Richmond, Va., called themselves Spiritual Harmonizers and took on some Boyz II Men with "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday." The crowd loved it. Nick Cannon loved it. The judges loved it, and singled out the lead singer of the group for his strong vocals. Sharon said the reason she loves this show is because it gives everyday people the chance to perform to millions, "and that's you." All three judges voted to move them into the next round.
