Following two "weird" audition episodes in Portland, "America's Got Talent" took off to the Windy City. What happened? Here are a few of the highlighted performances:
The Sneezing Guy: It was hard to catch this guy's name, mainly because Howie Mandel was too busy completely losing it over the possibility of germs getting everyone. The man is well-known for his fear of germs, and I don't really blame him after trying to watch a guy sneeze with his eyes open.
Strikers All-Stars: At first, these guys were completely creative by dancing without music, and it would have actually been more entertaining if it was to stay that way. Even with that, these guys presented such a fun and high-energy routing that it was exciting to see them. That's not something you say about many crews on this show.
Gentlemen of NUCO: These guys seriously played a classical version of Kelly Clarkson, and it was pretty awesome.
NU Covenant: They were a gospel group, but they really didn't look or feel like anything that special. They still made it through.
Nashion Jones: Somebody should tell this guy to get on "So You Think You Can Dance" instead of this show. He was that good.
Spellbinder: the guy was a magician dressed like a pimp, so it was pretty obvious this wasn't going to turn out well. In the end, it looks like put a napkin on top of a dancing flower.
Bad montage: a weird guy decided to "turn people on", a girl danced in a bubble, and a guy decided to perform an ode to cheese.
Carlos Aponte: Was the same guy singing that was talking? The guy went from being a soft-spoken guy from Puerto Rico to an amazing tenor in a matter of moments. We have the Susan Boyle of the show! This guy has the potential to make it all the way to the finale, without a doubt.
The amazing hula-hooper: I don't know if she liked being called "Hooters on steroids", but this girl was beyond incredible.
John the strong man: This guy was perfect for this show -- he bent a frying pan, and carried around a concrete ball. However, Piers thought he'd seen better. After he tried to unroll John's frying pan, it was enough to convince him otherwise.
Debra Romer: She looks a little like Taylor Swift, and then she sings like Sarah McLachlan. She's very good -- maybe not as good as the show made her out to be, but part of that might have been nerves.

Carlos Aponte is not exactly an unknown. If you Google him you will find him as a well nown tenor in PR. BOO
Yeah, pretty disappointing. I just finished my google search on him. Took a little digging to find his pic with CREDITS for his career. And the reviews for his performances went from average to worse. Seems he likes to sing loudly, as in too many decibels. No votes from me if he gets that far.
This young lady could sing the song, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". Substitute "America" for Argentina, and walk away with it.
Got something to say?
