The Fiddleheads were found in Atlanta, but they don’t sound like your typical band. On Tuesday night the five member team took up the stage on America’s Got Talent to share some serious music in a sort of bluegrass style. Taking on the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson the group seemed to have a great time with the chance to perform in front of the live studio audience. However, the judges weren't so convinced and really attacked the performance in three different ways as each had a particular issue with the song, clothing and even the notes of the lead singer.
During the auditions in Atlanta it was pretty obvious the band is well known. Complete with their own cheering group, the performance of Forget You had the crowd excited and ready for more. Sharing with the judges that the five were a bluegrass band – including a banjo and mandolin, they prefer to put twists on popular songs. Giving a new instrumental look at a contemporary single.
While the music sounded strong on stage in Los Angeles, America will be deciding if this is the group to keep. Out of the 12 acts seen tonight, only four will make the cut to move on and that decision lies right at the hands of the audience as they are asked to vote with the elimination results being revealed Wednesday.
Bluegrass has always been popular (think Steve Martin,) but voters have to ask is this the perfect act to hit Las Vegas?
