America's Got Talent (AGT) (2010) - August 18, 2010 - Wildcard Results (#6)

Only four (4) will make it through to the semi-finals from the following 12 acts:

Kruit Dance Acadamy (Pier's choice)
Rudi Macaggi (Sharon's choice)
CJ Dippa (Howie's choice)
RNG (Sharon's choice)
Harmonica Pierre (Piers' pick)
Michael Grasso (Sharon's pick)
Hot Shot Tap Dancers (Howie's pick)
Doogie Horner (Piers' choice)
Conner Doran (Howie's choice)
Anna and Patryk (Pier's pick)
Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon (Sharon's choice)
Swing Shift Sideshow (Howie's choice)

My choices from the group, again, were: Kruit Dance Acadamy, Michael Grasso, Anna and Patryk, and Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon, though there are others I wouldn't mind being in.

Remember, the first three through are chosen by America. The 4th though is voted by the Judges, based on America's 4th and 5th place acts.

Performing tonight: LeAnn Rhymes and Criss Angel

Segment #1

First group: Kruti Dance Acacamy, Michael Grasso, Swing Shift Side Show, Rudi Macaggi
America has voted. The act going through to the semi-finals, and moving one step closer to the million dollars and the headline show is: Micheal Grasso
Now he's through and against three other magicians. He's just in awe.
Sharon: My advice would be to keep doing what you're doing and keep stepping it up. Bigger is better.

Segment #2

Orville Lounge (After Show party)

Criss Angel performs Houdini's Upside-down straight-jacket escape (in under one minute) and Metamorphais.

Segment #3

Next group: The Hot Shot Tap Dancers, RNG, Anna and Patryk
The act going through to the semi-finals is: Anna and Patryk
Patryk thanked Piers for brining them back for the second chance. Anna we pretty emotional.

Next group: CJ Dippa and Conner Doran
The act going through to the semi-finals is: Conner Doran
Howie: (Can Conner top his performance from last night.) I know. That's the only thing that worries me. You brought two kites last night. You'll have to do even more.

Segment #4

LeAnn Rhymes performs Swingin' in a bikini

Segment #5

Next group: Doogie Horner, Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon, Harmonica Pierre
Before the judges can choose, we have to get down to two acts.
The act leaving the competition and going home is: Doogie Horner

Segment #6

Between Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon and Harmonica Pierre
Piers: Who do I want to put through: Sharon's pick or my pick? No, forget that. You guys, last night, surprised me. When you did that last night, that took it to a whole new place. That said, how many times has a 70yo Belgian Harmonica player played Lady Gaga.
Sharon: It's really hard. For me. it's all about my pick. I love them, they're edgy, exciting. And that's my choice.
Howie: First of all I want to apologize for last night. You didn't deserve a buzz. I stooped to my collegue's level. My gut is who would win this. Will you go see the greatest harmonica player, or will you go see a sexy, edgy act. My gut says Michael and Ashley.

So, I was off a bit, but I think the right ones were chosen.
