America's Got Talent (AGT) (2011) - Season 6 (06/14/2011)

The above is the original air date. I am reviewing based on the replay on Oxygen 06/18/2011 at Midnight (EST).
Sorry. We went up to my father's, and didn't get back until it was over. The show was only one hour, and there wasn't another on Wednesday, as I thought they said there'd be.
