America's Got Talent (AGT) 2012 - 06/25/2012 - Vegas Week Show #1

I waited until now to start the review blog, as this is the first set of Vegas Week. The earlier shows are always frenetic, and it was a lot harder to keep track of who is going on and who isn't during the montages. And we didn't always get the names.

Judges are: Howard Stern (he's done a pretty damn good job, I believe), Sharon Osborne and Howie Mandel.

Everyone gathers together and the judges speak to them from the balcony. There are two groups: Judges' favorites - The ones they feel are the acts going through to the live shows. They will perform first. Stand-bys - The stand-bys will perform second for the remaining spots. Everyone is to go to a waiting area and read the lists. If their name is not on any list, they will not perform in Las Vegas, and will go home today.

July 27th - Vegas Week - They send some home, still, and some go on to the live shows without being seen again. There are 45 slots for the live shows.

We are not seeing the full act, but are seeing enough...

Simply Sergio (forgot lyrics? was sick - Howie enjoys his "nuttiness")

I guess we'll see who gets through later this week. Most all we just saw did a good job, except for those whose nerves got to them. We'll have to see if they actually make it through.

There will be two more shows this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. See ya then. ;-)
