The live show from Radio City Music Hall in New York opened with The Rockets "kicking" things off. Heidi Klum fit right in with the dancers and Howard made the grand entrance, as usual.
Anna Christine - The 11-year old girl singer playing the piano sang off-key and didn't select a very good song for her vocal range IMO. You could tell she was nervous on such a large stage, but a larger factor working against her is the fact she isn't very cute.
Tellavision - were very good, creative, and entertaining; two judges loved it and two judges didn't.
American Hitmen - Most people love 'em (I'm indifferent) but it wasn't their best performance. One things we know for sure...Heidi wants it harder.
Special Head - I think we've seen the last of Special Head...he's a one trick levitator. One thing we know is that Heidi saw a little Special Head.
Fresh Faces - the little girl dancers sure are cute, and I liked their act, but they cannot compete against real talent. They looked so small out there on stage.
Collins Key - the magic kid. He needs to work on his stage presence, but it was a solid trick.
Kevin Downey Jr. - comedian who is really annoying, but strangely funny.
Aaralyn & Izzy - six year old girl who screams like the lead singer from the band Sodom. Not cute and not talented. Time to move on.
Alexandria the Great - underwater escape artist with a huge arse; somewhat entertaining, but she'll be packing her wide-bottom swimsuit and going home.
Kristef Brothers - I don't know why but I really like these guys and I like what they do.
Hype - nice dance act but a little over-hyped IMO.
Branden James - not a bad singer but it's impossible to sing Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up without sounding like something less of a singer.
Anyway, I cast my votes for Tellavision, American Hitmen, Collins Key, Kevin Downey Jr. and Kristef Brothers Not a bad show overall.
