America's Got Talent: 204

Episode Guide

America's Got Talent is in New York City for the final auditions. Sharon Osborne is looking for eccentricity and talent. Piers Morgan and David are happy to be in the city.

A very bendy man emerges from a small box. He is beyond double-jointed. He can literally kiss his own behind. David calls his Rubber Boy and that's what he is. Piers doesn't think it is actually a talent, but he has two votes and he is through to Las Vegas.

Next up is Abenz, a rapper with a back-up singer. He's only mediocre and the crowd boos him off. The judges like the back-up singer more, and ask him to come back and sing on his own. Abenz walks off in a huff.

A woman named Sunshine comes out to sing Amazing Grace, dressed as an aging hippie. They start to boo immediately but she's not as bad as some have been. However, she is not making it through.

A montage of the failed acts: bad breakdancer, bad ventriloquist, opera singer on horseback, random dude in a Speedo, and a very old lady.

Now Odysy comes out, four young men who claim they are so much more than a boy band. Actually they are not bad. They sing over beatboxing and break into a rap. They do come together well and the audience is impressed. So is David, but Piers is not. Sharon expresses some doubt but eventually puts them through.

Philadelphia T., a well-dressed and confident stand-up comedian who gets some laughs out of some Katrina-related humor. The judges like him - even Piers is impressed. He is on his way to Las Vegas.

Now a montage of success! A Latin dance act, a pair of stand-up comedians, a drumming group, and an R&B singer.

A set of singing identical twins called Shad-Dai takes the stage. The judges X them out, and Piers says they are mediocre. They want another shot, but Piers has no interest, and David thinks it's unfair to give anybody another shot, so they are gone.
Next up is Luca, who has the nickname "Lazy Legs." He has a disease that leaves him with very little muscle in his legs, and is part of a breakdancing troupe called Illmatic Styles. He uses crutches as part of his dancing, and it is integrated pretty seamlessly into the act. The crowd likes it, and so do the judges - they are through to Vegas.

A knife-throwing reverend The Great Throwdini and his assistant are the next act. Throwdini blindfolds himself and throws around the body of his assistant. One knife bounces off, but otherwise he throws well. Sharon likes it, but David doesn't. Although Piers X'ed him off, he actually likes the "creepy reverend" and puts him through to Vegas.

And now..."Three Redneck Tenors. " They are wearing overalls and mullet wigs but can actually sing. However, is the surprise of their talent interesting enough to bring them back? Yep, they are on their way to Vegas as well.

Next up, the Pennsylvania Hand Band. They play their hands and have a giant hand mascot. No.

More failed acts: two young stand-ups, both of whom insult Piers, and his comments back to David start some tension between the two.
