The Top 10 competed for Americas vote Tuesday night, and this time around there would be no judges choice. The vote will determine everything this time, and the top four vote-getters will compete next week for the $1 million grand prize.
Judge Piers Morgan threw down the gauntlet, saying that the acts had to be absolutely perfect tonight.
Studio One Young Beast Society: The young, reckless dance crew, which focuses on its tricks when choreographing its routines, said they were trying tricks on Tuesday that theyd never done before. There were some tremendous flips that got the crowd on its feet. What a start, Piers said, adding that he really liked that the group got more ambitious every time on stage. He called it a brilliant performance. Sharon said their passion and ambition shows and loved that theyve really pushed themselves.
Christina & Ali: The sisters said their supportive parents were the reason they were able to make it to the Top 10, and they promised to step it up by doing a song with a good beat. Sharon said she loved them, and praised Christina for hitting some of her big notes. She said she could tell the sisters really enjoyed their performance. Howie said he loved them, too, but wondered if their very nice, enjoyable act could stand up to the death-defying stunts that some of the other performers are doing. Piers said theyd blossomed into these natural entertainers. He again said they werent the best singers, but that they bring a little bit more than just singing to the competition.
Jeremy VanSchoonhoven: Jeremy said that his fall during last weeks rehearsals was the worst of his life, and added that he hadnt had another chance to ride his bike until he went on stage live. He dedicated his performance to his wife, Melissa. Piers said that Jeremy was either going to win, or die trying. He went even bigger, climbing his bike up and down and over obstacles. Howie said he wondered how Jeremy could follow up last weeks performance, but said this was amazing. Piers wondered, What do you say? He guaranteed one thing: Nobody is a crowd pleaser like Jeremy. Sharon said her stomach was in knots every time he performs, and that he gets more and more confident with every performance.
Taylor Mathews: The singer said music helped him overcome some shyness in his youth. Piers said in the intro that Taylor isnt the best singer in the Top 10, but he could become the best performer. He did an upbeat version of What a Wonderful World. Piers asked who chose the song and arrangement, and Taylor said he did it himself. Piers then called it Taylors best performance. Sharon said Taylor was so clever in making his own arrangement on the song. Howie agreed, and said Taylor was back in the running, as he had been earlier in the competition.
Anna & Patryk: The young ballroom dancers said they were so lucky to be in the Top 10. They started upbeat routine with a timed walk down some steps while holding masks over their faces. Anna took a spills down the steps, but powered through the rest of the routine without incident. She started to cry a bit as soon as the dance was done, and Sharon asked if she was alright. When Anna said she was fine, Sharon said it was the sign of a true professional. The crowd cheered. Sharon said it happens to everyone, and that she shouldnt get down on herself. Howie told her not to cry, and that she was wonderful, and that millions of people at home wish they had a fraction of her talent. Piers said he understood she was crying because it seemed like things couldnt get any worse, and the fact that she got up as if nothing had happened is what being a star is all about.
Be our guest: A rare performance-night guest appearance came from Enrique Iglesias, who performed I Like It.
Fighting Gravity: The Virginia Tech frat guys who dropped out of school for the semester to focus on the competition, said they based Tuesdays performance on an epic moment in Americas history. Howie just said, Wow, as usual. He said they surprised the judges again, and said it was amazing that they came up with this routine in a couple of days. Piers said the act seemed to get bigger and more surprising every time out. He said theyd all taken a big risk, and that their act is the one that says to me, Las Vegas. Sharon, as shes done before, put them next in the sequence among Cirque du Soleil and The Blue Man Group.
Michael Grimm: The singer and guitarist said everything in his life has been hard. He said his grandmother is the talk of the town in his Mississippi home. His grandparents were going to be in the audience, and he didnt want to blow it. For the first time, he was going to perform without his guitar. Piers said Michaels performance showed his confidence, and that it was perfectly executed. Sharon commented on what a difference losing the guitar made to his performance. Howie agreed, and said that he saw Michael connecting with the audience more than in the past.
Michael Grasso: The illusionist, who made his comeback after being a wild-card choice, said he wanted to perform for his family, which has supported him his whole life. Michael did another bait and switch move with a couple of assistants. Sharon said Michael delivers every single week. She said she really hopes hell go through. Howie crowned Michael the king of magic. He demanded to know how the trick was done. Piers said America has an impossible job tonight because of the talent involved.
Prince Poppycock: Prince Poppycock, in regular clothing, said his moms support has meant the world to him, and its been nice to show her that maybe he wasnt so crazy. He said Tuesdays performance was Poppycocks love letter back to America for getting him into the Top 10. Howie said he didnt know if that was what the forefathers had in mind, but... Poppycock is a show. He said it was truly a spectacle, truly unique, and there are no words to describe what you do. Piers agreed, and said he was rendered temporarily speechless. Sharon said there was no end to Poppycock.
Jackie Evancho: The 10-year-old opera queen from Pittsburgh said she really wanted to make her family proud. She unleashed her angelic voice on the crowd, this time backed by a small choir. Piers made it all about him, saying that, when you hit those high notes, I knew that in 40 years time -- if Im still alone -- I will be now known as the guy who helped discover Jackie Evancho. Sharon said it was heavenly. She added, Its one of those performances that I will never, ever forget. Howie asked Jackie if shed ever swallowed a grown-up, because it sounds like she did. Howie then said it was honor to be here on the night that youre singing in front of Piers Morgan.
