Emily Bland – Lip Syncer

She lives in Arkansas and works as a receptionist. She loves Garth Brooks. And the joke is that her husband is off stage singing like Josh Turner. And she has the ability to lip sync precisely without looking at him? I guess it’s a skill? It seemed at first that she was singing with a very deep voice. Yet, I don’t understand. The judges are intrigued and want to see more. – 4 yes.

Mind2Mind – Mentalists

James and Marina, also known as Mind2Mind, is a psychic/mentalist type act. They are recipients of Ukraine has talent Golden Buzzer and appeared on England has an incredible talent. Marina is outside with Terry. Her first trick is to guess the battery percentage of Sofia’s phone. She gets away with it! Then, audience members write “powerful memories” on a piece of paper. Heidi pulls a souvenir out of the bag. She reads it and then concentrates on it. Marina describes a father holding a young child as they gaze out at the ocean for the first time. And she is right.

The Lads – Hand Balancing Duo

The Lads are an acrobatic duo made up of Jack (UK) and Tiago (Portugal). They mainly perform in festivals/circuses across Europe. Heidi goes there and asks why one likes being downstairs and the other upstairs. They take each other’s shirts off first. They do hand balancing without props. It’s all about strength. It’s almost like wrestling and ballet! Sometimes these balancers seem to work REALLY HARD to keep things in place. But this reason makes it seem effortless. Plus, the routine is beautifully choreographed.

Heidi calls it “smooth and sleek.” Sofia calls it “perfect”. Howie calls her strong and graceful, but that didn’t upset him. Simon agrees with Howie. He found it slow. Howie and Simon are wrong. The audience boos. Simon says no, Heidi and Sofia say yes. The crowd sings, but Howie doesn’t care. He says no. – Simon and Howie say no, Heidi and Sofia say yes.

Simon will advance it if more clothes come off. She totally agrees. 4 yes

Mr. Moo Shakes – Drummer

Kumbaya! Simon stops him after a measure. He wants to hear an original song. She sings “Still in Love,” something she’s never experienced, she says. “Me neither,” jokes Simon. Does she look a bit… old-fashioned? She needs to express herself better. Its high register and its phrasing are pretty. She is a work in progress.

The Notches Without Nerfs – Danger

They do a modified version of their act inside. The poles are so high that they are located on the ground outside the stage. The big thing is how they swing and switch poles while Angelina is blindfolded.

Heidi is exhausted after watching this. Sofia calls it intense. “You look so normal, and you’re not!” said Simon. It was more intense for him this time, because it was so close. Michelangelo calls the AGT the greatest stage in the world. – 3 yes.
