'America's Got Talent' Season 9: Judges Heidi Klum, Mel B, Howard Stern & Howie Mandel Return for 2014
Summer is finally here and so is the new season of "America's Got Talent." This year, "America's Got Talent" Season 9 is expected to be even more entertaining than the last season and the audience is guaranteed to be astonished with the outburst of talent once again.
This time around, judges and fan favorites Heidi Klum, Mel B, Howard Stern and Howie Mandel are back in their chairs to judge the performances. Season 9 of "America's Got Talent" will introduce a special twist -- the Golden Buzzer. Sounding the Golden Buzzer will save a performer from going home and the act will be allowed to continue when the buzzer is sounded by a judge. The karate/comedy act of Dustin Dojo has already been saved from elimination by Howard Stern sounding the buzzer.
This week, an acrobat, a 9-year-old piano prodigy, dance duo Blue Journey and moving young singer Jacob Curled all passed through the second round of "America's Got Talent" 2014. Nick Cannon, who was joined by Larry the Mime, provided comic relief.
Real Encounter from Springfield, Missouri thinks that the judges will find them impressive. The group, which presented BMX bike rider stunts, has high hopes of winning America's Got Talent this year. "There is that element of danger, and that's what really draws them out," said Brad Bennett, the founder of Real Encounter. He revealed that they have been to most parts of the world, showcasing their talents, adding that this is their 14th year together.
Bennett found a common denominator with host Howard Stern although the group has a different religious culture. Bennett said that the shared insights between him and Stern led to a very interesting conversation that he wanted the audience to see.
The huge prize pool of $1 million offered on "America's Got Talent" has so far not been won by any dangerous performance.
