America's Got Talent Week 6 Recap: Ray Jessel Makes Cut, Scorpion Eater Sent Home
NBC's "Americas Got Talent" is in its ninth season and this year has been as unpredictable as ever.
With the show entering week six of the long-winded audition process the three celebrity judges, Howie Mandel, Mel B, Howard Stern and the lovely Heidi Klum were looking for wild and wacky talent. The contestants didn't disappoint.
Ray Jessel, 84, wrote and performed a love song. His tune started off as boring, yet sweet with lyrics like, "I met this girl and she's just great. This girl I just adore." Then unexpectedly Jessel told America why the relationship wasn't destined to work out. It turned out "she's got a penis." Mel B called him "a dirty old man" and the judges all put him through. What will he sing about next? Oh and he's also not a bad keyboardist!
The most inspiring act of the night had to be Kelli Glover. The full-time waitress talked about her desperation before belting out a powerful tune. Glover was a contestant on the show five years ago, but was cut in the Vegas round by British pundit Piers Morgan. She since went into a depressive episode, but thank god the angelic singer gave it another go. She received four "yes" votes from the judges and received unanimous applause from the audience.
But the night's most outrageous performance award goes out to YouTube stars Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson. The two African-American men showed the world just what the heck a ratchet women is. Their flamboyant stage presence and pseudo talk/rap combination won over the crowd.
They advanced only by the skin of their teeth though. Both Stern and Klum voted against sending the duo to the next round. You need three yes votes to advance, but Howie came through for the Hudsons and voted them through via the Golden Buzzer. If Emmanuel and Philip make it to the live rounds though they have a legit shot at winning the contest thanks to their online popularity. Their videos have received over 180 million views!
A male comedian with a growing family by the name of Joe Matarese also got sent through to the next round. He made fun of his kids for 90 seconds and they still gave him a thumbs up!
Magician Rogue made the audience hold their breath as his assistant, Mel B, shot him in the head with a staple gun. He went through.
Unfortunately, a kid with a penchant for eating rattle snakes and scorpions got cut. It must've really 'stung' for him.
But the strength acts were among the most impressive. Strongman JD Anderson broke a baseball bat in half! Another contestant held up a couch with just his teeth! Lucky no one was sitting on it.
