Week 3 Begins
The judges are in place, including guest judge Kenan Thompson. Terry Crews welcomes everyone to Week 3. For tonight, the Golden Buzzer belongs to Kenan Thompson! Now time to get to the performances to see who Kenan hits the button for.
Holland & Sienna
They had some issues with the audition, including her dress ripping. They are mixing it up tonight, as they have a rope strapped to the ground and motorized. There is no room for error tonight. These aerial acts are amazing. They just fly all around the air and stage with no safety net under them. The cameraman was not good tonight, as they seemed to be watching everyone but Holland & Sienna perform!
Judges’ Feedback: Howie said what a great start to the show. Was it better than the audition? I don’t know, but it was amazing. Sofia said that was mesmerizing. It was so elegant and made it seem so easy. Mel B said this time was pure perfection on every single level. Kenan said they make such a perfect pair. They are a strong unit.
Isaac Atkins
This is one of Mel B’s Golden Buzzers from the auditions. He is an Army Sergeant. The military gave him the purpose he was looking for, but singing has always been his passion and dream. Now, “AGT” allows him to chase it. He has such a deep voice, and it totally works on the song he chose tonight. While it is good, he does really sound like the original.
