Tomorrow, the Standbys perform. 

Tim Poe, the serial liar was eliminated. The elimination waa glossed over and let go. It’s definitely the last we’ll see or hear from Poe, at least as far as NBC was concerned. Yes, this was taped before his lies were discovered, but they could definitely have given him a bitchier edit if they had chosen to.  Mary Joyner, daughter of Flo Jo was also eliminated. Male soprano, Andrew De Leon was also let go.

Today, more Las Vegas hopefuls audition for the judges

Magicians – Eric Dittleman (Metalist. Freaks Sharon out by “reading her mind”. Howard thinks he lacks showmanship, but likes his tricks) , Taylor Reed, Justin Rivera (fun with U-Haul  boxes), Spencer Horseman (Jaws of death escape artist. Tonight he does a Houdini-like trick with handcuffs and water.)

Vocal Groups – Eric and Olivia (Guitar, vocal Jazz Duo. Howard ships them hard. He loves them) Maurice and Shanice Hayes (Father/Daughter act. They made a tiny mistake. They like the girl, want to ditch the elderly dad) Jorge and Alexa Navaro (Precocious Father/Daughter duo. Sing “Be My Baby”.)

Comedians – Jacob Williams (droll comedian, Howard thought his material could have been stronger. Howie liked him) Dave Burleigh, Kellen Erskine (Sharon thinks he should quicken his delivery), Tom Cotter (Very professional delivery), Frank Roche (Impressionist switches gears to jokes, but bombs BADLY. He’s sent home immediately)

Kids – Sebastien - 10  (Mariachi singer. Sharon calls him magic), Isaac Brown 6 – (Tiny MJ impersonator, The Untouchables (Kid dance troupe), Amazing Elizabeth 6 (Silk Acrobatic) Edon – 14 (Singer,  piano player, Yarmulke wearer, sings “Without You”. Judges are impressed)

Male Singers – Ulysses (Joke contestant sings TV theme songs. I can’t believe he made it to Vegas.) Jake Wesley Rogers (Piano guy. Howard doesn’t think he’s ready) Tim Poe (SERIAL LIAR. The judges gloss right over him. only to say maybe he’s not up to snuff),  Tim Hockenberry (Recovering addict. Piano guy, Joe Cockerish singer. He’s the kind of guy who EASILY wins.

    I’m surprised they let Andrew the goth opera guy go, I think they are expecting them to  be too perfect at this stage, especially the singers and comedians, I think it’s harder if you are an act by yourself.

    Did the Joyner girl go through? I thought she wasn’t as good, but I was hoping she went on.

    I am not surprised that they did not want to deal with the  Tim Poe story.  I am ready for the show to go live. I still really like Howard Stern on this show.

    The jewish boy has an interesting voice and some control over it, but it’s a tweenie’s voice that can change in 5,4,3,2,1…and he’ll be screwed. Glad they cut all the “opera singers”. They all sux. At the end of the day, they made the right decisions, except for cannonball man.

    Where did I hear what?

    This was a taped show so the controversy hadn’t happened yet. AGT would have had to edit in some kind of statement about Tim, and since he was cut based on his singing, I guess that they figured that it didn’t matter (I think that it did, but it was the easy way out for AGT).

    Poe sang George Strait’s “The Chair” on Tuesday night’s episode in
    hopes of being one of the top 48 to move forward with the competition,
    but the judges didn’t let that happen.

    But it wasn’t the controversy surrounding Poe’s claims that caused his dismissal.

    Tuesday night’s elimination was filmed last month, before people started questioning what really happened in Afghanistan, so it was strictly based on his performance.

    Hi Karen…You posted this “I’m surprised they let Andrew the goth opera guy go..” and I didn’t know that he hadn’t made the show.  I was asking where you’d heard that they let him go since he wasn’t immediately eliminated in Vegas.
