As host Nick Cannon introduces the judges, Howie comes out hugging everyone in the audience. But wait…out comes the real Howie, unscathed. He sent out a look-alike to do the “dirty” work for him.
Avery and the Calico Hearts – Three 9-10-year-old Female Singers
Song: Justin Bieber’s “Baby”
Did anyone else think they sounded just like Alvin and the Chipmunks? When someone pointed this out to me, I couldn’t help but laugh during the rest of their performance. These girls certainly are not scared of being on this large stage in front of a huge audience. But neither does it feel like their parents have forced them into this; they aren’t acting too old for their age or anything. Howie votes yes. Piers says no. But Sharon sides with Howie and sends them to Vegas. I knew the minute they walked on that stage that they would be heading to Vegas, because these judges can’t seem to say no to kids. If it weren’t for the success of last year’s 10-year-old Jackie Evancho, I would absolutely say there should be a minimum age limit on this show.

Now that the judges have viewed the Judges Favorites, Day 2 brings us the standby acts, who will perform for the remaining spots in the Top 48.
First up are the Magicians. The first couple of magicians aren’t impressing anyone. But Landon Swank shows how it’s done. He makes a box rise up in the air a little. When he opens the box, some balloons come out, and then a woman. The song, John Mayor’s “Gravity,” sets the tone of the act very well. The assistants of the next magician drop a cube-like structure from its pedestal. They’re able to get it back on, but the judges don’t like that a mistake is made. The rest of his time is used well, though, especially when he turns into a woman (though I know how that one is done). The way this segment is edited, it seems like Landon will be the one making it through.
