The Daily Tea

Memorial Day is over, meaning the red X’s light up again!  America’s Got Talent is back! It’s hard to believe that this show is in its 18tb season.  The usual host and judges are back for the summer and they discover the best talent in America  or those from other countries with work visas.  The show opens up with a preview of what’s to come; incredible talent, annoying joke acts, golden buzzers, Howie’s new goatee.  As usual, auditions take place at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.  T-Rex Flips - Gymnast in a Dino costume  Patrick works at an HVAC company. He’s dressed in a dinosaur suit. I have no idea what’s going on here. Ok this is absolutely stupid. He’s a gymnast doing tricks in a t-Rex suit. I guess his flood or good, but it’s corny and the suit is distracted. The audience obviously loves it though.  Sofia says they shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Simon calls him the best dancing dinosaur they’ve ever had. Howie called him the ultimate surprise.  4 Yeses  Phillip Bowen - Fid

Just a day or so late Here’s my recap of the Top 12 singing songs by members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the end of the night, two went home leaving us with 10.  Tyson Venegas - For Once in My Life by Stevie Wonder This is the perfect song for Tyson. I’m so glad he’s going uptempo this week. He’s been doing a lot of ballads so this is the perfect time to for him to break out of his shell. Even doing a few MJ moves there. Nice!  Luke said he did a great job, adding it was comfortable, and liked how he was trying to connect with the audience. Lionel loved his presentation and said he was on fire. Katy loved the footwork, and called it authentic.  Warren Peay - House of the Rising Sun by The Animals  I expected Warren to rock out to Skynyrd or someone similar this week.    I think what I like about Warren is that he doesn’t take risks. He did Adele during the Hawaii round and now breaking out this song. This is a great performance and probably the best I’ve seen of him.  Lionel
