And I am Jacob Alishar, an Achieve Content Reader at jakesake.com, a pop culture entertainment news website. If you're listening to us on audio, please download this episode and considering downloading over 425 episodes of content. And don't forget to leave a five star review. It's the most wonderful time of the year. That's right, AGT is back for season 21. Post Terry Cruz in judges Simon Cowell, who celebrates 10 years at the judges desk. So Fia Vergara, Howie Mandela, and for the second season in a row, scary Spicer South, Melal B are looking for the next big act. And for the first time ever, the season 21 premiere handed out something big. This is historic and it's going to be crazy. So guys, please continue to listen and also find out who might have the potential of joining the ranks of Bianca Ryan, Terry Fader, Camini and she, Ibnana, Matt Franco, Darcy Lynn, Brandon Leap, Dustin Devenna, the Mayans, Richard Goodall, and Jessica Sanchez in the AGT winner's circle. So let's do this. Up first, the first act to face the judges was a guy named Aggie. Now Aggie is from, was the first at the season. He's four years old. He has a wife or four kids. And he is an Iced Eareans, her new K resident and he is a dancer. And in all honesty, it was one of the most awkward auditions I have ever seen. Because he acted out emotions with no music. It was like watching a So You Team can dance routine without any of the music. And the judge is, and I was on the fence about it. I'm like, it was too boring. And the judges all said no. But Simon gave him a live preserver and said, if you use music into his routine, he couldn't come back and perform for them again. So let's see if Aggie took him up on his offer later on as an episode. Moving on, we have, we have, we have Linoelle. Now Linoelle, you might have seen her audition because the show released it on May 29th. As a sneak peek in early release, she is a 14 year old Texan. And she was what the fireside and now was the time to say to audition for the show. And after Terry handed her water before audition, she tackled Diana's Hill by CNN Sparrow. And her voice reminds me so much of Jessica Sanchez, or her idol run. And now voice fans, this is going to be a flashback for you. Way McDonald from the voice USA season 11. And also one of the newer seasons of Idol on ABC and Disney Plus. And Lai has a voice that's very mature for A.A. She received the first four judge standing ovation of the season. And Simon said the best words aren't necessary. And he hit the golden buzzer. And he actually beats Sophia, regards to the punch. And Mel be advised her not to tell him in the future. And I have to agree with Mel be honest. Sophia, if you're listening, please do not reveal that you're going to use the gold and buzzer on an act. Otherwise, you might have howards and Simon or Mel be sweep it all right under for you. And she inlay is the first person in the live shows. And also guys, this is the fastest I've ever seen a golden buzzer being awarded on a premiere night. Moving on, we have Tyrone and Margot. They are a husband and wife, Danger Act, and they first meet each other at the show. And then Margot proposed Tyrone to work for her. So they are the first Danger Act of the season. And their performance have shades of deadly games. And I love the way that they trade the shark objects and also each other as targets. They're the best Danger Act since deadly games. And they also received a three judge state of innovation from Simon and the ladies. And after the performance, they share that Margot had an accident that left her with only 30% of her vision in an injured eye. I definitely agree with how he met Margot as a potential as a Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero. And they were the first four unanimous, four yeses of the season. Next we had two time wasters. We had Nolan Ross Palmer, who ate fire, breathing hot, fire, fire lit hot dogs, Sid and Buzz. Sid was the first ex of the season. It was a waste of time. And Nolan got three noves and a nice to meet you from Simon. Moving on, we had Las Vegas 28 year old Josh Sherman. Now Josh is a Trump player. And if you won the million dollars, he won the million dollars. He would have traveled with his dog on Petsy Jets. Sadly, it was a waste of time. He first he played music using a beat and he received the first of the four yeses. Then the audience to be able to win one more time. And he performed a shaple, rone to the larity. And Josh goes down to history as the first act to earn eight red X's. Moving on, we had after OK 9 crew. Now before the ship, before their performance, they interacted with both Simon and Terry. And this they are a group of Edmonton Alberta, Canada. So how was happy to see them now if they won, they would go on on a massive expansion of their studio space. And I can tell you why because they are the very first dance crew to incorporate dogs into their performance. Now we've seen individuals dance with their dogs before but not entire dance crew. And it was a true and pleasant surprise of combining dance and inlapse together. They received the second Golden buzzer of the season from the one and only Terry Cruz. And I think they're going to be a force in this competition. Moving on, we have have Adams now have first learned English from his American contemporaries. And this Paris France Nated actually has been doing Santa for 15 years. And his jokes focused on that he was named after the bodyguard and Kevin Costner. And he hates the movie and Kevin Costner. He also tackled American expressions such as we are going to hang out. And he the one time that he and the American girl used to not him, they made out the one. And the guy wanted to use on him, he ran away as fast as he could. I guys say can't made me laugh and love to delivery. He was also the second half of the season to receive for yeses. And how he boldly proclaim that Kevin was the best comedian this show has ever had. And I'm thinking about waiting for what about Tom Carter, what about Drew Lynch, what about Biky Barbelach and Pradger Lawson. They might have some more to say. Kev has the chance to be to join them in that pantheon. But it was the audition if he is invited back. I really hope that he can step up his material. Then we had Aggie with his second try. He added music to his act and it was 50% better with the music. He perfectly played and perfectly paired in music with his emotions that he was interpreting. It was fun. But however, I had to go back and think. Is this a million dollars? I don't think so. And Simon and Mel B gave him a standing ovation and said yes, but however, because how he and Sophia said no, it was a divided panel and Aggie was eliminated from the audition. Next we have Luke Trelinum. Now this rapper meant Simon Kyle last year during the AGT auditions. And he saw how it changed, the show changed his friend Jordan Wu's life. And speaking of the AGT finalist, he made a cameo with Terry on social on FaceTime. So it was great seeing him. Now Luke is born in Cuba. He lived in Florida and he also has survived cancer. He performed a new composition called Seat to Stage. I love the rap. It was Eminem needs bad. Funny with the little heads of Lin Manuel Miranda. He's one of the best rappers I have seen on AGT. Unfortunately Mel B didn't like it, but because of Luke's authenticity, he gave him the third Golden buzzer at the evening and guys. Three Golden buzzers on one night is a bit excessive. I love this show, but please have your eight Golden buzzer spread out throughout the season. It doesn't make sense for the first night to have three of them all at once. Luke will be moving on to the live shows and it was great seeing him celebrate with Jordan on FaceTime and here's a fun fact both Luke and Jordan share how we asked their golden buzzer judge. Moving on we had Unitry they are a robotic act and their creator is a 26 year old Chinese man. He traveled all the way from China to audition he brought up his robots to join him and made it a routine to Lady Gaga's Abercadabra. It was contortion, meat stance, meat technology app. I could see him being a massive finalist and he received four yeses. Finally, community ATL choir wrapped up and me eating they're all in a transplant and they had a brief comment they had a brief conversation with Simon back saved for the form and it was just five people at first. They said lovely sing lovely day by Bill with I will bill withers and it reminded me so much of the general hospitals nurses ball and its final seasons opener. But here's a twist. There was not just five there were dozens more performers that were spread throughout the Pasadena Civic auditorium. I loved it. I thought it was great how they required for great them before they joined the Montseige. It was an excellent performance and this was the first case of goose season season and Simon proclaim them when the best players in years. I got to say community ATL has potential to join ankle city corral and noodle love and Miss Zanzi in that category. We got to prove themselves first season so they're on their way. They also received the last set of four yeses of the week. Now guys here is something different this season I am going to be revealing my five favorite acts of the night. Number one we have Unitry Robotics next kind of Adams then community ATL choir followed by acro K9 crew who received Terry Cruises Golden buzzer and finally Luke Toleno who received how he's golden buzzer. So guys next week season 21 continues and hopefully we'll have maybe one golden buzzer not to not to your three.
