Silhouettes, Top 48 (Q2) ~ America's Got Talent 2011 LIVE

[GAgurl357]

Who sings this song in this video? Beautiful :)

[Stupidest3]

this is so beautiful i cant help but get sentimental <3

[TheGuildGirl]

The first time my sister and I watched this, we both were driven to tears. I still get teary when I watch this...especially when we see the New York City skyline and the Twin Towers.

[CorinneMichelleMusic]

@TheGuildGirl same! i get tears in my eyes every time

[sarmadasco]

Was expecting something so schlock like or sentimental, but was amazed! So good! Something I have never seen before. Could watch them again and again. Though they did not win, they will still have a career ahead of them! Bravi!

[newsmileyface]

i dnt ever get tired of watching this its so beutiful

[feastures]

Big mistake: The Whitehouse is NOT for the people, but against.

[checkiecheckie]

i am a Chinese boy,but i still feel so proud of this performance. i told my american friends, i said,ur nation is fabulous. and yes i did cry as well. love the song choice...

[magicneverend]

they are acttaly AMAZING!!!

[ashleyywith2ys]

their shows are amazing i would luv to see them soo day... even though their semi finals wasnt great it still blew me away.. i luv them.. they shouldve won

[dactree]

had they done that on the finale they would had won. im an canadian internationalist and that make me proud of america.

[SDRalph]

America ?? the whole continent ? thanks !!!

[chalk6666]

Doesnt compare at all to PILOBOLUS

[jojop72]

This made me cry

lm not American

lm Australia

but love you guys

[snuggs208]

this is only AGT act/show ever that has actually touched my heart

[ejane4]

this was beautiful and inspiring. Keep moving along, Silhouttes, you are wonderful.

[chieukha1993]

the chose out the prettiest girl to do the presentation... and i love it !!

[borinquenlomejor]

i will see u in vegas,,,,,

[says210s1]

perhaps



[xMcGrath45]

Ass?

[iheartryanstyles]

Somehow I kind of knew since their audition they would probably end up in the final 4

[iheartryanstyles]

I could have sworn I heard the audience singing along to this song

[AnnW1231]

i watched dis during 9/11 like if you agree

[cdianne2002]

look what they did to Jackie Evanco last year. Las Vegas is for Adults they said.

[cards0486]

I was OK until they did the skyline of New York, put in the lights for the Towers, then finished with Lady Liberty. Then I couldn't stop crying.

This is truly, truly an amazing act. I can't begin to imagine how you would choreograph that.

I agree with Landau being the final winner, but I hope this group gets to perform a lot, lot, lot and be rewarded for this imaginative work.

[chezwick69]

If this makes you tear up it just means you're probably not a Lefty Liberal ;-)

[Marupinku]

I loved their first performance, it was here where I saw how terrible they actually were.

I'm sad they made it as far as they did.

[vcuster85]

@CHECHEloveful I did cry it was so moving and incredible!!

[jabold]

Can't believe these guys didn't win. The judges should be allowed to overturn obviously stupid public voting decisions like this. This is a show in Vegas I would go see. Instead - just like on American Idol and last year on this show - the little tween girlie's who do all the voting pick a guy singer.

[bloodsportstar]

@jabold your on crack !!!! How the F..k they made the semis much less the finals is a miracle. There was way more talent out there!!! Take away the curtain they hide behind and they looked like gymkhanda. They had no business being in the top ten......the only reason they got as far as they did was by playing the patriotic card.

[OURKRAZiELiFETV]

@bloodsportstar how dumb are you really thats is TALENT, iguess you dont know nothing about,they are telling a story , and it is BEAUTIFUL , you need to be more OPEN MIND && stop lookin 4 SAME OL TALENTS , & the "curtain" is a part of the act they tell the story behind is what makes they DIFFERENT , ugh

[bloodsportstar]

@OURKRAZiELiFETV i get they are telling a story big f....ng deal you don't need talent to do that. There were at least 15 acts better than them that should have been there. Shit there were acts better than them that didn't make it to vegas.........all i can say is they must have a lot of relatives and friends they had voting for them.. There is no way you can say they are more talented than team illuminate or even west springfield high

[dhansen54321]

@bloodsportstar Wow.  I feel just the opposite. I was turned off from Team iLuminate for precisely this reason; Team iLuminate was not able to tell a convincing story via dance. Incredible dancers, incredible technology, ZERO story line. Only one of their performances had an interesting story (quarterfinals).

If it doesn't take talent tell a story via dance, why do so few dance groups manage to do this???

[AlyssaDesire]

@bloodsportstar WHAT THE HELL r u even American??!!!

[bloodsportstar]

@AlyssaDesire dude i wrote this like 2 months ago.......you one of those pathetic people who scroll down and read comments from months ago? the silloutes suck ass...........you wanna see real talent watch astro on x factor

[AlyssaDesire]

@bloodsportstar no im not. geez. and i dont wanna watch the X factor i prefer America's Got Talent

[purplesuby22]

@bloodsportstar well astro got eliminated so is that talented enough for u

[SuperXboxmaster1]

they should have done this yesterday perfect american remberance of 9/11

[ONEffect95]

this is for 9/11

[moneybags1972]

winner winner chicken dinner

[tristin777]

cutest thing ever!!!!

[mickeyd20102011]

It's been 10 years since 9/11. and I was a kid watching it! this makes me cry.

[jessiebugg95]

Like if you posted this on facebook for rememberance of 9/11. I did and I'm proud to be an American.

[majrpwoner87]

Girl who was crying goes to my school. DONT KNOW YOU BUT HOPE YOU WIN!

[kayjo101]

10 years ago ... what do you remember?

[Merannie]

perfect memorial for 9/11 T-T god bless them

[jazzymonica2000]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiidgeniius]

2:53 to 3:05 is extremely touching. #9/11

[MegaLegodude2000]

They should have saved this performance for the finals. It would have been a good 9/11 remembrance.

[LuvMeLuvMyAnime]

@MegaLegodude2000 But it was the 4th of July back then. It was a nice time to do this too.

[jewel1260]

Why do some people have to be so cruel and immature in their comments just because they happen to like another act? I hope Team iLuminate wins but I take my hat off to Landau Eugene and the Silhouettes too. They have also won a place in my heart and I'm rooting for them too. These young people have done a beautiful job and to say that they are playing the patriotic card is pathetic to say the least. I'm from New York and the twin towers brought tears to my eyes. Thank you silhouettes! ;o)

[EpicSoldier27]

k, that whitehouse shape they did i had no clue what it was till' they showed the picture, Team Iluminate better win this cuz i was WAY more entertained by them then this Army of kids ,

[rosiecld]

im not american, but this performance made my cry.. especially the 2 wto towers...

its gonna be 11/9 10 year anniversary.. wish u all the best america! live with your pride and belief, as u always do!

[michelleagrossi]

This made me cry

[TheReticKeeper]

Is it me or do they look like a cult? Anybody want some juice?

[Dregar099]

Everybody is comparing acts from this year to acts from last year. Anna Graceman's like Jackie. iLuminate is like fighting gravity. Silhouettes is like Pilobolus. I mean, they are different acts! Judge them by their performances. Not by others.

[Dregar099]

@Dregar099

And I don't mean that Pilobolus was on AGT last year

[121jackpot]

What a great bunch of kids--I like them much better than Pilobolus--They are beautiful dancers and much more graceful moving in and out of their pictures-Their choreography is also much more complicated. I am a Landau fan and would love to see him win but have to give this group "kudos" for all their talent and hard work.

[Lteugene]

They should perform to "What About Us" OR "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson. They would win the show.

[mega69641]

I LOVE SILHOUETTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 and there from denver which is were i live :D represent :P

[holykarmor]

Super Cliche!!! The shadows aren't even that great. If they to overlap a picture over the shadow for me to get what they are forming, that is just bad. Go look up Pilobolus

[34MOBYDICK]

PLEASE YOUTUBE PILOBOLUS! Then tell me how "unique" Silhouettes is..... Pilobolus did it first and much better that these brats.

[Olympian497]

@34MOBYDICK Huh, these "brats"???? Do you know them personally? Because from what I've seen, they are poised, professional and seem genuine. You can like another act better, but that doesn't make the other one bad.

[JeremiahMRA]

Cliche as hell, cheap shot at getting votes just like the pity party at the beginning. Pathetic.

[JeremiahMRA]

@JeremiahMRA Besides, America no longer even values the constitution. We are a civilization in decline, full of fools.

[SeaUrchinz]

Lol, I like how none of the judges are even American.

Before I get comments "What about Howie?" He is Canadian :)

[maeof2]

Ok. Search from youtube "Thailand's got talent TGT-12"

[maeof2]

Don't know how to post the link in comment.

[maeof2]

It's very close to one of last year Thailand got talent both theme and how to represent the nation. check this out

[pickemgood4]

I love all their performances, and they are about to perform again in about twenty minutes on americas got talent,

crossing my fingers, goooooo silhouettes

[James2011Marine117]

2-23-1945

[XoXSarahXoBethXoX]

i am a Canadian and this made me freekin' cry! it shows just how much people love thier country no matter where they are or where they live. i loved this, its their best performance ever

[shikamayru21]

who agrees this was their best performance and that they screwed up with their semi-finals?

[tubehax]

@shikamayru21 This was nowhere near close to their audition, the end.

[Rollercoasterdiva2]

42 i thought there was 38 in the last one even check

[cardcollector6794]

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima :'^)

[xXChloeKissXx]

-crys- oh my god this makes me cry -wipes tears- i love what they did thats why i voted for them. the twin towers just broke my heart so badly

[XOXshayroxxXOX]

i'm not american, but this brings me to tears everytime.

[dutch1996]

@XOXshayroxxXOX Same

[dutch1996]

@XOXshayroxxXOX but i am american

[lenabobena23]

i get chills every time i watch this

[dutch1996]

@lenabobena23 me too i love the part when they do the twin towers

[Lolrock21]

VOTE FOR THEM PEOPLE!

[dutch1996]

@Lolrock21 i have every time there on i doo

[keys2mylife]

i leave with the navy in december.. i nearly cried watching this. i loved this! thank you...

[gleelover39922]

OMG i loved it that i almost cried

[freedomgeek12293]

@gleelover39922 I did

[nintendoandsega1990]

Can't believe I still cried..... =..D

[hakrim114]

LOL It's ironic cuz the girl says "there's 42 of us" when the video is actually at 00:42 LOL

[georgj16]

What I don't like about this, is that people from the United States called themselves "Americans" and referred to their country as "America", when in fact EVERY SINGLE PERSON from Alaska to Argentina passing thru Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Canada, etc are also Americans beacuse EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY is IN the CONTINENT America.

America is the continent, United States is the country.

Still, GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!

[we3575]

@georgj16 I hate it when people like you comment on the whole "being American" thing. No, only Americans are American. Yes, the continent is The Americas but no country claims to be America. The US does, The United States of America. No, if your from those countries your Brazilian, Mexican, Canadian, etc. There is only one country which has Americans, which is the US.

That being said, yes, this was an amazing performance. To those who are saying it's cheap, your just jealous.

[34rodzilla]

@georgj16 So people from Canada are Canadians People from Columbia are Colombians What are people from the USA supposed to call themselves then Unitens, Staters. US'es. Of course we call ourselves Americans because we live in The United States of America. Also the continents are called North America and South America not just America

[jado818]

Well to say it differently.. I don't think canada or mexico give two shits about being "american"

sure they have national pride but thats the same with america

then again most american's think america is just the united states lol... either way the debate over who is more "american" is useless...

get over it.. a foreign tv show didn't take time to pronounce its love for mexico or canada.. seriously.. if you don't like don't watch

/end rant.

[Nicollette218]

@georgj16 Um.... actually we're the united states of america and we're the only americans. Technicalities are only effective when the mass majority believes in them. It is generally accepted that the U.S citizens are "americas" by the world so there fore we are the americans. And plus the cubans dont want to be called american lol or anyone else for that matter, Alaska is a part of america so obviously they are american's. It's just how it is, and has been and will be.

[jerzeegir1]

@georgj16 Actually the continents are North America and South America. People who live in Mexico are Mexicans, Canada Canadians, Brazil Brazilians. Do yourself a favor, get a map and learn some Geography. Unfortunately, you're either born with common sense or you're not.

[TheAndr913]

I agree with @loner1878, this was a cheap vote ploy and putting in the Twin Towers was just a cheap and low move. That being said, it was still the best performance of the night.

[GympyFyn]

@TheAndr913 just because they put something that matters to them on the screen does not mean it is "cheap" or "low" the twin towers are something people are passionate about as was everything else in their preformance

[jsf525]

who are the 125 people that didnt like it ? terrorists

[Ember121Scorpio]

@jsf525 thats a lot of terrorists....

[deathrocker101]

@jsf525 make it a 142 people



[bloodsportstar]

@jsf525 um no actually think about it. Take away the curtain and let them perform.....Where is the talent??? they should not have made the semi finals much less the top ten

[scientificallyunstab]

@jsf525 Probably non-Americans and people who don't feel the need to express patriotism to show identity.

[marciano999]

did they act in vegas?

i cannot find it

[avidgames91091]

@marciano999 no they were automatically sent to vegas.

[TheStellaMarsh]

Thumbs up if you know some of the silhouettes-

GOOD LUCK BARRET AND HAILEY! We miss you!

[LPScutie71000]

i cried at the twin towers part. i started walking at that very hour. that very day. that very year.

[Madilion825]

it makes me cry when they put the twin towers in there.

[MsTig123]

I hope they win can't wait to see them next week

[lynntasha416]

i think they were the best out of anybody

[xYurichi]

They. Need. To. Win.

D:<

[Millerfarrsuperstar1]

The Talented Waggoner Sisters display what being GREAT Contributing (Proud American!) Human Beings is all about!!......EW

[aresramses1]

wow amaysing



[Poiizzii]

i think this show is like one show in Thailand's got Talent

[HandA711]

Who doesn't want to get votes you know. That's a lot of talent + hard work right there.

[ipodrocker99]

um wow thats all i can say is wow

[2crazytacos]

@ipodrocker99 I saw this live! it was awesome!

[spliffizzle]

dam that blows my dove silhouette right out the water

[Likasnmiba]

dang, whats with saying that they did it for votes? It is a really good act, and if you don't like it, then you don't like it. No point of saying it was for votes. I dont see any of you on that stage. And if you are, well, congrats on getting there.

[FaithandKenzie]

This wasn't a ploy for votes! As they said in the beginning. some of them actually have people in the military. I think it was clever and beautiful. They're DEFINITELY in my top 3 acts..

[XxD3us]

who sings this song? anyone know?

[Gaylen50]

I really hope it comes down to Silhouettes and Team Illuminate, to me the 2 best acts of this season.

[pokemonmanic3595]

@Gaylen50 My thoughts exactly

[XxD3us]

Who sings this song?

[TheUndertakerIsWWE]

@XxD3us i think it's Celine Dion

[maggieboo7]

@loner1878 No more so than people who use their sob story to get sympathy votes

[XxD3us]

I like this group, I think what they do is beautiful and well done. Everyone on this show wants to win, what ever gets you votes to win you do that's part of the game and part of the entertainment buisness.

I liked this act a lot but the saddest of this act when they did they showed september and the twin towers. So many people died a pointless death, which lead to a pointless war. Just a sad thing a thing that should have never happened.

[whitesam77]

represent Colorado!!!!!!!!!! 

[AddiePalePotatos]

for some reason, i only get shivers on 6 acts, these guys, team iluminate, zuma zuma, anna gracemen, melisa veasenyor and kenetic king. these guys will go all the way.

[tgeorge3030]

Yes

[whatsupee]

Piers is standing up!!!

[boombox889]

@AVADeviant

Listen, I understand why you might feel that way, but it just isn't true. If anything, this is one of the most rehearsed acts on the whole show. They run behind a screen and get together to form complicated shapes. And if one person is out of position, the shape is ruined. Also, the choreography they're performing is very difficult. I've danced for years and I can tell you, they are strong, ballet based dancers with beautiful lines and incredible skill. They're talented. Accept it.

[MrLamagica9]

when they will perform the semi-final?

[Gaylen50]

@MrLamagica9 - Week 2 of the Semi-Finals.

Obviously they are seperating Silhouttes and Team Illuminate each round purposely ^__^

[MrLamagica9]

@Gaylen50

thanks..

[AVADeviant]

I personally don't call this performance talented. I'll tell you why.

Anyone could do this on their first try. Run into position and sit there, kind of like in grade 3 drama tableau.

Being given 5 balls, could you do what Charles did on his first try? Being put 35 feet in the air, could you do what Prf. Splash did? Given a mic, could you do what Landau did? You see the point. These acts take lots of practice, while this performance really doesn't.

[chatroomadmin]

amieka bad

[Donnaxoxo98]

AWESOME! :)

[nuggetsyankees]

120 people are Canadian

[JesusLovesYou403]

@nuggetsyankees I'm Canadian and I like it

[OneNameJustin]

you can't boo god and you can't boo america. I got that from the show "Everyone hates chris" and family guy. lol =p

[ladywithabrain12]

Its really HARD WATCHING THIS SH**T, WHEN WE STOOD FOR HOURS TO PREFORM FOR JUDGES (AND I DO MEAN THESE THREE JUDGES) PRODUCERS ALREADY KNEW NONE OF THE 5000 PLUS TEXANS WERE GOING TO BE CHOSEN. I THINK NO ONE SHOULD SHOW UP FOR THE NEXT AUDITIONS IN ANY OF THE CITIES. IT JUST FOR MAKING THE RICH, RICHER!!!!!

[iluvskittlesz]

Y can't u watch dis on ur phone??? -_-

[tylerjho]

120 people are Pierre haters and disliked this video because Pierre's liked it

[thefrenchie99]

I'm not proud to be American. I'm Canadian!

[thefrenchie99]

@loner1878. I agree!

[gibtix05]

sithouettes vs team iluminate to hard to vote

[PowfudicRocks3]

wow, this is amazing....and the youngest was only three years old!!

[rdib65]

I Just love you all. this was one of the MOST amazing acts I have seen in a very long time. I hope and pray you keep up the Great work.

[allamericandude15]

I think iLuminate has these guys trumped. I mean, these guys were good, but they just didn't have that same pizazz and excitement that iLuminate had.

[buidaigia1993]

vãi cả máu lồn !

[juicyj56]

man this is so gay cant you see that these guys are taking advantage of americas patriotism to get votes, fuckin bullshit go canada

[bballerxme1]

Team iluminate!!!

[OnDaerovirt]

don't know what to do? go for patriotism... you will always get some aplauses

[WarcraftAddict1993]

gawd that was boring.

[kayjo101]

Tear in my eye, and I'm applauding my laptop!

[9tailedKitsune]

Very good, but not terribly fond of the version of God Bless America they used.

[khaaaled2007]

-_- stupid! they did this just to get votes !

[pickemgood4]

Midmoon, screw you. Your comment is offensive.

Midomoon, Your comment is offensive. Screw You!!! Your not listening . Bummer too. This is the third time not the first!!!!!!

[midomoon2009]

1st time i know amrecian are proud of their country.... strange..:)

[SIMYACIII1]

valaa harika helel size yuruyun be kim tutar sizi america

[SIMYACIII1]

valaa harika helel size yuruyun be kim tutar sizi

[TJ271992]

This is shit Charles Peacock is better

[freakinsweet07]

Howie says the same thing all the time

[jsfpac85]

They are very good I just don't see any comparison to what Team Illuminate did. These will be the final two but I believe Team Illuminate will take the win.

[airsoftguy41]

guys wat bout SNAP BOOGIE :D

[hiv1111]

this is a useless, fuckin stupid shade show

[Maisy2499]

@hiv1111 wow, talk about disrespect. I'm sorry, have you tried to direct something as complex like this?
