Landon Swank UNDERWATER ESCAPE (BEST PERFORMANCE? - Review) - America's Got Talent 8/16/11 Recap

America's Got Talent Review - Season 6, Episode 21, August 16th, 2011. (8/16/11) Landon Swank was the featured performance tonight, but West Springfield Dance Team was my personal favorite.

The Kinetic King - With 2000 cans and over 1000 sticks, this piece went off without a hitch, which could save TKK from getting eliminated.

Those Funny Little People - They danced to "Istanbul, Not Constantinople" along with an Arabian theme. I wondered where the actual talent in their act lies.

Avery and the Calico Hearts - The group covered Taio Cruz's "Dynamite", and sounded better than usual, despite seeming like Avery's solo act.

Seth Grabel - The illusionist descended from the ceiling in a metal hoop, which he then used to make the DeLorean from Back To the Future appear on stage, as well as dressed as the judges. There wasn't much actual magic in this tonight.

Shevonne - Her performance of Jessie J's "Nobody's Perfect" wasn't flawless, but was still a great listen.

West Springfield Dance Team - The crew wore Joker-inspired wigs and makeup as they danced to a Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" and Disturbed's "The Sickness". Very unique stuff here.

J Chris Newberg - His routine was a roast of Piers, who actually admitted that he was funny!

Yellow Designs Stunt Team - With a nautical theme, the group performed incredible bike tricks to the tune of Lady Gaga's "Beautiful Dirty Rich." Although there was a minor crash, it added to the drama.

Charles Peachock - The juggler "risked it all" by juggling a flaming chainsaw, and later balancing swords on his head while juggling knives. His routine fell apart when he unfortunately dropped a knife.

The Fiddleheads - The bluegrass band covered Bruno Mars' "Grenade", but ultimately fell short of expectations due to not hitting the high notes in the song.

Summerwind Skippers - Being brought back by Piers seemed to be a great call, as the group jumped to "Blow" from Kesha, and even jumped double dutch with flaming ropes. They did have a minor trip up, but it was hardly noticeable.

Landon Swank - Closing the show tonight was Landon Swank, the magician. He set the bar by escaping a water tank with his hands cuffed behind his back and his head locked in a collar chained to the bottom. While I would have preferred a constant camera shot of him escaping, it was a great act.

Tomorrow night's guest performances & appearances - "Les Miserables" cast and Colbie Caillat.

Haha you made a good point about the Kinetic King in Vegas haha :) Woah wait which contestants watch your videos?! Thats so cool! Anyway I HATED Seth Grabel... ONE MAGIC TRICK! Thats all he did!! You gotta bring more to the table when you want a Vegas show. I recently went to Vegas and.. He is no where NEAR the magic acts there haha

[zebracrunk]

@BbbradiCP Quite a few contestants tell me they have watched my videos via Twitter. Among them are Anna Graceman, Daniel Joseph Baker, The Silhouettes, Snap Boogie, Mauricio Herrera, Poplyfe, etc... Feels good!

You really didn't see a mistake with the jump ropers? They completely messed up towards the beginning of their act. Pierse even pointed it out after the act. I enjoyed their performance but they did mess up pretty bad at the beginning.

[zebracrunk]

@melvinjew I saw their first mistake. What I meant is I looked for a second error during the rest of the act and couldn't find one.

If you think Those Funny Little People are entertaining, you need a brain.

[batista6224]

I think Kinetic King, Landan swank, Yellow Stunt Team, and West Springfeild dance crew are going through. I think the Funny Little People are actually entertaining.
