America’s Got Talent With Howard Stern Premieres – Audition Recap

Howard Stern joined Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel on the season premiere of ‘America’s Got Talent.’  He made sure to bring his well-known brutal honesty with him.  Howard was unimpressed with a number of acts and let them know it. But he did find a few things he liked. 

Jorge Narvaez and his 7 year old daughter Alexa wowed the judges and had Howard wishing he had a dad Jorge.  It was hard to say no to such a cute little girl.  Plus they sounded great.  The duo has several videos on YouTube and Howie had seen them before.  The father/daughter duo made it through to the next round.

Another father/daughter duo caught the judges attention.  Shanice & Maurice sounded great together and received three overwhelming yeses to move on to the next round.

It wasn’t all about singing.  The Light Wire Theater is on to the next round with their glow in the dark dinosaur routine.  So cool!

Hip-Hop cloggers, Elements Dance Cru did a zombie-punk routine Riverdance-style.  The Cru made it thru.

Sculptor and musician William Close ran wires across the theater to create a giant harp and wowed the judges.  His originality and talent earned him a pass into the next round too.
