Tuesday's semi-finals for "America's Got Talent' is over and America witnessed some painful goodbyes from the 11 acts who gave out their best just to move to the next round.
Of the 11 acts who performed at the Radio City Music Hall, only five were able to move past it and advance to the final round, as stated in the reports.
First to take the stage was the duo Ira and his puppet companion, who didn't really impress the judges, especially Howard Stern who told them, "I think it's over," Hollywood Life reported.
The Mountain Faith Band then gave their performance of a bluegrass rendition of "Can't Feel My Face," and it really wowed the crowd, but not so much the judges.
Then comes the wild card Metal Mulisha who did an extreme performance, and as noted by Hollywood Life, the team was hot — literally — with their leather jackets catching fire as part of the act.
Samantha Johnson and Derek Hughes also did amazing performances that impressed the judges.
Comedian Drew Lynch won the hearts of the judges as well; the CraigLewis Band was a so-so for the judges; and mentalist Oz Pearlman did it again, leaving everyone in awe with his abilities.
As for the results, Samantha Johnson and The CraigLewis Band fell to the bottom three, joined by singer Benton Blount. These acts falling to the bottom three came as a surprise to judge Heidi Klum, as noted in the report.
However, it was a relief for Blenton Blount and The CraigLewis Band, since both were saved from elimination, with the latter being announced as the last to join the finalists.
Joining the two saved finalists were Pearlman, Hughes and Lynch — and that makes five finalists heading to the next round.
This means that it was a goodbye for Arielle Baril, Ira, Mountain Faith, Siro-A, Metal Mulisha, and Samantha Johnson.
"America's Got Talent" returns with new episodes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8pm on NBC.
