‘America’s Got Talent’ Recap: Chloe Channell Audition Video - Watch!

The stakes were higher than ever on the July 17 episode of ‘America’s Got Talent,’ as the last round of Vegas auditions brought out some incredible performances — but left some going back home!

Next stop, Radio City Music Hall! The July 17 episode of America’s Got Talent gave us one final round of auditions before the remaining contestants jet off to New York City and go head-to-head in the competition. Some contestants didn’t quite live up to expectations, while others blew us away!

Top 5 Performances For July 17

5. Special Head

While his stage name is strange to say the least, this performer still wowed us with his insane levitation skills. Special Head defied gravity — and managed to levitate over burning candles! He was completely bent over backwards and parallel to his knees. Special Head clearly has something “special,” and we wonder what he’ll do next.

4. Collins Key

This cute magician from Los Angeles was spot-on when he said, “There’s never been a teenage heartthrob with magic.” Well, now that we think about it, he’s right! The judges were stunned by his next magic trick. We love that he is able to connect with the judges with his act and take the shock value to a personal level. Mel B said over and over, “I love him,” but Howard Stern still thinks he can go bigger. We’ll see next week in New York, Howard!

3. Marty Brown

This country crooner, who made our hearts melt when he sang for his wife at his first audition, brought his voice back for another shot at stardom. He sang “When You Say Nothing At All,” and it was a simply wonderful performance. You can feel the love he has for his wife every time he sings. He absolutely deserved that spot on the stage at Radio City Music Hall, and we know his wife will be in the front row cheering him on.

2. Jonathan Allen

Talk about an inspiration. This 20-year-old man, who struggled with coming out to his parents, said that anytime he was lonely, “music was there.” Jonathan continues to blow us away with his incredible, operatic voice. He sang “First Time I Ever Saw Your Face,” and Heidi Klum was firmly championing his talent amongst the other judges. You can tell Jonathan really wants this chance to prove himself. We’re not going to lie, we were crying along with him when the judges told him he was going to Vegas.

1. Chloe Channell

This adorable country cutie continues to charm us with her southern sass. But that’s not all; Chloe has a voice that is absolutely incredible for an 11-year-old! She took on Reba McEntire’s “Turn On Your Radio” and proved she is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the country music world. Howie Mandel questioned her about whether or not she’s had breakups and she boldly said, “Well my dad said boys are the devil.” That’s it. We are in love with this adorable girl and her voice.

The Vegas round is over and the remaining contestants are moving on to New York City to perform live at Radio City Music Hall! The competition is about to get more intense than ever — we can’t wait!

Jonathan Allen & Travis Pratt Stun With Operatics : "America’s Got Talent" !

After a season premiere full of incredible performances, the bar was raised especially high for the June 11 contestants of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ So these acts upped the ante — and the emotion...

There’s almost too much talent on America’s Got Talent! The June 11 episode of the hit reality show brought a variety of performances, from unbelievable singers, to circus acts, to sassy kid ballroom dancers. The backgrounds behind some of these contestants were astonishing — and let’s just say there were a few tears in our eyes during some of them.

Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B were back again, this week in San Antonio and New Orleans. The talent just keeps on getting better, and we’re loving every minute of it.

Top 5 Performances From June 11 Episode

5. Sam Johnson: The Handstand Man

In the most death-defying stunt of the night, Sam stuns the audience as he does a handstand on top of an 80-foot pole — that’s swaying in the air, with no harness and no net. SAY WHAT?! Host Nick Cannon said it best: “There’s crazy people on this show,” but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Sam gets mad props for his bravery and we wonder what this circus-trained dad will bring next.

4. Alexanderia The Great: The Female Escape Artist

An escape artist is about the last thing you’d expect as an act from a 51-year-old mom. However, Alexanderia upped the girl power and was able to free herself — and relieve some of our anxiety — from her shackled hands and feet with 30 feet of chain wrapped around her. Did we mention this all took place underwater? After more than a minute and a half underwater, Alexanderia resurfaced and shocked everyone. Howie claimed, “I think Houdini has been reincarnated,” and Howard said, “That is a tough act follow.” Bravo, Supermom, bravo.

3. Paul Thomas Mitchell: Star On The Rise

This guy isn’t the hair aficionado. No, this 19-year-old songbird has star power all his own. After a rocky upbringing — his mom abandoned him and his dad is a recovering alcoholic — this kid has nothing to lose. In a velvety smooth voice, he sang his original song “My Life” and it was simply beautiful. The judges were widespread in their love for him and Howard said “I like the tune and I think you sold it as a performer.” We’re sold on Paul too, Howard, rest assured.

2. D’Angelo & Amanda: Dancing With The Kids

After his sister Ruby wowed the judges with her own ballroom dancing routine right before him, we wondered if this 12-year-old from Miami could upstage his little sister. He stole the show from his sister as he and his partner Amanda jazzed up the stage with their routine. This duo had precision far beyond their years and their dancing chemistry was off the charts. Howard even claimed that “This is why I came to San Antonio. I was waiting for you two.” Dancing With The Stars doesn’t have anything on these kids.

1. TIE: Travis Pratt & Jonathan Allen: Opera’s Next Biggest Hits

There was no way to choose between these two great performances. The first talent of the night was Travis Pratt, and in the most unsuspecting performance, he astonished everyone with his incredible operatic voice. Howie even asked if he was lip-syncing, and Howard called the audition “outrageous.” He revealed that he never would have auditioned if it wasn’t for his girlfriend, so he does what any incredibly romantic guy would do — and proposed to her on stage! She said yes; and after his exquisite performance, how could she not?

Jonathan Allen first touched our hearts as he revealed his parents kicked him out when he was 18 for being gay. Then, he amazed us with his marvelous rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s “Time To Say Goodbye,” and trust us, it was superb. He received a standing ovation from all four judges for his take on the famous operatic pop song and Howie declared, “With your talent, this show has become your family, and we’d like to say, ‘welcome home.’” Mel B, who sang with Bocelli, told Jonathan he did the song justice. It was just a totally unexpected, powerhouse performance.

The June 18 episode of America’s Got Talent is on at a special time (8/7c) so don’t miss it! Who knows what new talent the show is going to bring next!
