AceShowbiz - "America's Got Talent returned with a new episode on Tuesday, June 4. The second round of the show's season 14 auditions opened with Jonathan Burns, who crawled out of a suitcase which was brought to the stage by host Terry Crews. The cartoonist went on doing some bizarre performances before concluding it with taking off his underwear.
"That was like Napoleon Dynamite but bendy," said new judge Julianne Hough. Simon Cowell, meanwhile, admitted that he was curious to see his next perfomance. Jonathan moved to the next round.
The next performer was 14-year-old singer Benicio Bryant. He opted to sing a gorgeous rendition of Brandi Carlile's "The Joke", earning him a standing ovation from the audience. "I think you're a real find," Simon said.
The Emerald Belles, a high-kicking group from Texas, performed next. They flaunted their amazing skills by making no mistake in their incredibly synchronized performance. "You brought it!" Gabrielle Union raved. While Howie Mandel wasn't really impressed by it, Gabrielle, Julianne and Simon gave the group another chance to show more.
Acrobat group The Messouidi Brothers then offered a jaw-dropping act. Simon praised them for their "star presence." Unsurprisingly, they got a yes from all 4 judges.
Indian duo Karamjit and Karawjit Singh followed it up with danger acts which involved one of them having salt poured over his eyes before getting blindfolded. He went around smashing the coconuts and melons on the ground and one point, he nearly smashed the other guy's head. Howie dubbed the act the "craziest and most dangerous thing I've ever seen," and the duo headed to the next round.
The next performance was from a girl group named GFORCE who sang an original song. "I can definitely hear this song on Radio Disney already," Gabrielle said. They moved to the next round.
Singing Nat King and Natalie Cole's version of "Unforgettable", Adaline Bates proved that she wasn't just an ordinary singer. Her unique vibe sent her to the next round. Performing next was standup comedian Ryan Niemiller. "I think you are amazing," Simon gushed after Ryan successfully made everyone laugh out loud.
Light Balance Kids, the young version of fan-favorit Ukrainian LED dance group Light Balance, then hit the stage to offer an Iron Man-themed performance. "Your skill is at the level of an adult," Julianne said of the group, who was sent to the next round.
Magician Nicholas Wallace asked Gabrielle to join him in his act that involved some type of voodoo doll. "You are amazing. I love your presentation," said Howie. The judges gave Nicholas a yes.
Joseph Allen concluded the night. The 21-year-old singer/songwriter performed an original song which was incredibly epic. He mixed rap with vocals and he started crying at the end of his performance. Everyone was mind-blown and Howie didn't hesitate to press his Golden Buzzer for Joseph.
