That has to be the longest and lamest headline ever, as the insane city-hopping tour that is America's Got Talent continues its audition phase. Thankfully, this repetitious cluster-fudge of travel is almost over, with only one more hour-long night ahead of us, advertised as the best of the best (so what the hell have we been watching??) before we head off to Las Vegas. But before we start whittling down the talented portion of the field even further, what was the one act to keep your eye on from Tuesday night's episode? We made stops in Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York City, our third, second and third trips to each city, respectively. //www.buddytv.com/articles/americas-got-talent/americas-got-talent-los-angele-50564.aspx

As they took the stage, the judges weren't sure what was going to happen. When the largest of the four men shed his top and the others started slapping him in rhythm, the crowd went crazy.As for the judges, all but one of them seemed on board. Somehow, Howard Stern, of all people, was the one who didn't quite like the performance. Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B. all agreed that Tummy Talk should move on, if only based on crowd reaction. Since all you need is three approvals, the act will head to the Las Vegas round.It didn't hurt that the drummers also took... //blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/07/americas-got-talent-youtube-stars-tummy-talk-confuse-the-judges.html
