Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Chicago's FootworKINGz kick off the show with a theatrical entrance and then show off their dance skills. The audience loves the performance, as the guys continue to take it up a notch. Piers thinks they are the most improved act he's ever seen, Sharon thinks the guys are brilliant, and David thinks the guys are off the charts.

Marcus Terrell takes the stage without his Serenades, but three different back-up singers. Sharon thinks Marcus is just fabulous and his new back-up singers are extra special, David loves the new back-up girls and thinks Marcus is worthy of Vegas, and Piers thinks Marcus handles the pressure brilliantly.

The pint-size dancers known as Pixie Mystere hit the stage determined to prove to the judges that even though they are young, they are still worthy of winning it all. After their performance, David thinks the girls brought their A-game, Piers says their performance is fun and Sharon thinks they are brilliant.

Magician Jay Mattioli does his magic while showing off some very fun dance moves at the same time. Unfortunately, Sharon and Piers buzz their "X" buttons on Jay during his act. Piers says nothing about Jay's act is surprising, Sharon agrees with Piers, and David likes Jay's attitude and thinks he can improve.

17-year-old Bri sings "Poker Face" on the piano and adds a fun twist on the song with back-up dancers. Sharon thinks that Bri owned the song and loves that she sticks to her individuality, David thinks the entire performance was terrific, and Piers is very excited to say that Bri was the total package.

U4RIA Dance Crew is determined to prove to the judges that they deserve the wildcard position in the competition. David loves the entire performance because it was so different, Piers says they are the first wildcard act that he would like to see come back, and Sharon loves the routine but says they still need to work on their dancing.

Dave Johnson knows that an opportunity to do fun songs on stage in front of millions doesn't come around that often. This time, instead of a tribute to The Hoff, David chooses the "Golden Girls." All three judges push their "X" buttons. Piers tells David he couldn't pull it all together, Sharon thinks David's performance wasn't her thing and it was a good try and David agrees.

Hairo Torres takes his dancing routine up a notch with back-up dancers and props. The audience loves it. Sharon thinks Hario's got great moves but is unsure he can sustain an audience, David thinks Hairo's great and entertaining, and Piers agrees with David.

The trio rock band known as G-Force takes the stage to sing for the judges. Piers pushes his "X" button on the tween-aged rock group. David thinks the girls are a little off in their vocals but he still considers them a favorite, Piers thinks the music was great but the vocals were not good, and Sharon thinks their first performance was better.

Jeffrey Ou comes out playing a beautiful ballad on the piano, but breaks into an Elton John classic with back-up dancers accompanying him. David feels Jeffrey doesn't need the back-up dancers and couldn't hear the piano due to technical issues, Piers likes that Jeffrey took a risk, and Sharon prefers Jeffrey doing classical songs.

The husband and wife team of Mario and Jenny take their risky act up a notch with fire and more balancing. Sharon adores the act and thinks the performance belongs in Las Vegas, David loves that they always step up their game, and Piers wishes them all the luck.

Lawrence Beamen is the last act to perform and sings a slow ballad for the audience and they love it. He even gets a standing ovation from Piers. Sharon calls Lawrence smooth like velvet, David thinks Lawrence has a chance to take it all, and Piers thinks that Lawrence was the best of the night and calls him the new Barry White.
