Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Recycled Percussion is the first act to go on stage in the semifinals. They use the backdrop of a body shop and different props in their performance, and the audience goes wild. Piers likes how the guys are creative and inventive; Sharon agrees with Piers. David is sure these guys will end up in the finals.

The second act to hit the stage in the semifinals is Lawrence Beamen. He performs Alicia Keys' "Fallin'" and receives a standing ovation when he's finished. Sharon loves Lawrence's voice, but thinks his singing was a little all over the place, David thinks Lawrence chose a great song, and Piers admits he wasn't a big fan of the performance.

The pint-size dancing act of Erik and Rickie dance to Michael Jackson's Black and White. Piers shows he's not a fan by pushing his "X" button. David thinks the act is great and says the kids are ready for Vegas, Piers thought it was a bad song choice for the kids to dance to, and Sharon found no faults in the performance.

Pianist Jeffrey Ou plays the piano and controls the strobe lights with every key he hits. Piers loses patience and pushes his "X" button. Piers thought the entire performance was out of control, much like his hair, Sharon thinks the piano-playing as a bit out there, and David agrees with Sharon.

Hairo Torres is the next act to perform and sets the scene to a high school dance as he performs his own unique dance moves. The audience cheers on the performance and gives Hairo a standing ovation. Sharon enjoys Hairo's new dance steps, David calls Hairo's entire performance entertaining, and Piers agrees with David's comments.

The EriAm Sisters take the stage to sing a ballad to the audience. Piers thought the girls were a bit shaky in the beginning, but they later showed their confidence on stage, Sharon agrees with Piers' comments and thinks the girls need to work on their arrangement, and David thinks the girls finished strong in their performance.

Husband-and-wife team Mario and Jenny take their unusual performance act to the stage with sparks and Marilyn Manson music. Mario even tap dances as his wife dances. Piers, once again, has to push his "X" button. He tells the duo that they blew the entire performance, Sharon disagrees with Piers and thinks they are ready for Vegas, and David agrees with Sharon and thinks the husband and wife are entertaining.

Singer Drew Stevyns takes to the stage with his guitar to perform for the judges and audience. The audience loves Drew's ability to take a slow song and turn it into rock and roll. Sharon likes that Drew made the song his own but didn't enjoy the song choice, David admired Drew taking a risk, and Piers thinks Drew's gamble paid off.

FootworKINGz take to the stage for more of their high-intensity dancing that the audience loves, this time set to the Power Rangers. Piers continues his reign and pushes his "X" button and Sharon quickly follows suit. David wants to see more dancing from the guys, Piers thinks they committed career suicide, and Sharon thinks the guys don't know how to get creative with their dancing.

Barbara Padilla closes the show with her opera singing performance. Piers says Barbara's performance left him speechless; he tells her that she was made to be a superstar, which brings tears to Barbara's eyes. Sharon loves how Barbara goes beyond in her performance and she bows down to Barbara, and David calls Barbara's performed blessed.
