'Talent' sends four acts to semifinals

On the America's Got Talent
results show Wednesday, 12 YouTube acts from Tuesday night were narrowed down to four.
Moments after the show opened, Nick Cannon introduced special guest Gabby Douglas, who appeared in shiny tight pants, heels, gold medals around her neck and her (famous) hair not in a ponytail! It was parted in the middle and flowing long, down below her shoulders.
Chatter on Twitter included one person who said Gabby was "all glammed up." Another said she "looks so pretty tonight." Shesomajor.com reports that Gabby and her mom Natalie Hawkins visited celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson in New York City on Tuesday and had her ponytail blown out straight.
The Talent
crowd chanted, "U-S-A!" and Gabby flashed her big smile, as judges Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel stood and cheered her with the rest of the crowd.
She wound up helping Nick host the show, standing by him on stage to introduce acts and clip segments.

The first group brought on stage for results included Cast in Bronze, Academy of Villains and Reverse Order. Advancing act: Academy of Villains.
Pop duo Karmin performed a mashup of their hit Brokenhearted
and new single Hello. Gabby did a good job of chatting with them a little after they performed.
Second group brought on stage: 7 in Unison, Bria Kelly and Rudy Coby. Advancing: Bria Kelly.
Third group brought on stage: The Magic of Puck, Eric Buss and Melinda Hill. Advancing: The Magic of Puck.
Before the final act was announced, YouTube comedian Randall "the Honeybadger Whisperer" did a little of his shtick, which is to narrate clips of animals, but instead he narrated clips of the Talent
judges.
And then we saw footage of "A Day in the Life of Howard Stern," starting with his SiriusXM radio show (he interviewed David Arquette). And then following him as he took a car from Manhattan to New Jersey for America's Got Talent
. "That couple of miles can take you an hour and a half sometimes," explained Stern. "Going out West in a covered wagon would be easier than getting to Newark."
A police escort helped him out once he got into Jersey. We then saw him in his dressing room, eating a plate of food, and then he said he takes a nap on his couch for an hour before doing the show. Afterward, he heads home.
"I don't get a police escort every day," Howard told Nick after the segment ended. "I'm not Mariah Carey."
Final group brought on stage: Romeo Dance Cheetah, Drew Erwin and Clint Carvalho and his Extreme Parrots. Romeo Dance Cheetah was sent home.
It was left to the judges to pick whether Drew or Clint would advance. It was pretty obvious that they all loved Clint's act. Advancing: Clint Carvalho and his Extreme Parrots.
