Academy of Villains Called “Best” Of America’s Got Talent YouTube Night

“America’s Got Talent” returned on Tuesday with 12 acts pulled from YouTube, but according to the judges, only one made the night worthwhile.

Theater-based hip-hop dance company Academy of Villains blew away the panel and the audience with their routine, which featured the troupe dressed almost as if they were extras from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.

And the audition was (almost) as exciting.

“Finally something to crow about,” Howard Stern exclaimed after the performance, which had been preceded by a number of mediocre — and just plain terrible — acts.

Sharon Osbourne, who along with Howie Mandel gave a standing ovation, agreed, saying, “It’s been a tough one tonight but it was worth it to get you.”

Mandel said the dancers were “the best thing about tonight’s show,” and even begged viewers to vote them into the semi-finals.

    Last nights AGT was horrible one of the worst hours of tv ever. Maybe even worst then the Olympic opening ceremonies.

    I agree Academy of Villains was the best part of tonight’s show. I love the concept of theatrical hip hop dance and thought they were really creative. You can tell they work really hard! Yes they definitely have my vote! I watch this show every week and thanks to my Hopper it automatically records all prime time programming on major networks with the Prime Time Anytime feature. Thankfully my Dish coworker suggested this upgrade because it saves me so much time and is so effortless. I love not having to set up any timers!
