Bad Boys of Ballet perform on America's Got Talent 2014 Semi Finals (VIDEO)

Bad Boys of Ballet performed on America's Got Talent 9 Semi Finals 1 on Tuesday, August 26, 2014.

I liked this a lot more than their Quarter Finals performance, as I thought this was a fun, high-energy routine that really showed the versatility of the act. They perform a routine set to Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way," and while I'm not sure they're going to win any converts with this performance, I thought it was smart of the group to add more contemporary moves, and to deliver such an energetic performance. If there was any drawback, it's that the lead dancer leaves the stage for some reason, only to come out wearing running shorts. It's strange, and was immediately noticeable. That said, I don't think it ruined the performance or anything. I thought this was a fun routine.

-Mel B thought they were great, and gives them a standing ovation. Howard, however, somehow links with me telepathically and gets on the lead dancer's case for disappearing from the stage for 45 of their 90 seconds to wow America. He says that she says she can't be a gimmick like Gypsy Rose Lee, if she's going to be in the next round. Heidi is more forgiving, praising the group and their skill. However, Howie doesn't think this is a million dollar act, saying they felt like background dancers. In her interview with Nick, the lead dancer tears into Howard by saying she was only gone from the stage for "two counts of eight," and then says she's not a gimmick, and that "background dancers" needs to stop being used a pejorative term. Yeah...this outburst isn't going to do her group any favors in the voting, I predict.
