Nick Cannon kicked off the premiere of "America's Got Talent" live shows with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall last night. The Rockettes are true New York City icons and have entertained millions of fans with their unrivaled talent, glamour, strength, precision and athleticism.
NBC's top-rated summer series selected the Top 60 acts who now compete for the coveted $1 million grand prize. The live competition continues tonight at 9-10 p.m. ET on NBC. Last season, traveling dog act Olate Dogs was crowned the winner. Olate Dogs is a high-energy, fast-paced dog act filled with impressive pet tricks led by Richard Olate and his son Nicholas Olate. In season six in 2011, West Virginia native Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. beat out thousands of acts to take home the coveted $1 million grand prize. He signed with Columbia/Syco records and released his first album, "That's Life," that November. Murphy Jr. is currently performing in select U.S. cities. Mississippi-born soul singer Michael Grimm was named the winner of the fifth season's competition. The win moved the humble soul singer to tears as he took home the show's $1 million prize. After headlining the national "America's Got Talent Tour," he toured with the legendary Stevie Nicks and Heart. Season five also brought national attention to then-10-year-old classical singer Jackie Evancho, who has gone on to release several best-selling albums.Videos
