Season 16 of America’s Got Talent” continues tonight with Episode 5, which brings another batch of hopefuls who will try to impress the judges. A consistent summertime ratings hit, “America’s Got Talent” has also been notable this season for the knockout performances by two Portland-based singers.
As viewers who watched last week’s episode saw, Jimmie Herrod, a singer with the Portland-based band Pink Martini, dazzled the audience and judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara.

So impressive was Herrod’s rendition of “Tomorrow,” the “Annie” chestnut that Cowell had earlier said was his least favorite song, that Vergara hit the “Golden Buzzer.” That gesture sent a flurry of glittering confetti down on Herrod, and meant that he gets to go straight to the live rounds.
Those rounds come later in the season, when viewers will be able to vote for their favorites. The ultimate winner of “America’s Got Talent” will earn the $1 million prize.
Herrod’s performance came a week after Storm Large, who also sings with Pink Martini, brought the judges and audience to their feet with her dynamic, sexy take on the pop standard, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”
How will the performers on tonight’s fifth round of auditions do? We’ll just have to tune in, and watch what happens.
“America’s Got Talent” airs from 8-10 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, on NBC.
