Tonight on America’s Got Talent, the celebrity judges seemed to turn on Mountain Faith following their spirited rendition of Can’t Feel My Face by Canadian R&B singer Abel Tesfaye, who bills himself as The Weekend.
The producers had created a down home, fall-oriented set for the band this week, with Summer McMahan singing seated without her fiddle, and bandmates Cory Piatt and Luke Dotson sitting on the edge of the stage.
To my ear, there was nothing different in the manner or style of their performance, but all of the judges suggested immediately that it was lackluster compared to their previous appearances.
Have the producers decided that this is as far as they want a bluegrass band to get in the competition?
