June 03--Chicago dance group Freckled Sky were the raining champions on Tuesday's episode of "America's Got Talent."
The duo, both in their 20s, danced in the rain on stage and incorporated light-infused images for their audition in front of the "America's Got Talent" judges and audience. After the two-minute performance was over, judge Howard Stern hit the rarely-used golden buzzer to send the duo to the round of live shows in New York.
"It was spectacular. Spectacular. I gotta tell you, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for," Stern told the duo, whose studio is in River North. Stern invited Freckled Sky producer Val Syganevich to the stage to take a bow.
"He's a genius," Stern said.
Freckled Sky is not the only Chicago act to wow judges in Season 10. Last week, South Side native Chris Jones hypnotized judge Howie Mandel to move on to the next round.
"America's Got Talent" airs Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on NBC. The winner of the season-long reality-show competition gets $1 million.
