Simon Cowell called one act 'absolutely bloody awful' and said they could officially call the show America Does Not Have Talent on Tuesday's America's Got Talent quarterfinals on NBC.
Simon was referring to Seth Allison who goes by Sethward who performed in a giant peacock costume. Sethward tumbled down a flight of stairs, acted as if he had been burned by pyrotechnics and then was lifted above the stage, rising from the supposed ashes as a phoenix after the audience said they wanted to see him fly.
Simon almost immediately buzzed him off. Sethward was just one of 12 contestants that competed on AGT's Live show quarterfinals live at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for only seven spots to move through to the next round.

The show opened with the Canine Stars, professionally trained rescue dogs plucked from shelters.
Their handlers joked before the dogs took the stage that appearing on AGT had already gone to their puppy heads and now they insisted on only traveling via private jet.
For their act, the dogs not only impersonated the judges playing poker but also jumped on cue and caught frisbees and balls on stage. One black dog even moved around balanced on top of a giant ball.
