Not yet to Las Vegas, the competition continues

Neal E. Boyd fans in Southeast Missouri are eager to see their home-grown talent show back up on prime time TV, but Tuesday wasn't the night for that.

Instead, the initial auditions continued in New York City, where acts from a young Chinese contortionist adopted by an American family to a song-and-dance troupe that mixed hip hop and ragtime thrilled the audience. And, of course, there were plenty of acts that didn't.

But as the show goes on, Boyd's local fans get to see more of the people who are competing against him. Watch video below of some of the strong performances from the latest episode.
