Showbiz has dished up some memorable odd couples.
David Bowie teaming up with Bing Crosby for a Christmas classic wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card. No one saw Metallica and Lou Reed coming, together. Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue melted minds with a one-off murder ballad in the mid-90s.
Add to the list a “country meets contortion” entry, thanks to Reba McEntire’s performance with Sofie Dossi for the America’s Got Talent results show.
On Wednesday night (Sept. 20), McEntire and her band rocked their way through “Can’t Even Get The Blues,” with Dossi, a contestant back in season 11, who performed precision acrobatic moves and hair-raising stunts on stage, above it and on the judges table.
The collaboration was a reunion of sorts. It was McEntire, who, as an AGT judge back in 2016, gave Dossi her Golden Buzzer. Dossi, aged just 14 at the time, finished in the top 10 during that run, then returned for America’s Got Talent: The Champions, where she was eliminated in the preliminaries. Now aged 22, Dossi has over 9 million subscribers on YouTube, and a music career of her own (2022’s “Bunny” has more than 7 million plays on YT).
McEntire is buckling in for another long-stint on reality TV. The country icon is joining season 24 of NBC’s The Voice as its new coach. Starting from next Monday (Sept. 25), she’ll be seated next to John Legend, Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan.
McEntire and Dossi didn’t provide the only entertainment of the evening on AGT. Two acts were voted into next week’s finals — the vocal ensemble 82nd Airbone Division Chorus and acrobats the Ramadhani Brothers, while a last-minute instant save provided a lifeline for dance troupe Avantgardey.
They head into next Wednesday’s final, where they compete with vocal group Mzansi Youth Choir, singers Lavender Darcangelo and Putri Ariani, dance groups Chibi Unity and Murmuration, magician Anna Deguzman, comedian Ahren Belisle, and canine specialists Adrian Stoica & Hurricane.
