Avery and the Calico Hearts

Avery and the Calico Hearts were a singing group act from Season 6 of America's Got Talent. They were eliminated in the Quarterfinals, but they returned for the Wild Card Show, where they were eliminated again.

Background
Five years before their audition, Avery Winter, Brooklyn Elbert and Kassidy King met at the Cactus Theater in Lubbock, Texas and quickly formed a group. Though they weren't even old enough to start kindergarten, they began performing regularly at the theater and throughout West Texas for audiences as large as 80,000 people. They have become best friends, and when they aren't singing, they love hanging out at sleepovers or shopping. They dream of touring the world together and meeting Justin Bieber. 1

Audition
Avery and the Calico Hearts's audition consisted of singing in harmony to Justin Bieber's "Baby." Piers Morgan stated he was going to buzz them, but he decided not to. Although he voted "No," Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel both voted "Yes," sending the act to the Vegas Round.



Vegas Round
Avery and the Calico Hearts were one of the Standby Acts in the Vegas Round. They were sorted into the "Kid Acts" category. Their performance consisted of singing "It's Your Thing." Their audition was strong enough for the judges to send them to the Quarterfinals along with SH'Boss Boys.



Quarterfinals
Avery and the Calico Hearts' Quarterfinals performance consisted of singing "I Wish." The act did not receive enough votes to finish in at least fifth place in America's Vote, eliminating them from the competition along with Frank Miles and Taylor Davis, instead of Fatally Unique.
