Check out a few of the folks that will head to Chicago and represent central Illinois with their talent!

After offering up FAST PASS audition prizes for America's Got Talent Season 8 auditions in Chicago, we received many requests. 6 acts recieved those precious tickets and are guranteed a hassle free audition on January 26th or 27th at McCormick place.

Who got the tickets?

• Singer Esther Kaiser of Hudson
• Singer Jessica Ping of Pontiac
• Singer Somer Moline of Galesburg
• Singer Megan Forman of Saybrook

But wait, there's more. Two acts also sent video of their talents. These folks are really great!

First up : Bloomington's own Jalen White & Walter Maybell

We are representing F.A.C.E dance studio. We've both been dancing for 10 years+. We do Animation dancing and would like to one day be recognized throughout the world. We've never wanted anything so bad in our lives. So please enjoy the video.

AND...Leah Marlene, who sang live for us last year in the WBNQ studio before heading off to St. Louis to audition for AGT in 2012. (Yep, she got a fast pass for that day too, and impressed the judges so much that auditioned more than once that day!)

Click HERE for audition information links for this weekend in Chicago. You can still go without a fast pass, but you may be waiting in line all day. Best of luck and let us know if you get cast!
