[edit] America's Got Talent

PBM appeared on the June 28, 2006 episode of NBC's America's Got Talent. Piers Morgan voted against bringing the band back, while both Brandy and David Hasselhoff gave 'yes' votes to advance PBM to the next round. On the July 19 episode, PBM was not asked to perform in the semifinal round; they were thus eliminated from the competition.
