Fab Five clog into finals

Though they were sworn to secrecy about appearing on "America's Got Talent" in the weeks preceding the NBC show, the clogging Whitear sisters, aka The Fab Five, are now making themselves known nationwide.

On Wednesday night, the five sisters from Morgan, Utah, were selected for the final round of the show and will compete against nine other acts for a chance to headline a Las Vegas concert and a $1 million prize.

The Fab Five know they will have to give everything they've got in the finals, though. They owe their spot in the championship round to the judges, who broke their own rule and allowed the fifth-place act to continue along with the fourth place group, Voices of Glory.

"We were totally shocked," said LaChere Vawdrey, the oldest of the sisters, who range in age from 23-35. "We just loved Voices of Glory so much." Vawdrey and her sisters Shaundalee Morgan, Ayrion Myers, Cambria Gibson and Veva Ahlstrom, all wives and mothers, flew into Salt Lake City International Airport Thursday afternoon and will head back to Las Vegas on Tuesday to continue rehearsals.

The Whitear clan — including mother Valerie Whitear and husbands and children of the sisters — greeted the Fab Five at the airport with shouts and a rush to hug the now-famous moms.

After embracing their husbands and family, most of whom were in the audience for Wednesday night's performance, the sisters were asked by KSL what they have in the works for the show's finale.

Third-oldest sister Myers said they plan to do something "completely different" to wow the judges in the final competition.

But ultimately, the women's main goal is to have a good routine, no matter what the outcome.

"They just wanted to show people what they can do in the form of dance they like," said Whitear."They're not out there to beat everyone; they are just there to do their best — that's their motto."

If The Fab Five do happen to take the grand prize, however, the money will go to good use.

Gibson said the money would be used to pay medical bills of her son, Rhett, who has a severe case of cystic fibrosis, along with assisting Vawdrey's's family when their son with kidney disease needs a transplant. The sisters also plan to help their parents, since their father lost his farm in the bad economy.

Still, Gibson said the money was not the main motivation to go on the show.
