America's Got Talent

[Taz_Zoee]

Is anyone watching this? I've never really watched it before, but there's really nothing else on at the moment (besides So You Think You Can Dance).

Tonight there was a guy on there and the whole thing reminded me of Susan Boyle. I mean, he didn't sing as well as her, but he sang a Garth Brooks song amazingly! His name is Kevin Skinner. I'll have to look tomorrow and see if I can find a link to his performance. Unless someone beats me to it, but I'm off to bed now.

This?

ETA: If that is the right link I want to punch the judges and producers in thier throats.

Yes, that's the one. I'm afraid to ask why you want to punch the producers and judges.

I love this show! My husband and I watch every season (although we unfortunately had to miss last night's show). There is actually a website for the show that you can view the acts on. That's what I'll have to do when I get home from work tonight.

Judges on these talent shows are always obnoxious. . .that what's expected from them. We are just interested in seeing what's out there and what sort of "talent" folks bring to the stage. There are some really great acts. On the first season there was a guy named Cas Hailey who I loved - he came in second.

I like this better than American Idol (which I don't watch) because it's not all about the "beautiful people". It really is about talent.

My family watches that show and Kevin gave me goose bumps, he could win the whole thing he was great!

I love that show and really enjoyed watching last night.

I loved hearing Kevin sing!!! I liked the 14 year old girl too. They were both great!!!

They are going to rerun it tonight before the new show airs.

That 14 year old girl (Thia Magia) is from Tracey, Ca. Which is very close to me. She was very good too! If she doesn't win this she should definitely do American Idol in two years.

I watched it last night, possibly a rerun. The one thing I noticed, and did NOT like, was the amount of time they focus on things other than the performer. I don't care about the guy standing in the wings, or what the audience is doing/not doing (a whole lot of bad behavior last night). I want to see the performers!!

Last night's show wasn't as good at the night before in my opinion. I liked the dancing dog the best.

I have never watched this shows past seasons. But I'm going to have to guess they cut away from the performances a lot because this is the audition rounds. I think they don't want to give the whole performance because then people would be tired of seeing it again when it comes time to vote. That's just my guess.

Well, last night was not so good either. I would have expected more talent coming out of LA.

I missed it again yesterday for the second week in a row. I like it better than "American Idol". I like how encouraging David Hasselhoff is.

cassiesmom, you can see the full episodes on nbc.com: http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/video/episodes/

I've never watched this show before but I completely agree with Cataholic...I want to see the people performing, not the judges, not the audience! I really like the show though...some of the things people think of are just too much! Like the guy that had his big toe perform?? WHAT was he thinking??? I was dying with laughter!!!!
