America's Got Talent?

If so, any thoughts to the top choices for the live shows that are starting next week?

I'm always so angry about their hokey choices that you can tell are just to get ratings, especially when such great talent has already been cut and had deserved a spot more. Luckily the good acts far outnumber the shitty ones that slide through so I keep watching in spite if that crap.

I didn't like that the two individual dancers got through.
Even more so that the one that goes to live shows is the one that dislocates his arms to a beat. No actual dancing.

I didn't see if the 16YO dancer got through. I hope she did, she was really good. If not, she needs to go on "So you think you can dance"

[OrangePixyStix]

I couldn't believe how many good acts were cut right off the bat without getting another performance, like those Bandaz Brothers or whatever, the guys who balanced eachother on top of their heads. That shit was amazeballs and I wanted to see more, but I guess not on that show.

[pilife]

YES! I was also pissed that the short guy got through and not the two tap dancing old ladies.

Neither were that great. Either both stay or both go. They should have both gone. I have NO idea what the appeal is in him.

...Big someone was his name.

Oh, that 16 year old DID make it, her name is Lindsey Norton from Florida (I had to look it up to be sure).

I really like that couple from Austin with the girl singer and guy guitarist (that are NOT dating, lol). I hope they keep up the good performances!

At the beginning I try not to invest too much into the acts (pick favorites, remember name, etc) because they always get cut early off (What does the say about my taste!?)

So now that we're on live I'll make more of an effort.

The black hair, black eyeliner, crazy eye kid that sang really well is good, but he bothered me. It was almost like the "look" was to be noticeable despite his mad skills.
..kind of like me telling D to pretend to be blind

I think I remember the goth opera singer to be from Katy, my home town! lol

He didn't make it, his nerves got the better of him in the last round and he got cut. Really all the opera singers in that category were underwhelming this time.

There was on I remember wasn't half bad, but the point of the show is to give them a vegas act and I just can't see anyone going "OMG! Let's go to vegas and watch.. opear?" No, it's hos and excitement.

I like all the light shows.

Until very recently I called this show "Two Brits and a Canadian judge America".

[mayflowers22]

I stopped watching after Piers left.

[OrangePixyStix]

Me too, and that mutant-strength couple that must be on steroids (they totally could do a Vegas show). They wore matching jeweled body suits that had me and the H in a fit if giggles, the man's junk was delicately covered in the jewels and we could not stop staring at him. Now I have to PIP it since I'm talking about it.

[pilife]

Exactly!!
THAT[/i] is what Vegas is about.

I was disappointed when Goth-opera got booted. I really wanted to hear more.
Two acts I really want GONE: nut shots and tiny old man screeching Sinatra.
