••• America's Got Talent •••

I don't see why they spend time on dumb acts
like the girl who hugs people and I'm disappointed in
Neil Patrick Harris for using the golden button to put
Piff the Magic Dragon through to NYC Radio Music shows.

He's funny and a good magician but that seemed like a
waste of a special chance for better performers to move
ahead imho.

I agree. Waste their time on some stupid acts. The magician should do a disappearing act. Can't believe he made it through.

I didn't understand using the golden button on that act either. I didn't understand why the hugging lady made it through the first time.

Only 6 more can go through.

Hard to pick!

We have a young lady ventriloquist down here who is very talented. She tried out for the show once, but they were not "warm" to such an act. Too bad for them.

That's too bad Stylish Lady.

I think the first winner of AGT
WAS a ventriloquist act.

I don't watch that show anymore because of number of really stupid acts that get on. I think some acts make an impression on people because of their novelty, but after you watch them for a couple of minutes, then what? Isn't the point of the show that the winner gets their own show in Vegas? How many of these acts would you want to sit and watch a whole show of?

I very much agree; she had no talent IMO and such a waste of time for the others that do.

When Piff did his act the first time, we figured it would be either really good or really bad. I actually like his act.

Another stupid act IMO was the guy with the interpreter; his attempt at starting a fire was just plain weird.

I was happy to see that the comedian went through.

The hugging lady was the stupidest thing ever.

I thought the hugging lady was a weird act too. But I like Piff the dragon magician. Now would I have used the golden buzzer on him? No, but I think hes good and funny.

Since there are so many other shows
for singers I wish AGT would concentrate
on other types of acts.

Funny you should mention that. Nick Fradiani- last seasions winner of American Idol- was on AGT the season before! His group made it to the second or third round, I don't think he went to Radio City. But one year later he found his way to the AI stage!!

Terry Fator won the 2nd season - Bianca Ryan won the 1st. I watched the show off and on in the beginning- but when Howard Stern came on board I've watched regularly. Not so much becasue of liking or not liking Howard Stern. But that I'm able to see live shows since it's in the tri state area. First NJPAC in Newark (gorgeous venue!) - now Radio CIty. I've gone to many audition shows (couldn't even count)] - and probably 10 live shows over the years!

And yes, that hugging act was ridiculous! Another one from the auditions I couldn't stand was the guy that regurgitated stuff- yuk. I think he got 4 'yes' votes!

The first magician that was on the other night bombed- what a shame. I think NPH hit the golden buzzer for Piff because he really stood out with both performing the same night. Almost an unfair advantage!

Whille the costume was not a good look, it was his gimmick. He was really a great magicial and NPH is a magcian and he would recognize talent and greatness in that area.

Agreed! He was memorable in every way.

Anyone watching still? I am - and I've even attended two of the 'live' shows at Radio City!!

Re: ••• America's Got Talent •••

NickNack — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 22:17:06 GMT

I'm still watching. I enjoy it. I don't understand why the judges like the Regurgitator though. I can't watch him.

Re: ••• America's Got Talent •••

The Professional Regurgitator Mel B said it best last night - 'I feel so violated!' I'm surprised Heidi likes him as much as she does- she's been a traditionalist for the most part. And what about Howie Mandals stupid comment? TPTB must have gotten on his case really fast becasue he was apoligizing by the end of the commercial break
