America’s Got Talent??

Should change the name to AST America Seeks Talent!
I mean for every 10 acts , 8 are from another country and the other 2 are trying to sound or act like they’re from another country?? Entertaining? I guess but just saying!

    You ain’t missing a lot Jess but being in the entertainment field for my entire life it’s hard to watch it but I still do! America Seeks Talent is its new name in our home! Fwee Sampo perhaps? Nah, there are already enough other members puking up the site.!

    B)The MAYAS

    I think these women won it last year. We watch it. There's a new group that does this routine this year. They're pretty darn good too.

    The only time I have watched it is when someone posts a video from the show like Tony above.

    They used to have A LOT of BS acts that were a waste of our time for sure. :s

    I think they upped the talent acts and dissed the garbage acts now. I'm not sure if we watched this whole season or not but what we have seen has been pretty good.

    Now the judges... :|

    I saw this new group again tonight. There are about 80 of them. I didn't catch their name.

    They use their arms in unique ways that amaze people. B)

    They might win this season. ;) They're really good!!! Seriously.

    I got suckered in a few years ago when this young girl performed as a ventriloquist and sang. She was amazing. Check out the first 5 minutes of the video below.

    I enjoyed it and there were some great acts, but the show became repetitive and “staged” so I only lasted two seasons.

    America's got debt, inflation, and moral decline. Talent is questionable.

    I think Darcy won that year.

    There's a new young girl ventriloquist that's pretty darn good too this year. Her puppets need upgrading though. I hope she makes it to the top 5.

    Murmuration or Avantgardey didn't win? :o:s

    I never saw the guy and his dog acts so there's that, but...They (cough, cough) won.

    I did see Simon saying he LOVED that guy and his dog right after their performance a few weeks ago. I missed the act though.

    Let's see if Vegas wants to pay to see this man and dog act. Maybe the powers that be will bring in that girl and her dog who performed some great stuff a year or two ago, to join him.

    Murmuration's Creator got the idea after seeing the Starlings dance. I saw it twice in my life. A million were doing this as we drove for a long time on 95 with a wide open sky. It was cool! Another time was just a couple of hundred somewhere north of us just a bit.
