America's Got Talent Loses Respect

Saturday, July 10, 2010

America's Got Talent is a great show, but these cuts that America's Got Talent have made for the round of 48 are very poor and makes me question the judging with new judge Howie Mandel in the panel. This past week has allowed some really awful acts get put through at the expense of excellent acts other than the magician fiasco that I mentioned in a previous post.



This above act makes it because it is "so bad its funny" while genuinely talented acts like the homeless veteran singers do not make it. Do not get me wrong I do not evaluate acts based on how inspirational they are and I personally hate how emotions take a role in talent competition. That being said New Direction Homeless Choir certainly has talent and deserves to go to Las Angeles. I thought their Vegas performance was better than their audition but I could not find it on YouTube. Below is their audition, which made it to Vegas but didn't get to go to LA while Ronith and other weak acts did make it.



The good news, is that many good acts are still in the competition such as Future Funk and Fighting Gravity which were my two favorite acts going into Vegas.
