America Got Talent

No they are not related and have not always danced together.

That is good to know that at least they are not related. It it still about a 8.5 on the creepy scale, and we were saying that before Howie started to judge!

I don't get how it's creepy. I actually think those kids are adorable and they have perfect form. They're one of my favorite acts for sure.

You can see how much the kids love to dance and how excited they are to advance. It really means the world to them. I'm happy 4 them.

 

[iheartdisney]

I just find it creepy because they are children. Yes, they have perfect form. And yes, they are VERY talented dancers. In about 5 years, they could easily win the show. At this age, the moves are inappropriate, and not something I want to watch.

 

[ChicagoFitnessClub]

Really? Maybe I missed it then cause I didn't see anything inappropriate. It's not like Anna is grinding on Patryk and Patryk isn't slapping her booty.

I've been saying since it began that there should be an age limit, say 16yrs old. Too much pressure for young kids.I'm a mess watching them wait for results and seeing them cry. And really who's going to pay to see little kids perform on a Vegas stage?

Who would pay to see Kevin Skinner sing on stage? The answer is nobody. Given the choice between Skinner and Anna & Patryk, the choice is clear! A & P all the way.

I don't think any lesser known singer has much of a chance of pulling off a recurring show here simply because you have big stars doing recurring shows. Why see Kevin Skinner if you can see Celine Dion, Elton John, Bette Midler etc? Same goes for a couple of kids ballroom dancing. When you see a show in Vegas you want a spectacle, something that blows you away. To my knowledge we don't have any shows here that feature kids or have ever featured kids. Again, that I know of.

America forgets it's a Vegas show and leans towards singers but the ones who are maintaining a show and fan base are not singers or dancers, they are people like Terry Fader and Recycled Percussion. Price Poppycock will end up in Vegas whether he wins AIG or not. Any of the little kids win I'm sure they'll be paid handsomely to go on their merry way. I can't imagine a major hotel not having some kind of clause that leaves them a way to get out of it if they feel the performers can't hold an audience.

It really frustrates me that so many singers make it to the finals every year... )

Yes but unfortunately they have age limits. There aren't that many singing competitions for people over the age of 28. As a singer myself, I appreciate that older singers get a chance on AGT

I haven't seen anything inappropriate either. It's not like they're groping each other.

I agree with this. The little girl that sang last year was really cute and and way with the audience but I would not go to see her in Vegas.

The ballroom dancing isn't my thing either. I was with Howie when he said most of America wouldn't want to see this and for a whole hour....

We were just in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. There are magicians everywhere, including Kris Angel. Did see that Grandma Lee from last year was heading lining somewhere off the strip.Can't remember where though.

I've seen multiple people quoting Howie about America not wanting to see kids ballroom dancing. Well guess what Howie, America doesn't want to see Connor Doran fly his kite either but that didn't stop you from bringing him back as a wild card.

DH and I loved him and wished he had made it through this week. I am amazed by his act. It's so soothing and peaceful.

I wasn't a fan of the electricity. I found them boring. But when Howie commented on the results night that what they see as a live audience isn't fully translated to television...I wasn't surprised. I am gals the ballroom kids got through. The sisters should not have. It is amazing what they can do given their illnesses...but compared to Jackie Evancho...no contest.

My husband had an interesting comment...
The kite flying kid and the rock climbing artists seemed like they would be an excellent compliment to a Cirque du Soleil show. I agree with him. I'd pay to see them in an ensemble show...but not as a stand alone performance.

I thought the same thing.

 

[Lintasare]

I too am glad that AGT gives older and younger singers a venue. With AI I think the age range is 16-28. That means that Michael Grimm, Prince Poppycock and Alice Tan Ridley would not be able to compete on AI. And I think all 3 of them are wonderful. Though I am giving Michael all my votes.

I could do without singers like Taylor Matthews and Nathaniel Kenyon. However they appeal to the teen audience. Debra Romer has potential. Needs more stage presence and confidence.

Why is no one mentioning Fighting Gravity?? They are the best group that I have seen on the show this year and they will be getting my votes. I think that they have the most talent and the most ingenious show for vegas.. Vegas already has magicians... Too much singing as well.. We already have americas show for singing.

I'll be honest I am not a fan of them. Yes their act is interesting but they are a bunch of untrained college kids. While acts like ArcAttack, Michael Grimm, Antonio Restivo and others have years of experience with their talent.

How do you think that some of our greatest movie makers started out.. Steven spielberg was a "untrained" kid that went on to make millions by shooting special effects in his backyard. These "kids" have developed there talent and I for one would pay to see them preform live. Now granted they have to add some stuff to there show.. but right now they are limited to the two minute segments that AMGT lets them have..

Bad comparison to Steven Spielberg. He has been making movies and such since he was 8. Fighting Gravity started out last year. Hardly enough time to truly master an art form like Spielberg has.

Besides Spielberg impresses me with what he does...Fighting Gravity not so much.

 

[PixieDustandEeyore]

I don't usually like singers but Prince Poppycock has my vote ( I want something more unique than a guy singing on AGT) so Im all for Fighting Gravity, Prince Poppycock and maybe Murray (im also over magicians on the show too)

I am still sad ArcAttack left I wanted to see them, Fighting Gravity and Prince Poppycock in the finals!
