America Got Talent

[ChicagoFitnessClub]

Aww…. I'm gonna have to stand up for my girls. I'm not saying that they are the best singers but their story is so inspirational! My nephew has CF. It's a brutal disease, It's really amazing that they can sing at all. I know it's a talent competition but I'm gonna keep routing for them. If anything they are raising awareness for the disease!

Believe me, I like them as people. And I was happy they made it past the first couple stages. But I think their time on the show should have ended at the last stage. An inspirational story should only take you so far.

Christina and Ali's story is inspirational...and that is their only talent. They are mediocre singers with no business in the competition and no hope of ever having a Las Vegas act. Neither did Connor Doran (who I liked better as an inspiration than the girls). At least his stuff was unique.

I don't want a singer to win. I want a sensational unique talent.

Unfortunately I don't think you will find that among the remaining contestants.

Already have...thanks !

As I said earlier...love Fighting Gravity, Murray, Prince Poppycock (who is much more than a singer).

Agree 100% with your 3 choices. I also love Anna & Patryk despite the hatred flowing from the board towards them.

There are no singers outside of Prince P who should win this year. If any other singer wins, they should just rename this show American Idol Amateur Hour.

I agree with the statement that if other singer wins other then PP then it should be renamed amateur hour at AGT. I am rooting for fighting gravity though.. Just wondering do they film any of this at universal in orlando?

No one hates them here. People are just saying they're a)very young and b)no one will pay to see ballroom dancing on a Vegas stage. They're beyond talented they're just not suited to pull off a recurring Vegas show.

As far as mediocre singers go (which for the record I think Micheal Grimm is quite talented) the music world is full of them making millions every day. Heck, look as Ozzy, the man can't really sing, let alone remember the words to his own songs yet he's been filling stadiums for years. He has "it" and it doesn't matter how technically good you are if you don't have "it."

All that said, no I don't think a singer should win but I don't consider Prince Poppycock merely a singer, he's a showman as well.

No it is not filmed in Orlando it is in Las Vegas I think. I saw the ticker selling tickets for the show at one of the hotels. Can't remember which one though. Maybe MGM?

I don't hate Anna and Patryk. They're cute, but belong on Dancing with the Stars as a "halftime show" act on one of their results shows...NOT in Vegas.

 

[Lintasare]

I don't hate Anna and Patryk either. I do think they are very talented dancers for their age. But I can't see them headlining a show. I think DWTS would be a better venue for them with their Future Stars of Dance. I think they could win that in a heartbeat.

 

[polarbytes]

I do not like her either. I was also classically trained and I have the same opinions as you do.

It's for a show in Vegas.

It is not a show for Vegas!!! Vegas is one stop on a nationwide tour, one! Please get your facts right before bashing.

Actually, you are mistaken they get a headline show in Vegas. They do a tour as well but the winner gets a show in Vegas

That's not a guarantee! I'd like to see AGT try and tell a mob boss who to put in his casino.

Last I checked, Bianca Ryan and Kevin Skinner don't have their own shows.

 

[NAB]

They don't say the show will be on the strip in Vegas.....

We were there in the summer and Grandma Lee was somewhere, saw it advertised in a free magazine they had out. She was on last year.

The show may have a contract with one of the hotels.

If that's true tell me which hotel Kevin Skinner is headlining?

 

[happygirl]

If that's true tell me which hotel Kevin Skinner is headlining?

I think he was at Planet Hollywood for a while

 

[Jennasis]

If that's true tell me which hotel Kevin Skinner is headlining?

I said "MAY". How the heck do I know what their deals are?? Chill out.

He DID have a Vegas show at Planet Hollywood in 2009. He wasn't the only act though...he showed with other AGT performers. It was October through Dec of ;last year.

NO, you are mistaken. The winner is not guaranteed anything beyond headlining
the multi-city tour. That's it, period. If you read the AGT fine print that is all that is mentioned beyond the prize money. If you can provide me with proof that the winner will be headlining some show in Vegas I will gladly stand corrected.

I am chill. But you're saying something which isn't true and I'm asking you to show me where it is that he headlined. What's the problem?

Yes Kevin Skinner peformed in the AGT show/tour which happens every year for a brief period. That's not headlining "their own show." I'm talking about the real headlining deal that Terry Fator got for having actual talent.
