Any AGT fans out there?

Anyone watch the first auditions last night? What did you think? I absolutely LOVED the opening dog act, I agree with whichever judge it was that said it was the best animal act they've ever had. There were a number of really good acts, and this is only the beginning!

But I do wish they could do something to fix the acoustics. At least I think that is the problem, I know my hearing is really bad, so that may be part of it. But often the audience noise drowns out the act. And last night, the music completely drowned out a young man singing. From the reaction of the judges, he must have been really good, but I couldn't distinguish his voice from the accompanying music.

And how about the magician!! I thought he was incredible. I agree about the dog act. They should be declared winners right now. I think I understood them to say that the dogs were all rescues. I didn't like the young boy singing. Lots of screaming and vocal gymnastics!

No not really - I think in the past it was a 50/50 crap shoot but with all the environmental changes like El Nino occuring more frequently prediction is harder. Farmers have always used the simple techniques such as how thick the fuzz is on a catapillar in the fall - if it is thick this should indicate a cold winter. The pattern we have been having the last 5 years here in southern Ontario is very moderate with a warmer fall usually a green Christmas then by january it just switches to cold and snowy - cooler and longer springs.

CCC123 I saw the Ceasarstone "Blizzard" installed in a showroom, and it looked really good. I was surprised how much I liked it, because I didn't really like it in the little sample square. Sometimes those little squares don't show the color to its best advantage. I thought it looked pretty darn white, if I recall. We've chosen Ceasarstone "Rosemary" after much deliberation, and I cannot wait to have it installed. Sort of a greyish color with a hint of green. Very light on the speckles--we didn't want too much color variation in the pattern, and this color has less "movement" than many of the others.

I watched a few episodes online and they're running it on PBS now. There's some amusing spots and I like the premise. I really *want* to like it but can't get into it. Some of the accents are too heavy and hard to understand which makes it difficult to follow too. Either it's going to take a while to get used to it or I don't know if I can get into it. Maybe I just need to sit and watch it from the beginning to get used to the cast and watch it grow a bit. There's a lot of the britcoms I really enjoy but can't really get into this one yet.

Glad to see others find him enjoyable cawaps, it’s amazing how nimble he is and how quick his turnaround, especially considering he’s doing everything by himself. Maddie, the GOP dropout is a hoot. Annie, wicked s right! dlm, he’s kept me sane too, along with Colbert and others. Lake, I need to try Trae Crowder. Something to look forward to. My3dogs, yes, I like that one too!

I didn't know it was back on but when I checked my recordings this morning, I see that it was recorded. I'll be anxious to watch the dog act. I always enjoy the trained animal acts especially.

The magician was good. His act was very similar to an act on BGT from a few years ago.

I tired of the show. I hate the dog acts. Really HATE the dog acts. And all the dance groups. Every season there is a ventriloquist who they say is the "best we've ever seen!". There's the one 10 year old who sings better than any other ten year old. There's the person who is homeless. There's the person who fought a deadly disease and is living their dream. There's always that person who has the sob story. I used to watch it but stopped a long time ago.

whistle....I agree with YOU!

I think the magician was just a set up tho....why not? The little boy he adopted was precious, I enjoyed his story.

The dog act was very CLEVER! Unique and original!

The little boy singing....needs a voice coach. There are so many already in the past that were so much better. Remember Celine, her sister Dion? Whoah!

The aerialist....he was A M A Z IN G ! Soooooooooooooooo good!

I'm glad Sofia is back as a judge too. Did you see her trying to crack a walnut with her butt?! ha ha My kind'a gurl! Give it a try and get a laugh....

I liked the magician. The dog act was good but I hate all the backstories. This is a talent show and that should be the only criteria.
