I wonder what happened to Nick? Anyone know? He did such a good job on that show, so talented, and I loved the way he would get on the stage and 'rescue' a contestant when things got too awkward. Wonder if Tyra will be able to do that. I'd never even heard of Tyra Banks before, don't think I was missing much. To me it seemed like she was trying to imitate Nick's expressions, reactions, etc., but it didn't come across as very natural. I missed his antics a lot. But I love the show more than I disliked Tyra, so I will get used to her. I hope. The chicken surprised me, I thought it was a definite buzzer act, but it was pretty good once it decided to do its thing. It will be interesting to see how they upgrade that act for the next level. Just how entertaining and talented can a chicken be? ? ? I'm with Simon on the clowns, I most definitely do NOT like them! And I thought Puddles deserved the buzzers he got! But that voice was a big surprise! And the brother-sister dance team! Wow! How in the world can anyone spin that much that fast and not be falling down dizzy? Rusty

Nicole? ? ? Why or who are you asking? While I admired her ("Nightbirde's") attitude and courage, I wasn't all that impressed with her performance. But that's just my personal taste in music. A few years ago the million dollar winner was a little girl that plunked on an ukulele and sang her own original songs in a weak, scrawny voice. I thought she was terrible, but apparently the general population watching AGT thought she was sensational. So obviously my opinion of vocalists doesn't mean anything. I really prefer to see other types of acts, there are other shows for vocalists. I like to think that even though I may not like a particular song or artist, I can recognize when they have talent. I do think Nightbirde has talent, but I sure didn't think the kid with the uke did. I'm sure that many of the really good acts get picked up, so the speak, and offered gigs that help them forge a career in show business. A lot of them deserve it. But NOT that middle aged 'boy band'! :^) Rusty

I must have fallen asleep. I spent the day shopping for & planting 14 one gallon containers of perennials. I had to go play the 9 year old opera singer. She is GOOD! BLEW ME AWAY! And adorable! I'm looking forward to Simon wearing a rainbow glitter T-shirt! ♥ The father who lost his wife, made me tear up...but don't think he'll go very far. The red and black clad dancers were a Vegas Show...I'd pay to see that again....and again..... I liked the comedian.....8 years of performing was good prep for AGT, THIS will get him noticed, hopefully a bigger paycheck when he does BIGGER shows.

Joann_fl, I have wondered the same thing. Seems like it almost has to be she is wearing everything in layers, It would have to be very thin light weight material that is strategically folded. Her constant movement and watching for the next 'outfit' would detract from noticing that she gets thinner as the act continues. She is the best quick change artist I've ever seen (not that I've seen very many), and I was fascinated the first time I saw her. But I doubt I'd be interested in watching her for more than a few minutes. And if my 'theory' is anywhere close to correct, her acts would be pretty limited as to length of time. I also thought she lacked personality. Rusty
