AGT Finals, tonight!
Comments (44)I read about the 'domestic violence' this morning, and was pretty upset and very disappointed in him. It may have been one of those incidents where the media blows it all out of proportion, at least I hope that's what it is. His wife didn't press any charges, so that's a good sign, I think. About 'backstories', some background info is nice to know, and should be included, I think. But I wish they wouldn't blow it all out of proportion like they do. A few seasons of AGT ago, there was a young female singer who was from a town within 20 miles of where I grew up. Naturally, I started out with high hopes for her. But every appearance, they made such a big issue of how poor she was, could only get 'menial' type jobs, such as waiting tables, had been raised by foster parents, hadn't seen any of her family in years, etc. It got to be pretty sickening to listen to. So I looked her up on the AGT website, and the facts were presented quite differently. Yes, she waited tables, in a very classy high-end restaurant. She hadn't seen her family, by her own choice, she hadn't been 'abandoned' by them as had been implied, she owned her own home, drove a very nice car, etc. Seems like it would have put her in a much better light if they had just presented the facts and not turned it into some kind of sob story. Basic backstory facts are fine, good to know. But don't turn it all into sob stories and dwell on them on and on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Rusty...See MoreAGT: The Champions tonight. . .
Comments (8)Jackie has really 'grown up' since she was first on AGT, she was such a cute little girl. And she's beautiful now! Unlike many child entertainers, she just keeps getting better, IMHO, anyway. As for Sal, I didn't think his performance last night was his best, by any means, but I really do like him. He has a wonderful voice, he's good looking, (okay, so I'm a sucker for blue eyes) and has a very likeable stage presence. What's not to like? Although I guess his music genre probably appeals more to us "old folks", than the younger generations. I grew up with his kind of music. Rusty...See MoreAGT starts tonight! ! !
Comments (13)Oh, wow. The good acts tonight were all really good! Thankfully, there was only one bad one (Monkey) - that we saw. Having said that, I will add that I do not like the "danger" acts like the crossbow guy. I don't consider what he did to be a talent. Yes, it takes guts and nerves of steel - or maybe just a devil-may-care attitude about life - but it's not a talent. I thought the very first act, Greg Morton, would be a bomb, but that guy was spot on. Eric Chien, the magician, was awesome! Fifteen-year-old Sophie Pecora was charming, and brave. Personally, I hope she doesn't always sing songs she has written, though, but I'm guessing she will, since she has posted a lot videos of her songs on You Tube. Patrizio Ratto, the pianist from Italy, was a surprise. You could tell how bored Simon was before Patrizio even started playing Für Elise, but then... wow! The dance troupe from Mumbai, V Unbeatable, brought me to tears. Jackie Fabulous was a hoot! Soooo much better than the trailer trash comedienne last season. Gingzilla, the 7-foot Ginger-zilla, was fabulous!! I wonder if that's his real hair - it's gorgeous, and he's a cutie, too. And his voice! As I said, above, I can do without acts like The Human Fuse. Last, but certainly not least, was Kody Lee. Again, tears. He was awesome. I mean, to be blind and autistic, and sing like he did is one thing, but to play the piano so well, too! Wow. Looking forward to next week!!...See MoreAnyone watch the first . . . . .
Comments (6)I had to look away during the guy from Spain's act, I just can not watch that kind of thing! I was surprised they put him through, but maybe there are people out there who like that stuff. I thought the young couple (from Peru, I think? Called themselves BAD Salsa) were amazing, also the 2 young law enforcement men from Chicago. Not the kind of music I usually like, but they are very good. Sometimes I wonder why they even bother to show some of the acts they X, but I guess it does give us, the audience, an idea of what all kinds of things show up. I can't even imagine how some of the acts can think they are good enough to get on the show, or how they think they should even be on a stage. The pigs were a surprise, I had no idea they could be trained like that. Rusty...See More- 4 years ago
