Anyone watch AGT last night?
Comments (22)I had to go to the AGT website to read Grace's 'story', as I didn't remember hearing or seeing it at all. Apparently she's quite the musical prodigy. But perhaps she would come across a little better when she gets a little older and her voice has a chance to develop more. I always try to imagine myself in one of the judges' seats (yes, pompous, I know), and 'judge' by the quality of the performance, not by my personal likes or dislikes. That's harder to do then one would think! My personal tastes always win out! And that's why I wasn't bothered in the least by the 'glitzy suit' performer being sent home. The background stories are influential, too, Although sometimes I think they dramatize and overplay the sob stories more than they should. But you can't help but admire someone who's pulled themselves up by their boot straps, and is doing their best to have a positive influence on life. They deserve the chance. The talent on this show seems to get better every year! I'd be willing to bet a dollar to a hole in a donut that a number of the contestants will be discovered and move on to bigger and better things, regardless of how they finish up here.

Comments (5)Thank you for your kind comments! She is a sweetheart. She's lived in Paris her whole life but because my brother is American, she is completely and seamlessly bilingual. She has been studying acting for a while, but this is her big break. I've got my fingers crossed for her!...See MoreAGT finals last night
Comments (19)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...See MoreDid anyone watch The Gilded Age last night on HBO?
Comments (7)Schoolhouse - I'll watch it all and hope that as the season develops it improves. Perhaps we're getting a condensed version since this season is only 10 episodes. The producers are hoping the ratings will be high enough to warrant a renewal. It wasn't bad and perhaps I should have added that I've read Edith Wharton and Henry James many times over the years and I may have been expecting the finesse and subtlety that are evident in their works. To be honest that isn't a fair comparison. I've always been fascinated by 'Novels of Manners' - The Age of Innocence, the Forsyth Saga, Jane Austen's works etc and really enjoyed shows like Downton Abbey, Upstairs, Downstairs. The premise holds true - The Gilded Age , especially in the Northeast, was a time of rigid social constraints where one's wealth and social standing determined your future. Gizmo - A few years ago I had the opportunity to spend a wonderful afternoon in the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. I knew about the infamous art thefts but I wasn't aware of her personal history. Thanks for the background. Maire...See More
