America's Got Talent

Young Grace VanderWaal impressed the 'America's Got Talent' judges so much, one of them even pushed the mythic golden button for her.

As you may know by now, I've all but boycotted any other "talent" show on TV, save 'America's Got Talent', frankly because I'm sick of singing competitions.  AGT actually showcases OTHER talents people have. Singers, if you're trying to get a gig, hit American Idol (well, scratch that one), The Voice, The Sing Off, Nashville Star, ABC's Rising Star, or your local karaoke bar. ... Read Mo

If you've been following the show this season -- America's Got Talent's 10th -- you know competition has been fierce, particularly in the arenas of comedy and magic. Thirty-two-year-old Gary Vider is a 2006 UB grad, and he's soared past the comics to become one of the finalists on tonight's show...

There aren't many talent shows out there that I'm watching anymore...mainly because they're almost all 'American Idol' ripoffs, and frankly, I'm sick of singing competitions.

I can't say I pigeon-hole myself into any one genre of music, but as a rule, country just isn't my preference. I don't dislike all of it, and I respect all musicality of artists.

I'm not a huge fan of "competition" shows, but I am eager for 'America's Got Talent' to debut. I enjoy that one because it's not just a smattering of bad singers...it's ALL talent.  And this is one I did NOT see coming.

Howard Stern brought some new viewers when he joined America's Got Talent for its run earlier this year. Producers want him to be happy. So they may be taking his recommendation to replace exiting judge Sharon Osbourne seriously.Truthfully, it looks like a good one, if a bit unexpected.

I admit I love to watch truly talented magicians or stunt performers on YouTube. You can stop the video, rewind or enlarge it, slow it down and try to see how the trick or stunt is done.

We’re on the last leg of the quarterfinals in this week’s ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Who will stay and who will go? We have no idea but we’re anxious to find out.

Last night we witnessed not only a couple of contestants immediately being thrown out of the competition but seeing some others blowing their big chance to make it big. Yes, we’re in the midst of “Vegas Week” here in ‘America’s Got Talent‘ and the intensity, for some, is just too much to bear.

After weeks of auditions, we’re finally with the judges in Las Vegas for the next round of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ We’ve seen the worst and now have the supposed best on stage. But will those chosen to move forward be able to deliver their superb talent to the judges a second time? We’ll just have to watch and see.

We’re at the last leg of the audition tour, and boy has it been a ride so far. We’ve seen some amazing acts and, well, others we wish we could just forget. But we’re watching ‘America’s Got Talent,’ so we’re pretty much prepared to see anything happen on that stage.
