Okay, Maybe America Has Some Talent

I had decided to never watch "America's Got Talent" because the commercials made it seem too much like the "Gong Show". However, learning that MySpace auditioners would be featured last night made me give it a try. To be honest, it was pretty much as I expected. I've never understood people being willing to humiliate themselves. The poor ladies who whistled just made me feel sad.

However, the woman who found the daughter she gave up via MySpace had not only a touching story, but a great voice. Just hearing her made the show worthwhile. There were some other acts that were both good, but fun. The Ozzy Osbourne impersonator, for example. Then there was the group that played drums. Only they weren't real drums, but the sound was great and the precision of their performance left me in awe.

Okay, so, now I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to next week when they start going through the finalists and picking the better of the good. I'll feel much more comfortable and entertained when people aren't being booed off the stage.
