American Talent

The Olympics are over and "America's Got Talent" is back. Of course, it's got to make room for the Democratic convention. I liked Hillary's speech last night. She's an American with talents and I hope she has opportunities to continue to use them.

But, let me get to the show. First, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of dancing. In older movie musicals there were always extended dance sequences and I always hated them. So, several of last night's performances were yawners to me because they were dancing. The girl who did stunts was cute, but it just doesn't seem like something to be performed on a stage. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to learn any of the names of the contestants. I think the guy who sang and danced should be the first one to be eliminated. I guess I'll find out tonight who will be leaving the competition.

I liked the two singers from the second hour. I hope they continue. Since I've never watched the show before, I'm not sure how many will be eliminated tonight. If they have 40 acts to pare down, I'm assuming it will be a matter of only a few being sent through from each night in this first round. I've got to start learning names!
