America Does Have Some Talent

Time for "America's Got Talent" again. I guess I'm hooked, because I do keep watching.
Watching the first of the final 20 perform, I had a couple of thoughts. We are now to the point where the majority of the acts really are talented. But, I have to say that there are a lot of people in the country who are more talented. I suppose they just didn't audition for the show.

I'm fairly happy with who was sent on after the last of the 40 performed, but I still think the 4-year-old shouldn't be going on. Can she carry a whole show? In Las Vegas? She's gotten some great exposure and I am sure she'll get all sorts of offers that will fit her talent better. Commercials, for example.

The judges said something similar about The Wright Kids. However, I thought they did well last night and they are growing on me. I still don't think kids and Las Vegas go well together, but they have a chance of being able to put on a whole show.

Being able to do a whole show is becoming more important to the judges now that we are seeing the best of the best. From last night, I'm hoping the ZOOperstars will not come back. I don't think Jessica Price or Daniel Jens are quite good enough to go on. I'd like to see Queen Emily, Paul Salos and Neal E. Boyd move on to the next round. The others I can see going either way.

Tonight we'll find out who goes on and who goes home from that group. We'll also be seeing the remaining half of the top 20. I don't know if there is anyone appearing tonight that I am really looking forward to seeing. I'll just have to wait and see.
