8/07 Show Discussion **SPOILERS** (AGT 2008)

What's with all the overdone boo-hoo-hooing? It's not even heartwarming anymore -- comical, maybe, but mostly annoying.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't give two hoots in hell for the back-story. I want the contestants to go on stage, perform, and walk off.

I'd also like to know what the judges are on

A 4-year-old whose only talent is being cute made it to the semis??

Yeah, the 4 year old was cute but I didn't agree with her being put thru! I was thrilled that Queen made it through tho!!

Yeah, I don't get how they reject some people on the grounds of "would you pay to watch this for 90 minutes?" Yet they let an admittedly adorable little girl through for knowing 2 songs. Ridonkulous. She may end up winning because voters can't be expected to have the same objectivity that the judges are SUPPOSED to have.

The 4 year old should not have made it through. This can't be good for her.

HurriKaty · 08-08-2008, 09:02 PM

I agree on all counts with the four year old. A four year old doing some really cute singing, cute, yes. But.. it's just not enough for an entire Vegas act. Plus, 4 year olds really aren't ready for things like this, and can't really be compared to people 10 times their age that have been doing this for a decade.

I was sorry that Xclusive didn't make it through. Now THAT's my idea of a different and unique talent. I'd sure as heck watch HIM for 90 minutes and pay for it!

Jexter · 08-11-2008, 03:17 AM

The wildcard will be very difficult. I love them all. I think I'm partial to the guy who lost his vocal chords though. I'd pay to see him.

I hope the girl who got hurt is o.k.

There's not much difference between this and The Gong Show. Except The Gong Show is honest. And it doesn't drag out.

The show this season, so far, is lousy!
