America's Got Talent Finale

Cheers and congratulations to him!! (Wanted him to win more than Barbara Padilla) Wishing all the best to this 'ex-chicken catcher.' Now he's gonna be famous...

America's Got Talent Semi-Finals

Finally, the top 20 acts for the semifinals have been chosen. They are:

Acrodunk, Kevin Skinner, Grandma Lee, Drew Thomas Magic, Arcadian Broad, Tony and Rory, Paradizo Dance, Texas Tenors, Voices of Glory, Fab Five, Lawrence Beamen, Hairo Torres, Jeffrey Ou, Mario and Jenny, Footworkingz, Recycled Percussions, Eriam Sisters, Drew Stevyns, Barbara Padilla, and Erik and Rickie.

Personally, I think the selection is not too bad except there are too many singers. As usual, singing acts are a favorite among many people. Here, I would like to give my opinion on the judges reaction on Jeffrey Ou's qualification. What is with the exaggerated and shocked expression when he was selected, especially Sharon? Against Bri, I think he got a pretty good chance of winning. Besides, it's not his fault that one of the dancers accidentally kicked the audio cable out, making the last half of the performance inaudible. I am really happy that America voted him back. I personally think he has talent.

Anyway, kinda looking forward to next week's semifinals. It's gonna be an intense one. Will update when the finalists are chosen two weeks from now.

Why I love America's Got Talent

America's Got Talent has always been one of my favorite TV variety shows. Entering it's fourth season, it is still as exciting as ever. Never fails to make me laugh, make me (nearly) cry, get me motivated, and learn new things from the show.

For those of you who don't know, America's Got Talent is a talent show with no age limit and you can perform anything you want on the stage. Created by Simon Cowell, this show is very interesting to watch. There's a new host, Nick Cannon, however whom I think is not that good compared to the previous hosts. The judges, Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and David Hasselhoff, are pretty good and funny at judging the contestants. My favorite judge is Piers Morgan, because he's a really straight-to-the-point guy with witty comments and harsh words.

This show has produced a lot of celebrities. Winners from the past three seasons, Bianca Ryan (Season 1), Terry Fator (Season 2), and Neil E. Boyd (Season 3) has all became celebrities, especially Terry Fator, the ventriloquist who is very popular in Las Vegas now.

Some of the acts are common, such as dancing and singing. But sometimes, we can see many hilarious and out-of-this-world acts. Of course, there are acts which is plain stupid, but still fun to watch. Season 4 is currently in it's sixth episode. It is still the qualifying rounds to Las Vegas now, and things are gonna heat up during the Las Vegas auditions. I wonder who will be the winner for this season. Can't wait! Keep up the good work NBC!
