AMERICA's GOT TALENT 7

(1/12) > >>

apskip:
This year's edition of AGT will premiere May 14 on Mondays & Tuesdays 8pm EDT with new judge Howard Stern! Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne are returning as judge and Nick Cannon is returning as emcee. After the preliminary rounds across America, show live performances will be from Newark NJ's New Jersey Performing Arts Center, a very lovely and modern site.

The Australian version just premiered tonight.. there were great acts... but I don't know if people interested enough in shows overseas US?  :duno:

Zouly,

I don't know either, but I have watched every AGT episode for the prior 6 seasons. I think it is a bit of a circus in preliminary rounds, but once the judges (and probably producers) make the cut to about 24 acts, then the really good performances start to emerge.

From a strategic perspective, each act has to withhold enough new material to make it through at least one preliminary round, maybe one round and maybe not in the "cut" round, and then about 4 more rounds. That's a lot of new material to keep it interesting for the judges and audience. This is a major reason why singers have won 5 out of 6 AGTs.

I wish singers would only be on the show if they wouldn't do well on other singing shows. Such as last year's winner. He wouldn't win AI.

Coolio,

You are absolutely right, but you may not appreciate the reason. American Idol's age limit is 15 to28 years old. In 2011 Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. was 36.
