America's Got Talent, 09142010

Another talent show bites the dust!!! The finale of America's Got Talent was heavy with well known celebrities including Usher and David Copperfield! When David Copperfield appeared on stage, I was trying to compare him to Michael Grasso and I can truly say that for me, Michael Grasso is in the league of David Copperfield!!!

What is wrong with Piers Morgan??? This is already the final 4, he buzzed Prince Poppycock!!! He is the cultural ignoramus, not Howie Mandell!!! He should get a nickname of Piers Morgan, aka Trigger Happy X!!!! He said that his performance was too serious!!!Last night, he admitted though that he made a mistake of buzzing Prince Poppycock!! Too late, Piers, the damage was done already which landed Poppycock the 4th place!!! When I heard Trigger Happy X buzzed PP, I was disgusted that if I was in the audience, I would have given him a piece of my mind!!!!

Michael Grimm, the 3 judges gave him a standing ovation!! Everytime he sings, he reminds me of Michael Bolton!!!! I guess he has a unique voice that is taking him to success!!!! Happy Trigger X told him that he could win the coveted million dollar prize and the headliner in Cesar's Las Vegas!!!

Jackie Evancho. What can I say??? She has a very unique voice!!! It is a real gift from up there!!! Before the announcement of the grand prize winner, I wondered though how she will be able to cope with Las Vegas at a tender age of 10??? True, she is gifted and talented, but her childhood years will be gone!!! Will she be like Michael Jackson that in later life begun to act like a child, since he did not get a normal childhood??? Wooo!!! Hold on!!! Maybe Jackie will be different!!! I hope so!!!

Fighting Gravity. They have a very unique and fresh act! I wonder who is the brains in their acts??? One of them??? Or all of them??? They surely deserve to be a headliner in Las Vegas!!!! They do not need to go back to school if they will earn millions!!! After all, with the sad economy, even college graduates are unemployed. Is that what we go to college for??? To earn top notch dollars which today is a thing of the past!!!! Yikes!!! What are you talking about??? Well, I just read that there is indeed a very high unemployment rate and it is not stopping!!! Las Vegas unemployment rate is now 25 %!!! I was sooo shocked to hear that!!! And there is this insurance agent that talks to a lot of people, everytime he talks to someone, when it comes to the question, " what is your job?", the answer is mostly unemployed!!!! This is a harsh and grim reality thet is plaguing America!!!! No wonder there is still many foreclosures, and people are not buying anything!!!! Oh, well, enough.... let us go back to AGT.....

I was soooo surprised that Jackie Evancho lost to Michael Grimm!!! I guess everyone is thinking what I was thinking that she is too young to be a headliner in the sin city!!! Michael Grimm was so shocked when Nick Cannon announced his name!!!

Speaking of Nick Cannon, he was soooo melodramatic and full of suspense!!! I guess that is Nick for you!!!

Congratulations to all 4 finalists, and good luck to all!!!! I was surprised at the outcome, but I am sure that Michael Grimm's grandparents are very happy!!!

Congratulations, Michael Grimm and good luck in Vegas!!!!!

America's Got Talent, 09012010

Finally, the remaining 5 semi- finalists of America's Got Talent have been unleashed!!! They are the creme of the crop, and the talents ranged from singing to dangerous acts to a 10 year old diva.

Let us start with Nick Cannon, the emcee. Wow, when I saw him on the stage, I was wondering what was he wearing!!! Why??? I thought his outfit was a lounging robe!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! It is probably a very expensive outfit, but to me it reminded me of a lounging robe!!! Has anybody seen it??? Any comments anyone??? Am I an outfit ignoramus???? Ha! Ha! Ha! Thanks, Piers, now I have a new word!!!!

Who were the 12 acts? They are the following: Michael Grasso - magician; Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon - acrobats/ circus; Master Alexander Bui - pianist; Jackie Evancho - 10 year old operatic singer; Murray - magician; Fighting Gravity - fraternity students where the act is done in pitch black; Nathaniel Kenyon - singer; Alice Tan Ridley - singer performing in subways; Studio One Young Beast Society - hip hop dancers; Haspop - dance with a very flexible body; Debra Romer - singer; Jeremy VanSchoonhoven - daredevil bike!

There were 2 magicians: Michael Grasso and Murray. Murray made a large train disappear from the stage, and Michael Grasso, making the lady from the cage disappear, and Michael Grasso disappearing from the stage to appear behind the judges, giving Sharon Osbourne a red rose! Both are good acts, but Michael Grasso's execution was better than Murray.

Maestro Alexander Bui, a young pianist who was superb! Howie Mandell did not get it and gave Bui an X. That is when Piers Morgan called Howie Mandell a " cultural ignoramus." Ha! Ha! Ha! Good for you, Piers, for standing up to a real talent, which the likes of Howie does not understand!!! Now, Howie has a nameplate with cultural ignoramus on it!!!! I think he made the sign just so he can hide his embarrassment!!!! Right??? I just love the show because of the 2 men always on each others throats!!!! Is this real or just a show to make America's Got Talent juicy and entertaining???? What do you guys think??? Poor Sharon, she has to learn to duck in case there ever is a pie throwing or a fist fight!!! Do not pity Sharon, these judges make big, big bucks that you and i will probably never see in our lifetime!!!! You are soooo right!!!! Back to AGT......

Fighting Gravity. How about it??? They are the best new, original act that has graced this planet since the Blue Men!!!! They deserve to already have a show in Las Vegas!!!! I can't just imagine how these college guys came with this idea!!! They are brilliant!!!! Their greatest competitor is Jackie Evancho whose voice is really mind boggling!!! To sing like that at a tender age??? My! my! my! Her parents are soooo lucky.... they have a rare gem in their hands. Hopefully, they will not be as manipulative like the other parents of celebrities and that they will continue to live in peace and harmony!!!!

Debra Romer, the singer, is starting to come out of her coccoon. She is not as timid as before. Although she is not a semi-finalist, I think she will go a long way with her voice and looks!!! In fact, she announced that there are some people that are wanting to pay and sign her up!!! Good for her!!!!

How about Jeremy VanSchoonhoven, the bike daredevil?? Like Sharon says, he is like Evil Knevil. It seems Jeremy is not afraid to try out anything to further himself!! He sure is very brave with all the stunts he has been doing!!!!!

Well, the 5 semi- finalists that will compete with the other five are: Studio One Young Beast Society, Jeremy VanSchoonhoven, Michael Grasso, Jackie Evancho and Fighting Gravity!

We are going to be treated to a good show next week. After all, the best 10 acts will be performing!!! Care to bet who will end up as the winner of the million dollar gig in Las Vegas??? To me, it seems that it will be a toss up between Fighting Gravity and Jackie Evancho!!! How about you, what do you think????

America's Got Talent Wild Card, 08172010

There were 4 wild cards that were picked on last night's episode of America's Got Talent. These 4 acts were really lucky that they were given another chance!!! Did I sense an ulterior motive with the producers for this episode?? Like what??? Prolonging the AGT's program!! More program, more advertisements!!! More advertisements, more money!!!

When the wild card episode started, I thought it was a waste of my time watching it because the performances did not have the wow factor that the judges were looking for. But as the show progressed, I saw some worthy acts that can be in the semi - finals. So, you changed your mind?? Right!!!!

What were the 12 acts??? They were the following: Kruti Dance Academy - Bollywood dance group, Rudy Macaggi - dangerous stunt, CJ Dippa - young rapper, RNG - young hip hop dancers, Harmonica Pierre - harmonica player, Michael Grasso - magic, Hot Shot Tap Dancers -3 brothers and sister tap dancers, Doogie Horner - comedian, Connor Doran - kite flying, Anna and Patryk - young ballroom dancers, Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon - acrobatics, and Swing Shift Sideshow - creepy dangerous act.

What can I say about the acts that performed??? Michael Grasso, the magician was really good!!!! I thought he was good the first time I saw him and I do not know why he did not make it the first time around!!! I thought CJ Dippa, the rapper need more practice if he wants to be the next Eminem!!! I also think he should lose some of his attitude!!! He seems like a little punk to me!!! Harmonica Pierre was good, but I thought he was too ambitious to do a Lady Gaga song, harmonica style!!!! Hot Shot Tap Dancers was boring!!! They need something in their act, and I do not think they can win the million dollar prize!! How about Doogie Horner, the comedian?? Although his material was better and funny, I do not think he can win!!! The kite flying by Connor Doran was really good!!! How can he fly a kite indoor without any wind??? That is the beauty of his act!!! I think though that his act belongs to inventions!!! He should make a ton of money manufacturing and selling it!!! Although Anna and Patryk executed their ballroom dancing to perfection, I do not think that their act is worthy to win!!! How about Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon??? They sure know how to make everybody scared and on edge!!! When Ashleigh went down with a scream, the judges thought there was a disaster!!! Good grief!!! They sure is one act that was edgy and sexy!!! Can they win??? I do not know since there are sooo many acts that are excellent and different!!!

The 4 acts though to go to the next round are Michael Grasso, Anna and Patryk, Connor Doran, and Michael Lipari and Ashleigh Dejon!!! These acts will have to raise their acts to another level to get a shot at the million dollar prize!!!

By the way, what is it with Howie Mandell and Piers Morgan??? Don't they like each other?? Or is this part of the show to make it more interesting??? How about Sharon Osbourne?? As usual, she is the referee!! What do you think guys??? I think this so - called " feuding" by Howie and Piers mahke the show really interesting!!! As they say, there is no dull moment in the show between the 2 silly goose acting like children!!! I think " Mommy" Sharon should put the whining child in a corner and put a hat on him!!! Won't that be a riot??? Which corner of the theater??? That is for Sharon to decide!!! Comments, anyone????
