Who out of the 14 has talent
Tonight on America’s Got Talent, only 10 of the 14 acts in the audience would make it on stage. We got to see Taylor Ware (yodeler), All That (cloggers), Kevin Johnson (ventriloquist), Alexis Jordan (singer), Vladik (juggler), Shawn Ryan (cabaret singer), JR Johns (dog act), Hoopalicious (dancer), Corina Brouder (harpist/singer), and The Millers (harmonica/singer).
Frankly, I wasn’t that impressed with anyone. My biggest disappointment was with JR Johns and the dogs. He was so amazing last time and as Piers said, this time it was almost uncomfortable to watch. Taylor was good, the cloggers get on my nerves, Kevin continued to amaze, Alexis oversang, Vladik was blamed for dropping balls when he didn’t (Hello judges? Can you pay better attention?), Shawn Ryan would be better suited on the Jerry Lewis Telethon, Hoopalicious reminded me of a hippie drug addict who should be performing on Venice Beach, Corina almost put me to sleep (again), and that little Miller kid gets on my nerves. Yes, he is a great harmonica player but enough with the moves. At one point, my husband turned to me and asked if the kid yelled “Soul Patrol!”
After I got up off the floor, I watched as the judges choose their pick to move on to the $1 million dollar final in August. They picked Soul Patrol, uh, The Millers. Good thing because when Piers said the kid should lose his big brother he made him cry. One thing that remains a constant this week was the annoying Big Doofus, David Hasselhoff. Seriously, I never realized what a complete idiot he is. After his spiel about Vladik dropping the ball, he accidentally press a check mark instead of an X.
Maybe it is just me, but I don’t see this show having near the impact or effect that American Idol did. Good idea, but poorly executed. Keep Regis and Piers, dump Brandy and the Big Doofus, ban singers and dancers (they have their own shows) and just cut the stupid acts (can anyone say Bernie the Stripper?) before they even make it on television. Truly unusual talent like Kevin Johnson, Taylor Ware, and Vladik will never have a chance against singers and dancers.
Tomorrow night, we get to see who America voted into the finals.

Well, the harp music moved you if you wanted to fall asleep.
That’s a positive side effect of the mellow sounds of the harp.
