This show lost any and all credibility when the JabbaWockeeZ won America's Best Dance Crew. Here was a group that auditioned for America's Got Talent twice, failed to win and after winning America's Best Dance Crew, they've maintained a visibility that Bianca Ryan and Terry Fator (despite his success that America's Got Talent wants to brag about all too eagerly) can only envy.

And I feel like I'm the only person who realizes that America's Got Talent came before all the other Got Talent shows. This show isn't the American copy of Pop Idol, people!

The blacks in the audience screaming and doing the "move along" hand-shuffle thing as if its Showtime at the Apollo, or whatever the hell that show is. I'll pass.

Here's my two cents about yesterday's show. There were a lot of good acts and it showed that many the contestants really worked hard. Jerry was his usual annoying self and the audience also seemed to be really into it. The acts I would like to see gone are the singing, freeloading twin sisters from Romania. They were horribly off-key and the fact that Sharon was lax on her buzzer didn't help much. My biggest pet peeve are those who redefine the word "classy" and those young mothers and their exotic dancing is no exception. The one I really couldn't stand was the cross-dressing Britney Spears impersonator. As much as I hate the former pop princess, watching him made me feel sick. Hopefully, he won't get too far. Other than that, I think we may have some stiff competition for this show in the future. My favorite acts so far Nuttin' But Strings, the trombone-playing dancer, and the opera singer. Can't wait until next week's show; this show has a lot going so far!

RECIPE FOR AMERICA'S GOT TALENT (AFTER
PASSING ROMANIAN TWINS THROUGH)

Take a steaming pile of horse s***.

Baste with the tears of overly
emotional contestants.

Smother it with rancid treacle.

Add a side order of flies.

Hold your nose and shovel it down your gullet.

*Barf bag optional.

You know, I didnt think this show could get much worse after last season...........I was wrong. Now, I expected the fake/forced reactions from Jerry Springer and the obviously forced reactions from the audience, but the thing that pushed it over the top for me was the fact that the head honchos (one being Simon Cowell) are basically giving us Britains Got Talent, but with American "flair". If I wanted to see Piers judging someone singing Nessun Dorma (opera) I would Youtube Paul Potts. If I wanted to see a little girl sing on stage, I would Youtube Connie Talbot. And guess what? Nearly identical singers (though neither were as good as their British counterparts) were on tonights premiere. Its one thing to take a show into the US from the UK and reformat it. Its complete crap to show nearly IDENTICAL acts.

(And no, before yells to me about being from the UK, I am a US citizen. I just think they could have tried a little harder to not copy)

I don't think it ever jumped the shark, how can you say that? Just watch the preview for season 3 at:

Tell me that does not look amazing!

i think they tell about the contestant's stories because it is always nice to show some compassion. some of them really had intense backgrounds and stories to tell, and it just makes the audience feel more emotionally involved. thats why i like this show and i definetly cant wait for the premiere tomorrow at 9!

i just loved watching season two of America's Got Talent and i'm definetly tuning in to watch the season 3 premiere next tuesday. i am really excited!

Holy crap. Last year, this show jumped the shark, over the mountains and through the woods. It became a bigger joke than the year before it, a true low point to reality TV, next to the Real Gilligan's Island and that FOX show where that girl had to choose who was her real father.

Anyone on this show that had ANY talent was rejected or voted off and WAS DEFINITELY NOT judging it, that's for sure.

I'm not watching it this year.

Could the Hoff possibly show any more chest? must be inspired by Simon

btw, simon cowell produced this...surprised?

All this show proved is that America's Got "No Taste". I guess they'll just put anything on TV these days. :P

Ok, I stopped watching this show right after they voted Boy Shakira into the next round. Agree with David Hasselhoff, and I can't believe he stayed on the show when they put him/her/whatever through. I would have left. But this show definatly jumped the shark when the first singer was voted through by the judges. If I was a producer of this show, or a judge, singers would not be allowed to audition. I would tell the singers "It's called American Idol. Ever heard of it? Go audition for that piece of garbage show!"

I agree with American Lady...Terry Fator, the ventriloquist, is indeed talented and deserved to win. I'm glad he won the $1,000,000.00 on America's Got Talent. I was also pulling for Cas Haley and Butterscotch to win and not Julienne Irwin, the wonderkid. Let's see what the show will have for us next season.

I have 2 words: Boy Shakira. What a disgusting joke!
