America's Got Talent!
And how! Tonight was the premiere of AGT, where we are hoping to find another talented act like last years winner, Terry Fator – who just signed a $100 Million deal in Vegas for his own show – yowza! That makes him the most successful Reality TV contestant in oh, I dunno, EVER!
There were the usual hits and misses, the bombs and blowouts, the fab and horrific as we sat through several cities and a whole bunch of auditions in complete, and montage form. Some made us weep with laughter, some with disbelief and one, one with absolute astonishment. Here’s my standout acts of the night!
She made my sister cry with her cuteness, and for that – and the fact she was absolutely adorable and I think even thawed out Piers cold dead ruthless heart – and she’s has worked for THREE WHOLE YEARS to get her chance… Here’s four year old Kaitlyn:
I am a SUCKER for Violin music – and give it a hiphop edge played by sexy boys? Dude. I’m THERE. Nuttin’ but Strings rocked the house:
I love me some cloggers – and this group – Extreme Dance FX – did NOT disappoint!
And last, but definitely not least, was the final performance of the night. He brings to mind the winner of last years UK version in that he’s a surprise insurance selling underdog turned front runner the minute he opened his mouth to sings opera. Chills, baby. And he was SO emotional and I admit, even my cold wicked heart (stop laughing, mom) was totally melted and sold and if he doesn’t go far I’m gonna beat up someone. Seriously. Check out Neal E. Boyd – and I dare you to disagree!
AGT returns next week with more auditions as we work our way across the country until Vegas Week!
