America's Got Talent Review: Good Riddance, Piers!
by Radio Blah Blah at .America's Got Talent visited Houston and Minneapolis last night, resulting in some of the oddest auditions we've witnessed yet.
Did anyone else find the beginning of the Minneapolis auditions more interesting without Piers around? He just acts like a little bitch, getting up and storming off. I found that really unprofessional.
So, who stood out and who deserved to be sent home? If I can get all those Lady GaGa songs the show played out of my head, I can offer my thoughts on the episode below...
Houston
STANDOUTS: The Rhinestone Ropers delivered the best danger factor in a very long time. I liked the Sandou Trio Russian Bar’s concept, but the act is one of those where I don’t see where it would go from there. She goes up, flips, and comes down hoping she doesn’t die.
QUESTIONABLE PASSES: Dani Shay was a decent singer, but after the initial shock, I don’t think she could do that skit a second time. Dani’s whole act could be summed up by the website Lesbians That Look Like Justin Bieber. Lil’T seemed good, but the previews for next week showed a young trio of break-dancers; I’d love to see him have to battle the three during the Las Vegas Week.THE BIGGEST TIME WASTER: While Status B.L.A.K couldn’t sing or flip, the weirdest act to me was Professor Splash. I think the real reason why people want to watch this guy is because they want to see him seriously injured on live television. I don’t understand how this is an act; it’s just a scientifically enhanced Jackass skit.
Minneapolis
STANDOUTS: Animal act Sara Huft & Echo, singer Lys Agnes, and dance troupe, the Silhouettes. Of the three, Lys was my favorite because she reminded me of Des'ree; if Lys attempts "Kissing You" from Romeo + Juliet, I'll melt into butter. I hope that parrot won’t be moody in future cuts, or else Sara won’t survive.
QUESTIONABLE PASSES: Without Piers, The St. Luke’s Bottle Band, The Halls of Magic, and Viva La Muerte all made it through. The Bottle Band sounds like a lot of fun especially with corks flying into the audience attempting to poke Sharon in the eyes. The one that confused but amused me was Those Funny Little People. I can imagine a whole scene with either a good snow theme background with candy canes, or Santa's workshop. I'm not a fan of the guy with the tongue depressors.
THE BIGGEST TIME WASTER: Walt Winston. What does hanging out with my friends have to do with truck drivers and their inability to cry? I also need to know what website allowed him to have 70 number-one hits. I need to register for the site and have my own smash.
Who was your favorite on the night?

The show is having a great season with the exception of Howie Mandel. He is rude, and votes for no talent just to be offbeat. His latest nude antic was so over the top. Please replace him next season!!! Otherwise, our family will be tuning out "America's Got Talent".
Piers put Ryan Andreas through the first round saying "1000 percent Yes!" Then the fact they didn't put him through Vegas or brought him back as a wildcard is ridiculous. Andreas was the best singer of all the auditions, and moved the crowd like none of the others. He got the biggest standing ovation. It's another reason they either need new judges or different management. I believe possible Piers and/or management let the show's politics come into play as they don't want another pure singer winning the show.
hey Walt, it's only a review. but as long as we're on the subject, where can "we fans" find the records/sources/links of your 70 number 1 online hits?
Obviously radio blah blah blah never drove a semi or big rig but I have worked in broadcasting. You have no clue on what the song is about, and let me tell you, that if you ever had a relative pass away while I did while on the road and couldn't make the funeral you would have done the same thing. You wish to critize without even knowing anything about me. You're not a journalist but a yellow dog journalist! Also remember the claim is not a claim but a fact! I do have 70 Online #1 Hit singles and they are online since commercial radio does not allow independent artists airtime as congress mandated them to do so as of 2007! I have my fans you know and a lot more people liked me than half of the acts that made it through. DEAL WITH IT!
When are we going to see pure raw talent like Susan Boyle? This year whomever is doing the final say on who goes on stage is doing a lousy job. Where is American's talent or do we even have one auditioning this year? Why is Sharon always laughing and sticking up for Howie? But you have to admit some of his antics are funny, because without some humor this years show is a dud so far.
