I have to say that I am properly stoked for America’s Got Talent Season 8.
The new line-up of judges looks pretty enticing with the addition of Heidi Klum and Mel B to the panel.
I think there will be some wonderful repartee behind that table as all four judges, which also includes retuning judges, Howie Mandel and Howard Stern, are pretty opinionated. And diverse!
So anticipate nothing but the very best in entertainment on and off the stage. And, come on, who doesn’t love host Nick Cannon and his zany antics?
However, one of the singing acts who auditioned for the Season 8 show is a trio called Forte. A member of this fabulous group, Fernando Varela, is managed by my cousin, Paul Mascioli of Mascioli Entertainment. You can read the background information here. So, pretty exciting from my end!
Here is the news release from NBC.Com:
NBC’S BLOCKBUSTER COMPETITION SERIES RETURNS WITH TWO NEW JUDGES AND EXTRAORDINARY TALENT “America’s Got Talent” returns this summer for its eighth season with the hottest performers from across the country ready to compete for the $1 million prize.

Recorded it and watched it last night, there were a few good acts, namely the 10-year old girl singer, a couple of dance groups, and the country singer. I love watching this show during the summer months. Not sure that they needed Heidi Klum AND Mel B, but hopefully it will go well.

They are supposed to be seen during the LA auditions which started this past Tuesday. So, hopefully, next week. But the producers may edit it differently. Who knows? Will keep everyone posted.

I am a bit upset it conflicts with So You Think You Can Dance, but yes I am ready. I’ll probably watch SYTYCD and record AGT, a lot of filler on AGT to fast forward.
