Tonight and Wednesdays are my favorite nights of the week for television, starting with America’s Got Talent at 8:00 P.M. followed by The Voice at 9:00 – all on NBC. However, the shows switch time slots on Wednesday – don’t ask me why. No wonder the ratings are so sporadic. Anyway, the talent on America’s […]

Ratings For America’s Got Talent and The Voice Soar. So You Think You Can Dance Does A Plié.
Well, the headline says it all. NBC’s decision to air back-to-back episodes of America’s Got Talent and The Voice was a stroke of genius. Both shows benefited from the piggyback plan, in particular, The Voice, which was dipping slightly in the ratings over the last couple of weeks. The Hollywood Reporter had this to say: “(Tuesday) […]

Continue readingMasterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent Top 4 Show
UPDATE: This blog topic was due to be published yesterday, but, somehow, that didn’t happen. However, after last evening’s performance, I feel that Michael Grimm gave the strongest performance of the night. Last week’s America’s Got Talent Top 10 Results Show was an absolute nail-biter, wasn’t it? However, it seems that everything went as planned, although I […]

Last week’s America’s Got Talent Semi-Final Results Show solidified this year’s Top 10 performers, all of whom will be performing tonight for a place in the Top 4 Finale next week.

Last week’s America’s Got Talent Semi-Final Show was not as spectacular as I would have hoped, but, in the end, three of the four acts that should have advanced, did so. Tonight’s 12 performers will also compete for a position in the Top 10 Finals of America’s Got Talent and it promises to be a […]

You’ve got to love the Internet. That 15-minutes- of fame quote made famous by Andy Warhol is currently alive and prescient, thanks to the online “star-making” presence of YouTube.Com. Tonight’s two-hour telecast of America’s Got Talent will feature the best 12 acts discovered on YouTube as determined by the voting public. Set to perform tonight are: Jackie Evancho, […]

I am thoroughly enjoying America’s Got Talent this year.

Last week’s show was quite predictable don’t you think? Georgia singer/musician Nate Kenyon and the amazing act known as Fighting Gravity were destined to move forward to the Top 12. The cystic fibrosis sisters, Christina and Ali, seemed a logical choice as well, while the judges moved Future Funk through to the semi-finals. I […]
