Masterclass 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 […]

Masterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent Semi-Finalists: Group 2


  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 two-hour telecast of America’s Got Talent will feature the Final 12 acts vying for a position in the Semi-Finals.

Masterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent: Group Three Of The Top 48


I am thoroughly enjoying America’s Got Talent this year. I think the producers and judges have discovered some great talent despite the fact that many enormously talented artists were dismissed early in the season.

Masterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent: Group Two Of The Top 48


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 […]
