Last night's episode was pretty boring. If Howard doesn't start acting like Howard instead of playing straight then I'll most likely be done with the show. The acts themselves don't keep me interested even though a few are pretty good.

Cannon much better than host of Idol or XFactor, not that it says alot

That one guy nailed the Vince Vaughn impression tho

Opera singer was rapey too when he delivered those notes at the end

i'd enjoy the show more if it was good acts only and not all these fat guys on bicycles playing a horn and shit. I find no humor or enjoyment in watching that part of the show. and once ive seen all these people once im not sure I have any interest in seeing them again and again in Vegas. Except maybe the earth harp guy!

as someone who has watched the last two seasons, it gets better. these episodes are pretty stupid just like all other contest shows. once it gets down to the top 10ish theyre all pretty cool, but really theres only 3 or 4 that you will really enjoy. last year every week i luminate was really good. i also liked anna graceman and a few others. year before fighting gravity was the shit.

Caught that too. Well played Headies.

i would 100% go see fighting gravity and Illuminate in vegas. im pretty sure that dance group that wears the mask was on one of the seasons too(forget their name). but most of the end acts are usually singers and while good, i would prob not see them in vegas. might be a few other acts im forgetting about that id see, but usually theres only 1 maybe 2 acts a season that would be worth payin 30-40 bucks in vegas to see

Don't watch the show but watched that performance of Landau. Now the voice was good, but I didn't think it was spectacular or anything special. Little cheesy song choice, cheesy choreography (the little punch to his own face). But I got to thinking - probably what separated him from most singers is that we see and hear very few people performing in the baritone or lower range. Most male pop singers have tenor to alto-tenor ranges. Now many of the classic songs (Sinatra, Dean Martin) were song in the lower register because those songs sounded best in that range. Rock and pop comes along and you Frankie Valli singing falsetto 2 octaves higher than most men sung at before hand.

So maybe it was the throwback style he had (I didn't watch any other of his performances), but I don't think that he would be successful for a long term pop or rock career. Maybe Broadway, maybe Las Vegas shows, but definitely not mainstream.

I liked the opera guy too. That being said, I know some opera fans and they always trash the opera people.

I can't tell if they just know, or they're just being snobs. Now it's in my head whenevr I see an opera contestant. I always doubt them because I don't really know what I'm watching.

I now have 2 reasons to hate my opera loving friends.

oh and as usual preston luv is wrong...that video u posted is of the guy who won? lol what a joke that guy is a slightly above average singer...the final 3 people on american idol this year are 1000000x better then that guy...that guy probably would even make someones team on the voice

but ya this show is terrible..nick cannon is a douchebag...there were like 2-5 decent acts over the course of 4 hours of tv imo

you know i have been thinking...most posts you make are filled with negativity and hatred. You constantaly type like you are yelling(might as well type in caps imo). People ride your cock sometimes because you can be funny in your hate filled posts. Maybe you should lose your password(taking a line from you) and chill out. Even someone like me has mellowed out with time on this forum. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Are they any good, and can you actually go see them perform in Vegas?

This guy won in 2007 and has a show in Vegas. I went with my family to see him a few years ago.
