Just finished the LA and St. Louis portions of this current season. I thought Howard Stern was absolutely perfect for this show. I didn't really expect him to be crude Howard Stern...it's NBC primetime ffs. But I thought he was a very solid judge and had some pretty funny shit to say.

On a side note, I want to say f all of you for turning me into a sucker for these talent shows. Before OT, I loathed the very idea of watching one of these things, and the last cpl years, I've been absolutely hooked by them. Idol and now I have a feeling I'm gonna be hooked with AGT, especially with Stern as one of the judges. Could do without Howie Mandel though...and Sharon...just wow, just have a one man judging panel with Howard Stern, and I'll be satisfied.

the only problem with howard stern as a judge, is hes taking over too much it seems to be all about him when it comes to the judging makes thing a bit weird.

Yea, howie mandell is fucking awful.

Im pretty sure the demographic for his jokes are 3rd graders.

Show should be called Americas Full of Dumbfucks that Enjoy Total Shit on TV

Yeah, well, whatcha gonna do?

dunno if anyones following this, who you all like going into the final 48?

i think this is the year where a non singer finally wins..really no one spectacular, altho some good singers. i think maybe they did that so they could have it play out that a non singer wins.(nikki and edon are prob the two best, but i think theyll lose around the top 10)

i think the best acts are aurora light painters(think theyll get like 6thish), eric dittleman(mind reader, he seems really good and has impressed so far), joe castillo(dude that makes the sand art, might be my fav so far, prob won't win tho), and a handfull of good dance groups(puerto ricans, lightwire, guys that paint while dancing), and i like todd oliver(talking dog comedian) and tom cotter(reg comedian).

also really like william close(dude that plays music with strings stertch across the theatres), but we only saw him once so hard to judge.

my top 3 right now is prob lightwire, castillo, and dittleman.

still some shitty acts, but def some new acts ive never seen before like previous years(Illuminate and fighting gravity). once its down to like 20ish should be pretty good.

Eric already knows whether he will win or not tho.

guess most people aren't still watching, but for the few that are, man the 4th round of 12 was pretty amazing. sucks for some of the groups to get paired with so many great acts. dittleman is really impressive, like him even more now. and william close is what i thought he was, amazing and probably the favorite at this point. really doesn't matter for him, hes gonna have a show. howard stern even offered to produce it lol. and castillo was really good again as well. voting comes through tomorrow, really hope they all make it through cuz i def wanna see more and would def pay to see any of those shows, but there legit was not an act tonight i wouldn't pay to see. My guess is almost all of the people who don't make it thru tom. will come back on the wildcard show anyway

the dog act really?

they couldn't even control the one dog that ran back down the steps

That was part of the act...

Was really rooting for that 16yr old dance girl. Thought she was awesome. I have never voted for anything tv wise ever and I voted for her 9 times.

2yrs tho only 2yrs

Combine UNITY IN MOTION with WILLIAM CLOSE.

yea i love dittlemen. dude is super impressive. glad all the people i liked got thru. not a huge fan of the dogs, but its just not my thing, can see why others would vote for them, i woulda liked the dancing girl or unity to go thru. sucks we(i lol) gotta wait 3 weeks for the youtube show.

Ok the best 5 tonight were........

Dittlemen
Turf
Tom Cotter
Acadamy of Villains
William Close (i really am not too fascinated by it but i know others like him)


singers were solid as well.

but only 3 make it...

i want Kotter, Turf and Dittlemen

i think it will be Kotter, Close and Acadamy of Villians

wow, dittleman rapes. seriously dont know how he does it. wasn't that impressed with the triangle inside a circle (i thought of circle inside a triangle) because obv other than a square those will be the first two almost everyone is going to think of those shapes first, so hell be right for half the people, but yea, his past stuff and having the colors right, pretty amazing
