EPTNo, not Jennifer Hudson, she played on Dreamgirls. The Black lady that sings in the subway is the mother of Gaby Sidibe, who is the overweight star in Precious. Basically, both mother and daughter come out of nowhere and blow everyone away with acting, and now with the singing. Thats a pretty talented family if you ask me.

They're not even the best singers on the show, let alone the best act. I was more impressed by the kid from Lousiana and the Subway lady. Their condition is very sad and tragic, for sure, but it's kind of frustrating to see acts get into the higher levels based on how sad their lives are. | ||

Lets do a quick analysis. Having a disability helps in these competitions, the background story is compelling. epilepsy. it sucks. it's not fair. Now flying indoor kites with music. Yeah music makes stuff better, but unless anybody here flies indoor kites and can say its easy. i wouldn't discount that as a talent. it looks cool and it looks easy. a bunch of things look easy when people are good at it. still give them a chance, it might be a talent. | ||

I think it's more the fact that it felt like 90% of the reason that the kid made it through this prelim round is due to his having a disability, and it seems like it's a common trend for these types of competition shows. | ||

This show is pathetic imo I'm sure the whole world is laughing at Canada for America's got talent. It's one of my pet peeves when people talk about the "whole word" laughing at a nation because of a TV show. I mean seriously? Do you think that a nation is defined by its reality shows and entertainment sector in general? If so, Japan would be one fucked up nation. Our everyday lives are nothing like what we watch for entertainment value. Do people expect the average person to watch a classical symphony and opera every day? Just about every nation with free, uncontrolled media has retarded, jingoistic, and provocative reality shows. | ||

He may be nervous, but I still think he should stick to the elderly homes. Sometimes I think producers train up some people and then stick them into the show. For example: Apparently they are dirt poor and dance in the streets, but somehow they are able to come up with a custom mix of Lady Gaga's "Telephone". Plus, they are filmed in streets that are implied to be the streets that they dance in. | ||

This show annoys me so much how they spend half the show showing shitty performances, and as soon as someone really good gets on stage, they keep changing the camera angle to look at the host and the judges and the crowd. God damnit, I want to see the act for myself too! | ||

I don't know if they will win but they should try to go to the show America's best dancing crew ( I don't know if the show is still running because I'm not from the USA and i see the show when he is translate) | ||

Grimm guy has a pretty typical skill for a singer; the only good one was the subway singer in the OP. | ||

Plenty of great figures in history have had epilepsy and they were able to do extraordinary things. The kite-flowing, honestly, is not... extraordinary at all. Yeah, jesus christ, this. Two people, one of which is VERY VERY VERY close to me have epilepsy. It doesn't make you retarded or socially inept. Hell, it doesn't really prevent them from doing much of anything, especially with the medicine you can take for it nowadays. Yes, there are certain times it will get to them... but really? Portraying it as some sort've debilitating disease that he has to 'overcome' to fly a fucking kite? What the fucking christ? Nothing against the kid himself, he's just doing what he likes, but fuck the exploitative people who put together and watch the show for this type of thing. | ||
