It's crazy that that one lady's daughter is that one actress from that movie.


Jennifer Hudson


No, 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.

I'm really kind of tired of sympathy votes ruling this show. 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.

sigh. its so hard to judge the kite flying thing. if a regular person had done that with no pretty music in the background it would've been laughed off the stage, it really wasn't that impressive



This is probably the first thing we have agreed upon.



Someone had to say it. I cannot believe some of the acts made it through to Vegas. Meh, give them their 15 minutes of fame.

The kite thing wasn't too bad. the music was awful... but!

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 don't think people here are specifically saying that it's not a talent, I'm sure it is. Hell, I have trouble keeping a kite up in the air even when I'm outside.
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 humiliating to the point where its not even talent anymore, but a pity show.

Other countries must be laughing so hard at us right now. This show is pathetic imo

That Michael Grimm fellow had a really amazing voice. But that Fighting Gravity dancing thing was like the sickest thing ever. I didn't even know what was happening until the lights came on and revealed the people in the black.

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.

In the same vein as the kite flying kid, check out this kid who sings for mentally disabled elderly people:

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.

I don't like when people talk about their conditions before they act. Maybe I can understand after if it's relevant to the talent you're doing, but I think it sways the judges from not buzzing out bad acts. Those two little girls with the lung disease I would of definitely buzzed out if I didn't hear their sob story beforehand, but whatever.

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)

Yeah no offense but epilepsy isn't THAT bad, although obviously it's more than a simple annoyance. 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.
Grimm guy has a pretty typical skill for a singer; the only good one was the subway singer in the OP.

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.

"American's got pity for unfortunate people who do mediocre things but is cheered only for their disabilities" should be the show's title
