What Is Going On With America's Got Talent??

Too many violin fans in my audience, I’m gonna need you all to find a new hobby immediately please 😡

i've said this for years, but they should not allow singing acts on this show. there are a million singing talent shows already, if i'm watching america's got talent i wanna see someone jump 10 cars with a dirtbike or something. singing is SO BORING.

"it doesn't matter that you fell down what matters is that you got up" uhh is this a talent show or a keep trying show

You know Dr. Doofenshmirtz would win purely off of dramatic backstory

"I actually broke the record for youngest person when i was born in 1993" *crowd goes ooohhh* GOLDEN BUZZER

"What you've done tonight is more dangerous than anything I've ever seen before," proceeds to show clips of them doing an average highschool cheer team's routine

There's nothing that pisses me off more than a judge smacking another judge's buzzer.

I was on the newest season of AGT (Michael Myers piano act). From what I understand, the judges have no expectation of who the contestants are and the producers have no idea how the judges will react. I do believe that the judges and producers have mutually agreed to really lean into “sappiness” as much as possible, however.

They should do categories instead, really. You can’t compare singing to acrobatic acts. You just can’t. I’m so sick of singers beating out everyone else

I hate that there are so many child singers who sound so average but because the judges don't wanna be mean to kids they send them through.

Can you imagine an Olympic gymnast getting a gold metal because "it doesn't matter that you fell down, it matters that you got back up"

I'm not even half way through, and I've noticed that several of the acts aren't even from America. It's not "America's Got Talent" it should be called "People who traveled to and are auditioning in America that have some degree of talent maybe"

If you think AGT is bad now. BGT was this bad YEARS ago. I still remember like 6-7 years ago, they let a jumping hype man who did nothing remotely impressive through, and that same year on AGT Simon had to BEG a third judge to say yes to a dog having an epic sword fight with the trainer. I was like “WHAT?!” BGT stopped trying years ago, and AGT tried a bit longer before they turned into this

“My parents died before I was born” Gold Buzzer

"At age 6 I was born without a face." Standing ovation Huge uproar of cheers Gold Buzzer

"I didn't talk to my parents for the first 2 years when i was born." GOLDEN BUZZER

I wish there was a version of Got Talent, where there're no stories allowed. You just enter, say your name, and do your thing, no yapping your sob story. Just raw talent, and the market is so saturated with this sobbing garbage everywhere, that I bet it would be quite popular 🤔

I went to a recording of AGT a few years ago and it lowkey ruined everything about it. Us as the audience were heavily encouraged to scream and applaud and basically go crazy for every single act no matter what. They also took a ton of extra takes of fake audience reactions, where we were all supposed to do a standing ovation, then boo, then act disgusted, etc. We had a shot were they told us to use our phone flashlights and sway them in the air as if there were a heartfelt song playing. We even did a fake golden buzzer take. We would be told what emotion we were portraying, then have to act like we saw the best act ever or the worst act ever for twenty seconds until they told us we could stop. (It's actually quite hilarious because if you look at the audience in the final cut of any gameshow the audience will be throwing their hands up, falling over, etc. which is something people just don't do in real life... But it looks good on camera) A guy over the loud speaker would talk nonstop about how we have to "act big if we want to be shown in the final cut!" And basically say the more we overact the more they'll want us to be in the show. The acts were also very fake. At the end, the audience was told that if we have children with us, we should leave the show now. They knew that the next act would be voted out by the judges and that the "contestant" would then start cussing them out and throwing a fit. They basically just told us it was fake by asking kids to leave. There was an act from a different day of filming (btw one episode of the show is several days of filming) that was being refilmed that day and we were told how to respond to it ahead of time. I guess I knew it was all fake ahead of time, but seeing it in person, and how they don't try to hide it at all in tapings, was truly fascinating.

Steel Panther, a professional band that's been making a living for decades, being on a talent show is really unfair.

If someone fails three times in a row on live television, it's in the script.
