'America's Got Talent': The semifinals begin

rudi-macaggi-americas-got-talent.jpgThe live voting shows for "America's Got Talent" are finally here! Starting Tuesday, July 13 the semifinalists start performing live from Hollywood -- who are your faves so far?

We aren't sure how we feel about the children's acts. On the one hand, they're really cute. But on the other hand, they should probably have their own division where the prize is not a Vegas contract. But we feel that way every year and that's the way it continues to be, so what do we know?

I hate this show. Everybody's still riding the American Idol wave, long after the American Idol wave got stale and boring...

The air band people are LAME! That is not talent. Any jackass can dress up in stupid outfits and pretend to play instruments that don't exist. They shouldn't have ever made it to Vegas. What a joke. And after last season's winner and subsequent flop in Vegas, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the end result.

Rap is crap and rolling around on the floor is not dancing. Last night's acts had only one standout--Fighting Gravity.

IU watched the 12 contestants last night get picked to go into the Semi-finals, they were Fighting Gravity, Ali and Christina(the singing sisters),Nathaniel Kenyon, and Future Funk, I only hoped that Future Funk, Fghting Gravity, and the sisters made it. I would have rather had the fourth contestant be either Sally Cohn (the hand-whistler) or RNG (the 11 year old girl dancers) I believe that Nathaniel Kenyon only made it because every teenage girl in America thought he was cute. Yes, America's got Talent is one of my favorite shows, but this season I think America got one wrong.
