'America's Got Talent': Future Funk gets through with Howie's vote
Which acts are the first four put through to the next round on "America's Got Talent?"Okay, so I missed the first 8 minutes due to a DVR snafu. I joined the episode just as Nathaniel Kenyon was put through at the expense of Airpocalypse and Sally Cohn, which is pretty spot-on for me.
I love it that this show makes the contestants hang out together in a red-painted broom closet while they jump and down and pretend to like popcorn. Hilarious.
We now have Selena Gomez with "Round and Round." She looks pretty and stuff but the vocals are pretty weak sauce. She also looks like a little girl playing dress up. Sorry, Selena. You do not spin me right round like a record, baby.
The next group is Nick Pike, Kung Fu Heroes and Fighting Gravity. Well, this has to be FG, right? I mean, it's not even a question. And then they get through, which is the right choice. So far I'm 2-for-2 predicting the advancing groups. C'mon Future Funk and the Tap Dancers!
We jump right into the next results with Christina & Ali, Maricar and the Hot Shot Tap Dancers. If you ask me, the tap dancers should advance. But I'd put my money on the singing sisters, who apparently have a disease, which is very sad but doesn't make them sound better as singers. Anyway, the act that goes through is ... Christina and Ali. Ugh. I mean, they are adorable and I would love to cast them in my production of "Annie" or whatever, but they weren't that good last night. Hmmm. Poor tap dancers.
Before we get to the last spot, we have "Rock of Ages" performing. This is supposed to be "rock" but it's like white bread, sugar pop rock with too-well-choregraphed back-up dancers and Constantine Maroulis permed hair. Hmmm.
The "special surprise guest" turns out to be Dee Snider. My money was on Bret Michaels, but I'm not THAT far off. Bret Michaels : "American Idol" as Dee Snider : "America's Got Talent," am I right?
Does anybody else look at this and wonder if Adam Lambert is headed this way? Just commenting -- I love Adam Lambert.
Wait, what? Journey? In "Rock of Ages?" That's weird. Plus, Constantine does NOT have Steve Perry's high notes AT ALL. Yikes. I'd rather listen to Lea Michele and Cory Monteith and I am not even kidding.
How hilarious was it when Nick Cannon called "American Idol" a "big big talent show." Snerk.
The last group comes down to RNG, Paul Safy Jr. and Future Funk. So last year, the judges' decision was between the two on-the-bubble acts. Are these the acts that finished 4, 5 and 6? Or not? Hmmm.
When the acts get out on stage, the two little Future Funkers are almost crying already. Awww, little guys! But first -- Nick sends one act home! And it is ... Paul Safy Jr. Yeah, that's not a shock. For one, he wasn't that good. And for two, that makes the judges choose between two adorable children's acts. Man, those little boys keep wiping their eyes and the RNG girls are getting choked up. I can't even take this. There should be a kids' division of this show.
Nick informs us that they did come in 4th and 5th, so I feel better about the integrity of the show. (Did I just type that sentence?) Anyway, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the judges put through Future Funk.
Did you notice how the younger Future Funker imitates everything the older Future Funker does? SO CUTE.
So there you have it -- we really only felt like talent-wise Fighting Gravity and the Tap Dancers deserved to advance, which just goes to show you how this show works.
What do you think? Pleased with the results?

Sorry, the tap dancers put me to sleep. Safy should have gone through, but what the hey. FF is cute for about seconds, but for the most part they are annoying. RNG is pretty much as good as any dance act they have ever had on the show. The only reason they did not is, since neither act was going to win, they figured FF (annoying little farts that they are) will probably get an extra point or two on the ratings.
I recommended to the producers last year that children be given their own AGT. Get real! Who's going to pay Vegas show $ prices for most children and most of the acts the judges put through this year. The winner last year probably can't get a Vegas show together. There were other better talented contestents. The judges say they have the ultimate prize in mind but I doubt it with some of the acts they put through. The tapper family could have built a show in Vegas that people would pay to see as can Fighting Gravity.
Adam is selling out concerts left and right this summer. He is fantastic live! He is touring through the end of the year including internationally. Then starting a 2nd album the beginning of 2011. I don't think He is going to do Broadway for a good long while.
I was pleased with the results, other than future funk. Would I pay money to see 2 kids jump around like two kids always do? no.
Jump around like two kids always do? Wow...clearly you have no idea what a dancing talent is. I would like to see your moves.
Thanks my dvr stopped recording as he was yelling for Howie to hurry up and vote, they were going off the air!!!!!Talk about a SOB moment! Anyways glad I found ya. Thanks!!
Why do i even watch this show?
The acts all stink. Fighting Gravity is the only one with talent. It should be called "Americas Has No Talent". I know that there must be talented people in america, but were are they?. Terry Fader was the only good thing to come from this show. I am tired of all of the people on all of these shows crying and whining about their sad lives. These are suppose to be talent shows and i for one am sick of all the whining.
They are thinking ratings vs talent and who ever wins, wins as long as they put on a good pity party show and rake in the ratings its win win for America's Got Ratings err Talent!
I really think that Sally Cohn should have been in the final 4 kids shouild go on american idol you know nobody is going to vegas and pay to watch 2 kids dance on their head you need a show for kids only.
I was really dissapointed that future funk got through, especially over Paul Safy and over RNG. I also thought Hot Shot was a little better than Ali and Christina but still glad they got through. This season is a little disappointing though, because, as one reader pointed out, the judges put some of te worst acts through over way better acts.
