Americas got talent... nobody can sustain a 90 minute act.?

Question

i don't know why they keep referencing back to this... but nobody this season matches to the likes of terry fator who signed that 100 million dollar deal and gets his own 90 minute show. basically everyone in this with the exception of maybe the opera singer and sinatra guy will be part of some short day time show or a variety show like "V". I don't think anybody would pay to see "the Cadence" at a prime spot in vegas when you have the Blue Man Group and Stomp Out Loud. Even the Extreme Dance Company... they have so many dance shows such as "Lord of the Dance"... there is no way they can compete with them. Even the sword swallowing man.... they cut him because they said his act won't sustain 90 minutes... well no it won't... but it would work perfect during a variety show in a 10 or 15 minute act!

So what i'm saying is why does Sharron keep referring back to "your act was good but it won't sustain 90 minutes" because i can guarantee nobody will reach the fame terry fator did and nobody will get a prime time 90 minute slot in vegas... I'm sorry but its true... what do you guys think?

Answer 1

haha! We were just talking about that the other night at my house! It seems like the level of "talent" this year is nowhere near where its been.

Its also upsetting b/c it seems like everyone is just a good singer. (Neil, Jessica, Queen Emily, etc). I'm sick of singing shows. That's what Idol and Nashville Star are for!

AGT should be about showcasing other talents like tumbling or something random like vantriliquisim as they did last year! I was so pissed when the breakdancer dudes didn't get in to the wild card spot and its another freakin' singer dude! Blah!

I really like AGT and have watched it since Season 1, but I'm also getting sick of everyone saying, "It would mean the world if I won" and "I've been dreaming about this forever." Can't they come up with something besides old sayings? Come on!

Disappointed in Season 3 so far...

Answer 2

i know what you mean! i can't see a single act sustaining 90 minutes. there's a ton of talent, jessica price can sing her butt off but i don't want to pay for a vegas show to go and watch her sing for 90 minutes. even my absolute fave, neil e boyd (opera man), i'm not sure if anyone wants to watch an hour and a half of that!  

Answer 3

To quote "The Hoff" I think you nailed it.  I called both of the first two season winners and only Fator got the lottery ticket your talking about.  One in a Hundred Million shot HE was.  

The reason is; now that they broke the record, the bar has been set.

In the eyes of the producers -- and Sharon -- ANY future winner of THEIR show must measure up.  No one can.  

Still, I think the girl that covered "Time After Time" wins this time.
