America's Got Talent, but why are The British deciding it?

You've got to be kidding me. You've really just got to be kidding me. Is this some sort of joke? Or are the Judges just trying to mess with people's minds? Are they bored, and just putting through acts they think would be funny? Whatever the case, it's not working.

First of all, Hasselhoff slurs his words half the time. I'm pretty sure he's been nipping on the whiskey bottle prior to his on-camera time. Dude, get a twelve-step program. Piers? I agreed with a lot of his decisions for the most part, but clearly he's got a screw loose. And Sharon... Don't get me started on Sharon. She made Ozzy's band re-track the drum and bass parts on Randy Rhodes' albums because she didn't want the original performers to get performance royalties on the sales. What? Those were classics. Don't mess with the classics. Then, she puts poor Ozzy on a "Reality" show because it's entertaining to see an old man who can barely talk fumbling around his kitchen. Right. Oh, and Ozfest 2005? I was there. She cut the sound to Iron Maiden three times, and then had her two little brats throw eggs at the stage. What's wrong with this woman? More than half the crowd was there to see Maiden, not Sabbath. If you think that Ozzy is the Prince of Darkness, Sharon is the Queen of Evil. She's got more evil in her than Ozzy ever did.

So they let through Bollywood guy, and Boy Shakira, but they failed to let through the ventriloquist girl. Come on, she was great! I would much rather watch her than Boy Shakira. I mean, maybe if he actually looked like Shakira, or maybe if he actually looked like a woman it might be entertaining, but come on, that dude is nasty. Why did Bollywood guy make it through? His first performance was "interesting", though certainly not worth a million bucks. Last night was crap. I could do better than that, and I can't dance my way out of a paper bag. What about that cross-dresser guy. They put him through, and not the baton twirler? I just don't understand what they're thinking. Man, I was pretty upset last night, and I have a feeling I'm going to be even more upset tonight.

I've got an idea. Let's just "X" the three Judges, and put the three from "So You Think You Can Dance?" on there. They at least have an eye for talent, and seem to make fair choices, and NOT those that are made in some drunken stupor.

America DOES have talent, but you wouldn't know it if you watched this show. If the Bollywood guy and Boy Shakira make it to the final twenty, I'm gonna flip.

Good points but I dig the Hoff Man

Hey Ben,

You made some great points about this lame show. But - I dig the Hoff man. He is cool. I would have a few drinks before doing that lame show too. He hated that shikera boy lame ass want to be. The other two judges are lame. I think the show should be cancelled but for some reason I am watching it. Oh ya - I watch it because my wife makes me:-)

Keep up the good points.

Dude i fucking love you. You

Dude i fucking love you. You don't let anything get past you and i agree with every thing you've said. I was trying to get a picture of that crazy tranny guy and i stumbled on your column thing and i couldnt be happier with it. i was laughing so hard, even harder than at the losers they put through as opposed to the ones with real talent. i was wicked pissed too, about everyone they put through as jokes. freakin ridiculous. keep up the delightfully accurate criticism (:
