America's Got Talent (season 15) auditions.
Rerun of Tuesday’s show on Sunday.
Not counting any naturalizations, with the addition of Sofía Vergara this year none of the judges on America's Got Talent are American.
Better show this week. No golden buzzer.

Chef Boy Bonez: Sofia Vergara FALLS Out Of Her Chair After Being FREAKED Out By Rapper's Eye Balls

, literally. I would not have voted for him, but he advanced.

Lewis Shilvock: Australian Solo Dancer With INCREDIBLE Moves On @America's Got Talent

I don't think a solo dancer will go far, but he's pretty good. I'll bet he ends up with a good contract somewhere.

OMG! Bonebreakers Stretch Limits In New Ways You Haven't Seen! - America's Got Talent 2020

West African contortionist team. Excellent choreography and showmanship. One of my favorites.

Alan Silva: Emotional Acrobat Is Out To Prove To His BULLIES That Size Does NOT Matter!

That was a surprise. Another one of my favorites.

Winston: Venezuelan Dramatic Card Magician Will BLOW Your Mind!

Yep, mind blown. My final favorite.

YT is now suggesting Cowsills vids for me. Thanks again, O Really.

America's Got Talent (season 15) auditions.
Week 7, the last auditions. Rerun of Tuesday’s show on Sunday eve. Some were from home and no one in the audience. Taping caught up with the pandemic.
Upcoming:
"AGT: Best of Auditions" July 21, 2020
"Judge Cuts" July 28, 2020
"AGT: 15th Anniversary Special" August 4, 2020

Then nothing scheduled - pandemic, I'm sure. We'll see.

Idk if it's the talent this year or I'm jaded after 14.5 years, but I'm not liking all that many this year.

Austrailian Filpino Mysterious 'Masked Singer' WOWS The Judges With Amazing Voice!

That surprised me. Idk about winner, but might go far.

Mentalist Max Major SHOCKS the Judges From Hundreds of Miles Away!



Alexis & The Puppy Pals Deliver an AMAZING Dog Show!

That's scary focus for an 8 year old. My fav of the night.

John Sevier Austin

Cool trick. Glad he advanced, probably won't want him to go further.

America's Got Talent (season 15) auditions.
... Rerun of Tuesday’s show on Sunday eve....
Upcoming:
"AGT: Best of Auditions" July 21, 2020

Good show. I may end up rooting for some acts that I dismissed earlier.

[Vrede too]

Stumbled on this, 2015:


Watch This! Charlie Chaplin Is Not Dead!

Finalist, also:
France's Incroyable Talent semi-finalist, 2016
America's Got Talent: The Champions eliminated, 2019

[Vrede too]

America's Got Talent (season 15) Quarter-final 1, audience votes. Shown last night, rerun this weekend.

I'm only rooting for 2 to advance tonight, 5 will move on.


Stunt Artist Bello Nock Falls In Rehearsal But Daughter Steps In And Nearly KILLS Herself




Pork Chop Revue: Howie Mandel Gets BOOED After Grilling The Pigs Performance

Fun!, not that I want them to win it all.

Neither of these are "in danger" at 4-6. So, the rest are either 1-3 (advance) or 7-11 (go home). "in danger" is actually the better odds. 1 audience save + 1 judge save = 2 out of 3 advance. Otherwise, only 3 out of 8 advance.

Bummer, danger stunt Annaliese Nock just got eliminated. On the bright side Archie Williams, a singer who was falsely imprisoned for 37 years!, advanced. I don't think the singing is champion-talented, but he's otherwise more than worthy of good things happening for him.

Edit: Pork Chop Revue got eliminated. I'm 0 for 2. Either America sucks or I do.

I used to enjoy watching those old test patterns that would fill the screen when the station was off the air. These days it seems all stations are on air all the time and the test pattern is apparently no more. If there were an aquarium channel I'd watch that for a while. I'd also watch a fireplace channel in the winter. On Sunday mornings there are some really strange religious shows that feature the fucking worst singing in the world. I like to get up early with a six pack of beer on Sundays and watch that stuff. It's fascinating.

America's Got Talent (season 15) Quarter-final 2, audience votes. Shown last night, rerun this weekend.

I'm only rooting for 4 to advance tonight, 5 will move on.

O REALLY ALERT:

Golden Buzzer (Terry Crews): Voices of Our City Choir Delivers Emotional Performance - America's Got Talent 2020

People experiencing homelessness in San Diego.

Sadly ...

NINA LEILANI DEERING 1985-2020
She co-founded homeless choir seen on TV show
Nina Leilani Deering (center), shown with members of Voices of Our City choir, died in a car crash Thurs. ...

Weird, her death was not mentioned last night. All acts usually do everything they can to tug at our heartstrings. Anyhow:

Voices of Our City: Homeless Choir Bring CHILLS To Sofia Vergara In HEARTFELT Performance

I might have liked their audition more, but still . . .

Daneliya Tuleshova: 13-Year-Old Rising Star From Kazakhstan WOWS America With Unbelievable Voice!

Such a deep voice!

Daneliya Tuleshova: Kazakh Teen Singer Gets STANDING OVATION After Harry Styles 'Sign of the Times'!

Excellent again, 14 now.

BAD Salsa: Indias Got Talent Winner Dance Duo SHOCK The Judges With HOT Fast Energetic Act

Dance and acrobatics.

Bad Salsa: Indian Duo Brings Bollywood To Hollywood! WOW!

Great kids!

Alexis & The Puppy Pals Deliver an AMAZING Dog Show!

That's scary focus for an 8 year old. My fav of the night.

Alexis & Puppy Pals: Child Dog Trainor with The CUTEST Personality and Act!

I might have liked her audition more. Still impressive.

No favorites, I just hope any of the ones I like advance this week.

Edit: Alexis & Puppy Pals is "in danger" at 4-6. So, the rest are either 1-3 (advance) or 7-11 (go home). "in danger" is actually the better odds. 1 audience save + 1 judge save = 2 out of 3 advance. Cool. Otherwise, only 3 out of 8 advance. Uh-oh, my other picks will need to be 1-3, as if.

Edit: Voices of Our City Choir advanced to the semis. My first this year.


Edit: Bad Salsa advanced to the semis. Yippee!!!

Edit: Daneliya Tuleshova advanced to the semis. I'm 3 for 3, wow.

Final edit: The audience save did not go to Alexis & Puppy Pals and the 4 judges made is a 2-2 tie with a danger act. So, back to audience votes and Alexis & Puppy Pals got sent home.

I'm now 3-3 in the quarterfinals. Could be worse.

[Vrede too]

America's Got Talent (season 15) Quarter-final 2. Shown last night, rerun this weekend....

Tonight 8 pm ET. These visiting past contestants on the results show (rerun Sat or Sun) are fun:


JABBAWOCKEEZ - Special Performance at America's Got Talent 2020

Amazing, the jerkiness is like a camera trick rather than dance. Not far on AGT 2007, but they won America's Best Dance Crew the next year.


America's Got Talent 2020 Darci Lynne Farmer Special Guest Quarter Finals Week 2

Always a stunning performer, 2017 AGT winner, still only 15 years old, net worth $8M.

[Vrede too]

America's Got Talent (season 15) Quarter-final 3. Live, the audience votes. Shown last night, rerun this weekend. Good show.

I'm rooting for 3 to advance tonight, but there are 3 others that I'd be okay with. 5 will move on. No particular order.

My top 3:

Sheldon Riley: Filipino-Australian Masked Singer Gives OUTSTANDING Performance

African Bone-Breakers Are So Good It's PAINFUL To Watch!

3 contortionists.

Aerialist Alan Silva Soars While Performing to "Stupid Love" - America's Got Talent 2020

WAFFLE NY Subway Dance Crew: Simon's Golden Buzzer PROVE They Deserve To Win!

Dance Town Family Bring the Latin Heat to the America's Got Talent Stage!

The judges liked almost all 11 acts, anything can happen.

End: Judge save.

WAFFLE NY Subway Dance Crew: Simon's Golden Buzzer PROVE They Deserve To Win!

Both "in danger" at 4-6. So, the rest are either 1-3 (advance) or 7-11 (go home). "in danger" is actually the better odds. 1 audience save + 1 judge save = 2 out of 3 advance. Cool. Otherwise, only 3 out of 8 advance. Uh-oh, my other picks will need to be 1-3, as if.

I should have watched Ninja reruns for the first AGT hour of Quarter-final 4. I'll post tomorrow if there are any acts I like from the second hour.

[Vrede too]

Make that the first hour and a half that I could have skipped. There were some decent acts, but none I got excited over.

America's Got Talent (season 15) Quarter-final 4, the last one. Live, the audience votes. Shown last night, rerun Fri night.

There were finally a couple of acts that I liked in the last half hour. 5 of 11 will move on. My odds should be good, but I could get skunked like in Quarter-final 1.


Bello Sisters: Sibling Acrobatic Trio DELiver Sizzling HOT Sexy Act on AGT Quarterfinals

Great at what they do, though they'd need more variety to fill up a Vegas show.

My favorite of the night:


Brandon Leake: POWERFUL Poetry About Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake...

"In danger" at 4-6. So, the rest are either 1-3 (advance) or 7-11 (go home). "In danger" is actually the better odds. 1 audience save + 1 judge save = 2 out of 3 advance. Otherwise, only 3 out of 8 advance. Also, both of the others are singing acts, which should help the acrobats by splitting the vote. Cool.

Saved by the judges 2-1, last act into the semis. Whew.

My favorite of the night:

Brandon Leake: POWERFUL Poetry About Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake...

2031 ET: Yes! In the semis.

2 for 2, perfect balance to my Quarter-final 1 flop.

[Vrede too]

America's Got Talent final results tonight. It all depends on the audience votes and there will be no bubble acts or judge saves. The final performances were shown last night, probable rerun Fri night.

Tonight's show is 2000 - 2300 ET, but I don't think there will be actual results until the last hour or even half hour. Okay by me, I'll listen/watch with one ear/eye while doing computer catch-up.

6 of the 10 finalists are singing acts , 5 soloists and a country duo . Might as well be American Idol or The Voice. Maybe they'll cancel each other out. My favorite of the singers is:

Daneliya Tuleshova: BLOWS The Roof Off With "Alive" By Sia In The AGT Finale Performance

However, she's 14 and there's also an 11 and a 15 year old girl, she's from Kazakhstan, and other's may like the single mom or the convict exonerated after 37 years in prison - each of his song choices took on a whole new meaning given his tragic history.

Poet Brandon Leake had been a favorite of mine, but I liked his Finals poem least of all of his.

I really like these next 2 acts, but I think they need more variety to fill up a Vegas show. Maybe that will work against them.

Bello Sisters: The Sexy German (acrobat) Sisters Trio Pull Out a Surprise In SENSATIONAL Finale Performance

Alan Silva: AMAZING ("little person") Aerialist Finale Performance Proves He's In It To Win It!

My favorite, somewhat, is:

Bad Salsa: Indian Dance Duo Come To America For The Live Finale With SHOCKING Performance!

However, I don't expect them to win. I'm more ambivalent than most years. I'll only be disappointed if the country duo triumphs, though I don't hate them for doing Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight in the Finals.

[Vrede too]

If you're interested, there are some performances I liked in the semis:

Alan Silva: Aerialist Steps Up In The AGT Semi-finals With Extrememly DANGEROUS Moves

Advanced to the finals.

Brandon Leake: Poet's EMOTIONAL Letter To His Dad MISSING From His Life! WOW

Advanced to the finals.

Bello Sisters: The Sexy Sister Trio WOW The Judges With Crazy Moves!

Advanced to the finals.

Bad Salsa: Indian Dance Duo BLOW The Judges Away — Want To Make India PROUD!

Advanced to the finals.

Voices Of Our City Homeless Choir Pays Tribute To Our "Heroes" In EMOTIONAL Performance

Did not advance.

Not bad, 4 out of 5 advanced.

Then, there were some performances I sort-of liked in the semis:

Daneliya Tuleshova: 14-Year-Old Khazak Singer WOWS America! A Star In The Making

Advanced to the finals.

Dance Town Family: Florida Dance Crew Out to PROVE They Deserved The Wildcard Comeback

Did not advance.

Malik Dope:The World's DOPEST Drummer On America's Got Talent Semi-finals

Did not advance.

Waffle Crew: NYC Dance Group and Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer Are Ready For The BIG SHOW!

Did not advance.

Jonathan Goodwin: EXTREMELY Dangerous Zipline Stunt Has Sofia Vergara SHIVERING In Fear!

Did not advance.

Just 1 of my 5 'sort-of liked' advanced.

... the convict exonerated after 37 years in prison - each of his song choices took on a whole new meaning given his tragic history....

He just got an on-air shout out from Meghan Markle!
