America’s Got Talent Recap: The Top 10 (September 11th, 2008)

Before I get to the top ten list I would like to say that this has easily been the worst season of America’s Got Talent ever. The judges were terrible with their choices. I thought America could redeem the judges terrible choices but with this top 10 America just proved that they are just as stupid as the judges. Here are the final ten for those of you who didn’t see the episode:

  1. The Wright Kids (family band)
  2. Queen Emily (singer)
  3. Neil E Boyd (singer)
  4. Paul Salos (Frank Sinatra impersonator)
  5. Jessica Price (singer)
  6. Kaitlyn Maher (4 year old NBC promotional tool)
  7. Donald Braswell (singer)
  8. Nuttin’ But Stringz (violinists)
  9. Eli Mattson (singer)
  10. Joseph Hall (Elvis impersonator)

When America kicks out the only two acts (Jonathan Burkin and ZOOperstars) that actually had an original talent I lost all respect. This was the last straw for me. There is no way I am going to watch the finale since not a single one of these acts deserved to make the finals in my opinion. I guess America didn’t have enough American Idol since they ended up moving nine singers onto the finals and the other act is also a musical act. America must think that the only way you can have talent is if you sing.  Unless this show gets it’s act together next season I won’t be watching it past the audition rounds since we will probably just get the American Idol finale again.

I call upon everyone who thinks this season and these selections were terrible to boycott the finale. If the ratings drop for the finale we might not have to deal with this garbage next season. Maybe the show will actually get back to trying to find some talent instead of becomming the next American Idol.
