Where's it at people? I'm somekindofguy, and as is the usual I'm starting up the discussion for the 2019 season of America's Got Talent.

What is this?
Basically another talent show in the wasteland of primetime TV. But there's the chance you get something other than singers and dancers along the way. Hell, last year was won by Magician Shin Lim. You'll get singers with sob stories, yes, but you will also get magic, comedy, danger, acrobatics and a lot of stuff in between. And hey, if an act you like doesn't get through, feel free to :qq: here about it.

What's new this season?
Well, we have a fairly significant lineup change this year, with two new female judges and a brand new host.



Joining everyone's favorite germophobic comedian Howie Mandel and reality TV kingmaker Simon Cowell are:
-Dancing with the Stars veteran Juliane Hough
-Actress and activist Gabrielle Union
-And all around killer Terry Crews as host

Along with various guest judges throughout the season.

Where can I catch this?
The first episode of the auditions airs tonight on NBC, 8 PM Eastern. Don't worry if you miss it though, as NBC tends to put clips on via Youtube the next morning, letting you catch the highlights without all the fluff.

Hope you enjoy, and pray for less singers.

First round of the judge cuts is on, with Brad Paisely as a guest. Expect a singer to get through.

I know musicians aren't popular on here but I like Swedish guitarist dude.

I'm glad the mentalists got kicked off. It's probably from something biased, but I hate when, in a group of 2 mentalists, one puts on a pair of glasses with the intent of reading some words or looking at a picture and the other mentalist with a blindfold on can suddenly see what his or her partner is pointing their glasses at. Stuff like that. Fuckit. Who knows what magician's trick they're using is but with today's technology that, not just what's available to magicians but what's available to regular consumers , the magic in this type of act is completely gone.

Little girl who does folk guitar with some mid-song rapping. Eh. It's good the first few times. She covers subjects most everyone can relate to. She has to be able to evolve that song formula and so far it's the same both times. If she keeps doing it she's a goner.

I love this show but do they have to cut to judge/audience reactions 30 times an act? Jesus. Also, bring back Tyra. We are back to Nick-Cannon-level of "Whoa! Now that's talent!" Or "They're juggling!" backstage reactions from Terry.

There, that's off my chest. I enjoyed Robert Finley (the blind vet who sang his original the last week of auditions). Other than that, boo to singers.

Glad to see we got some activity. Reminder that round 2 of Judge Cuts is coming shortly, featuring Dwayne Wade as the guest.

I'm just hoping he doesn't put through another musical act, but who am I kidding.

I can only sigh as another kid singer gets through. This is the usual I know, but the number of kid GBs is a little disheartening.

Least we got a couple dancing acts I guess.

lol so i guess the fat chick comedian ended up to be a really lovely prop comic? that or she mistook what the audience enjoyed the most out from her first performance

she'd probably be better if she was a magician and was able to pull like 20 things out of her tits

That act was loving insane and should have sent them straight through, bypassing any votes. :argh:

You're entering a realm which is unusual. Maybe it's magic, or contains some kind of monster... The second one. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.

I'm surprised Kodi Lee hasn't gone as viral as I was expecting; he sounded like he had everything to tug at America's heartstrings all summer. I'm still picking him to make a deep run because he's a singer.

Quick, someone Photoshop an "Oops, All Berries!" cereal box to be about child acts.

(Unless Toots from Clone High wins the Dunkin save.)


edit: lol at Simon just saying "the youth choir!" and not even bothering to gently caress the name up like the rest of the judges.
