Are there any other Canadians on here? I wish they had a Canada's Got Talent. I am a singer but I am 28 and too old for Canadian Idol. Canada never gets the good shows!

Canada's Got Talent? hmm

So they'd have a AGT, BGT, and CGT. haha... it'll happen in due time.
Evilgenius222
Agreed. I would love a Canada's got Talent! However it does sort of bother me that we (Canada) don't really have any original shows. Most of our reality/talent shows are copies of american shows (eg. Canadian Idol, Canada's next top model) Oh well that's just my opinion.
QUEENFISH
They've revampt the site, looks great AGT.
makingitbig
What do you mean?
QUEENFISH
the americas got talent page at nbc. The one that gets you here if you go the long way. The one where you print the forms and stuff from. They changed the way the page looks, gave it a makeover. It's real nice, They're getting things ready to begin the show. They're still advertising that you can send in a tape for the final audition. I wonder what it is they're looking for??? hmmm.

FYI, you can visit the show's site by clicking on the VISIT SHOW SITE link at the top of this forum. (It's a bit hard to see, but it's under the TUESDAYS 9/8c text.)

So having seen both variations on the GOT TALENT theme... who really has raw talent?

The only British act we have seen that is worthy... we predicted the winner last season BEFORE the end of the auditons :-) is this guy...

Suleman Mirza - Michael Jackson Tribute Act

Got to be one of the most original and talented audtions in the history of talent!

Check him out here if you have not seen him yet check out the video below... and then watch it again to see just how amazing he really is...

****************

Britains Got Talent - Suleman Mizra is Michael Jackson

****************



So has anyone seen this type of talent on Americas Got Talent yet...

Loving the Show, but we need LESS adverts!

Maybe there will be a USA V UK V World FINAL of GOT TALENT... now that would be a good show! (you heard it here first!) and the contestants would love the chance to be broadcasted all around the world...
QUEENFISH
Ummmmm, I wanna hear more singers dude
karenaycock
Very good post there Queenfish! I know right.Besides, comedians and magicians can get boring at times,especially when the person is boring.They don't know what a great singer is when they heard one.I wanna hear more singers too.But you really can't tell them agt people nothing.It goes and comes out of their ears.I think they need to have separate shows,one for singers,musicians,actors,models,and then one for comedians and magicians.It would only be fair.Especially for the ones who are too old for American Idol.Singers and musicians are supposed to be very important too.

Who cares? Let Canada figure out to do a talent show,its not Americas responsibilty to do their dirty work.That is whats wrong with America today,America is so busy worrying about helping other countries out all the time when theres Americans who are suffering every single day.Other countires just don't care as long as they keep using our hard working Americans and killing Americans on a daily basis,and coming to America very Illegally all the time, their happy.Besides charity should begin at home.Talk to the people of Canada,not the people of America.America shouldn't even have anything to to to with rather another country has talent or not.America should not be held responsible to do any other countries dirty work any longer.I do beleive that America has suffered enough as it is.But No one cares.I am sure that Mr.Simon Cowell,would be more than glad to help you out.So ask him,not the hard working people of America.I am so sick and tired of the illegal immigrants from other countries using America all the time.Thats whats wrong with out society today.America has their own problems,most less to help some other country who don't even realize the HELL,we have been through since 9/11.Their always taking us for granted and the government is stupid enough to get by with it all the time every single day.Its not Americas fault that Canada doesn't get the good shows.Why don't you take it up with the Government or even Simon Cowell? Thats not Americas problem.Thats Canadas problem.

I would like to see Canada's Got Talent. I'm sure that CTV is working with SyCo to bring the show to Canada.
joe_dawg_9
You were close - Signature did finish in second place.

But I saw many acts on BGT that could have won just as easily as George. If BGT is any indication of AGT this year, then we'e in for a real treat.
SciFi_C
I have tried to inquire with NBC since the end of Season 1, but can't get an answer.... Does anyone know when Season 1 will be out on DVD? I was in the audience during episode rapping Granny and the whole Finale'.... ANY help is greatly appreciated.

I am hoping someone who is involved with the corporate/production side of America's Got Talent can answer this question. I live in Denver, Colorado and want to put on a local fundraising Talent Show for a local cancer nonprofit. Would it be illegal to use the name "Denver's Got Talent"? If so, how can I get permission to use that name?
Thank you, Rebecca

Wondering whether the Atlanta episodes are airing first?

At the audition show we went to in atlanta, they said our session would be first, but I think they may say that to all of the audiences!!!

They should want to publisize that, so that they will encourage local vewership.

All I have to say is you have issues that I think you need to sort out. All that was said was that they wish there was show like this in Canada. If you feel so strongly about how you feel then maybe you should talk to your own goverment
showcritic
is there a way you can vote for free online?
johnnystuntdouble
probably. was that an option last season?
Auntiekk
Were there any other winners besides Bianca and Terry?
soifeas
I saw advertised during the show where David has a blog. What is the URL and do the other judges also have blogs? I didn't walk back in the room in time to hear.
nbcFAN00
did i see that right??? terry fator signed for a 100,000,000??? that's 100 MILLION DOLLLARS to perform in vegas??? OH MYYYYY!!! that's like Celine Dion money...right???

what casino signed him to that kind of money? and is this a LIFETIME DEAL???

thoughts?
nbcFAN00
how about this idea NBC? instead of waiting a WHOLE year to air another cycle of AGT, why don't you bring the show back in the FALL, maybe as a mid-season replacement and bring back 10 of the most promising talents from the first three seasons that did not win and have them go at it for a shot at the MILLION and a show in VEGAS??? basically a BEST of the BEST AGT season!!!

instead of trying to bring on new shows that will end up on the chopping block after one airing, you might as well work with what you have and AGT is pretty much a sure thing...PLUS, it would be a great segway into AI, even though I know that isn't on your network but at least for us viewers, the withdrawals wouldn't be as bad...

if you consider this idea, consider hiring me!!! lol wink.gif

VIEWERS: if this came to fruition, WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RETURN???
Matt71
That $100,000,000 is for a 5 year contract at the Mirage.
I'd be really surprised if he laster that long.

That's still a boat load of money though. At 7 shows a week, he'll bring in $275,000 a show.

My problem is that the math isn't working out for me.
Let's say they charge $150 a ticket (crazy, but not unusual for Vegas), they'd have to sell 1,834 tickets PER show, just to pay his fee alone. No way a casino is going to stand for breaking even on anything that takes people off the casino floor. They'd need to sell at least 2,500 tickets to come close to breaking even.

Considering Terry is currently performing at venues such as the Las Vegas Hilton which has a capacity of 1,700 people, I can't imagine he can sell out a 2,500 seat theater consistently for 5 years.
EckLyn
I desperately would like to surprise my son, a major fan of the show, with tickets to the season finale in Las Vegas. Can anyone tell me where I could get them or what venue the show is going to be at? it would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Matt71
Just wanted to correct my math before someone else does. Terry would be making $55,000 per show (I calculated for 1 year rather than 5 - oops). So, I guess the casino would still make money, but I still don't think he'll last.
nbcFAN00
matt...that's crazy money!!! 5 years, 100,000,000 bucks...terry made a great deal!!! michael jackson probably won't make that much at the hilton when he starts! lol
milos
Can anyone tell me where to buy tickets to be in the audience when the show comes to Las Vegas? Where will the show be filmed? How can I get tickets? I would really appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks!

To Whom It May Concern:

Granted AGT is a show that uses a lot of resources, at the end of the first episode when the judges left to go to their "PRIVATE JET" I had issues with it.
Like I said they use a lot of resources, so being green is quite hard. One thing that did not need to be seen or known was that each of the judges took a seperate limo to a private jet. One of two things, that could have been omitted or they could have all taken a town car together and flown first class off a commercial liner. If NBC is promoting for us to be green shouldn't NBC shows follow what they are preaching. Isn't it hypocritical to show the obvious abuse of resources that the show uses. NBC needs to put some "Green" standards to the shows before they even start recording.
Like I said it could have been omitted from the show. I do feel all stars do the same thing, having their own separate modes of transport, but it did not need to be shown. I guess this means I can leave my lights on , my A/C on all the time even when I am not home and I don't need to recycle anymore. If the stars/ producers/ creators/ and owners of shows and companies aren't doing it, then why should I?
Now that I have ranted enough about it, NBC and/ or America's Got Talent, what do you do/ are you doing in being "Green" ? That end scene of the first show, shows, from my point of view, I see nothing in being "Green".

Maybe they mean Green in another sense (as in spending lots of it).
catlovingal
If anyone could tell me where I could do a make up for last week's first hour,
would be appreciated. I and my landlord watch HK from 8-9 Tuesday. I can't
believe NBC is running AGT opposite it instead of Weds. or Monday night mad.gif mad.gif
jleames
I have searched the internet and have not found a date for the live shows to take place. When are they and are there tickets left? If so how do I get my hands on 2 of them?
moore8487
When the show moves to Las Vegas where will it be performing and how can somenone get tickets for the show(s). I am going out ot Las Vegas in August and my family and I would like to attend a show if it is possible.

In advance Thanks.
Tessie_in_KY
Instead of showing audience/judges/host/family member reaction during a
performance, perhaps, you can show the performance in its entirety while
showing audience/judges/host/family member reaction on a split screen.
Some performances are too good to miss even a second or two. If you
add up all the times reactions are shown, they add up to at least 25% of
the performance.
halibob
I am going to be in Las Vegas August 5-8, 2008. Does anyone know if America's Got Talent will be there during those dates? What theater are they performing in? How do get tickets to be in the audience?

Thanks!
Red5ive
How many episodes are there in each season? I want to have enough songs rehearsed for next year so our band can be ready.

This reply was not necessary! This is not the site for your concerns about what is fair to the United States and what is not. I say "United States" because I happen to live in "America" as well, "North America" which includes "Canada".
thedevil
are all the acts actually performing in the cities they tell us?
it looks like the same theater/stage every episode.
OfficerBob
I would love to see some of the auditions that did not make the show (or could not make the show...come on censors!). Anyone else?
Matt71
I think they use the same set everywhere, so they can edit each act into whichever city they want. I've heard a few people mention, both this season and last, that acts auditioned in different cities than the show said. Acts are also not aired in the order they auditioned.

Last season, Jerry Springer joined the show after the initial auditions were completed. They added an extra audition (Houston I think) so they could get footage of Jerry with the crowds. That footage was later edited into multiple episodes and passed off as being in whatever city that episode focused on.

The show uses a lot of creative/deceptive editing throughout.
AxeGrinder
Okay, I have seen myself in THREE episodes so far, and I would like to watch them again online as I am still in the dark ages and do not have TIVO and don't set my DVD to record. I may have been on again last night, but I had a family emergency and could not be home to watch.
PLEASE, Idalia, or other mods, let me know where I can find these episodes to watch. I drove a lot of hours to an audition, stayed up all night, waited in line in the cold and the dark, and did everything you all asked of me. The least you could do for me and other performers who did the same is to let us know where we can watch the shows online. Give a sister a break.
Peace.
AxeGrinder
ABC and CBS rock!!!! (moderate this!)

If you go to http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/ you will find clips and photos from the show, however, the episodes themselves not viewable there. You can get them from Hula.com and other sites.
