You left out Survivor! Sharon is a survivor and I can't wait to watch her tonight on America's Got Talent. On NBC at 9 p.m.

Sharon is great! I think she is an awesome judge. Glad they dumped Brandy in favor of Sharon.

Well, I just LOVE Sharon Osbourne. She is such a beautiful woman, inside and out, and coveys such a warmth. With her background and accomplishments in music and entertainment, viewers and contestants, alike, must respect her learned opinions on all of the performances. Indeed, she is a survivor of colon cancer (not to mention the 70's) and a true intellect and gracious woman in every sense of the word. Great to have her back on American TV.

Sharon you are by far my favorite judge and one of my favorite TV personalities. I agree with the above poster, your are gracious and warm and funny. I love it when the boys take their shirts off too girl! woohooo.

I met Sharon Twice, and might I say she is a very beautiful woman. I grow and decorate gourds. I decorated one and had the honor of giving it to her in person when she had her talk show on TV. I will always be a big fan no matter what she does......

I do believe that Sharon, simply, ROCKS!!!

She knows when to stand up.

She knows when to step down.

She knows when enough is enough and

She knows when talent has been found!

The woman is a product of her upbringing, her environment, her daily life.

She is the judge to beat!

I have to say she seems like a nice lady but I really don't like how she judges.

Sharon Osbourne is nice. TOO nice. I think she should act a little more...like Piers, and Hoff. I guess she just doesn't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, which I like about her, but she should at least be a BIT more harsh. It's a million dollars you guys are giving away.

What I like about Sharon Osbourne is that she's the kindest judge when she has to say to any contestant who had a awful performance that simply It was terrible!!!!!!!. I hope that she never changes, Piers is mean enough . And when she has to congratulate to someone I feel that she does it very sincerely. I would like to meet her in person some day. I love you sharon. I'd really love if you could read this.

I agree, Sharon is too nice. No matter how bad an act is, the worst Sharon will say is that it's "not ready" or "not appropriate." She'll never tell someone that they don't have talent.

What's worse, Sharon appears to be looking less for good acts and more for bizarre novelty acts. I can already see her pattern of poor judgment repeating; she gave the Tina Turner impersonator the exact same lines she gave Boy Shakira. When it comes time to make cuts, Sharon is the one that will give the ax to someone that could potentially win so that a complete waste-of-time novelty act can have the stage.

Right now, I would say Sharon is the 2nd best judge AGT has ever had. Of course, that's not saying much since she's ranking higher in my personal opinion over David Hasslehoff (who is terrified of the audience booing him for negative comments and is too infatuated with himself to ever say anything useful) and Brandy (who I honestly believe was out to turn AGT into a showcase for little black child divas just like herself). So despite her being one of AGT's better judges, I still think she's doing more to hurt AGT than help it. David needs to go before Sharon, but look around for a replacement for her too if you can.

Sharon is a living doll. Im so happy to see her looking so good. I was really concerned for her last season. That Ozzie is one lucky man.

WOW Emily David!!! was awesome...unbelievable and has set the bar. But the real reason I'm writing you is to...Thank you for bringing a dream to life for me. As a boy I only listened to Ozzy and Halford and last Saturday my childhood dream was a reality. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!! I wish you and your family the best!!! we luv you!!! Duane and Cindy

Sharon, tonight I hope you'll get a good chance to see tonight's myspace auditions. Will the judges see them tonight?

Sharon,

I think you are one of THE most beautiful women on earth! If you ever leave Ozzy (Heaven Forbid!)
Will you marry me? I love you Lady!

i LOVE sharon!

WHY would ya try Pepsi??? when ya can get the real thing???


You have it in the bag Emily

Sharon, just heard about Minnie. I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug. Know that I love you and I am thinking of you. My your heart and soul be comforted in your loss of your beloved pet Minnie Osbourne.

The thing about Sharon is she seems to judge more on political correctness than with how much talent a contestant has and to me that's not the way to judge for a competition such as this.

i love sharon as a judge!! by far the best!
shes an absolutely amazing person too! lovee that girlyy lotss

One refreshing thing about "America's Got Talent" is Sharon Osborne. She is just so radiant and so very humble. When she talks you can tell its coming from her heart. Thank you Sharon for just shining so and touching so many lives. God Bless all!!
