In the early stages, it sometimes seems like it should be called, America’s Got Talent? But once you weed out the amateurs, the competition actually gets interesting.
Right now we’re at the stage where we don’t recognize people by their names yet. Instead, they’re “the magician” and “the dancers with the freakishly strong chick” and “the guy with the David Hasslehoff song.”
Of all the acts vying for attention this year, I’m watching five in particular. And by watching, I of course mean desperately voting for on my cell and home line to the point of making it a clinical illness. They are, in no particular order:
Acrodunk.
If you’ve ever seen anything more fun than this basketball acrobatic act, I’m going to call you a liar.
Grandma Lee.
This fantastic broad puts the rapping grandma to shame. Funny, sassy, and sharper than people 20 years her junior, she gives seniors everywhere a reason to dream.
Mia Boostrom.
Everyone loves a good underdog story. We’re also suckers for a comeback tale. Combine the two and you’ve got last year’s reject, Mia Boostrom. Go Mia!
Tony and Rory.
Technically it’s just Tony, but Rory is the whole act. That dog can FLY. Who wouldn’t want to see a flying dog?
Marcus Terrell
Okay, so yeah, I cried when his backup singers/BFFs asked the judges to take him if they removed their inferior vocal talents from the equation. Now the question is – were his pipes worth it?
I’ll be sad in real life if any of the above 5 get knocked out before the semifinals. I’ve got a bad feeling about Tony and Rory, too. Fly on, Rory; fly on.
