AGT 2010: Finale Night Shocker! Michael Grimm Pulls Out the Win
The America's Got Talent 2010 finale night was a bit shocking, and of course, overly dramatic and drawn out. In the end there could only be one winner, and that turned out to be Mississippi singer Michael Grimm. I was more than a little surprised. The singing phenom Jackie Evancho had to settle for second place. Both will be stars, I'm sure.
The fluff filling for the two hour show included a final performance from each of the final four contestants with their idol. The acts didn't seem to get the memo on that part though, as all were excited to find out who their idols were.
Prince Poppycock was paired up with Donna Summer. I can see that. It was a good performance from Poppycock and may have won him the contest had he done it last night. Summers looked beautiful, but seemed a little uncomfortable. She had warned Prince Poppycock not to upstage her, maybe she felt he did.

AGT 2010: Top 10 Perform Live (Judge's Comments and Recap)
Jackie Evancho Live on AGT 2010 Top 10
With no judges choice left in the season, America now controls who wins America’s Got Talent. The judges were allowed to interact with the performers and we saw the clips in the opening. It was fun watching them finally get to tell each act what they really liked. For some reason Enrique Iglasias stopped by to lip sync his old song “I Like It”.
Getting on with the AGT 2010 competition and judges comments, here’s how it went tonight:
1. Studio One Young Beast Society - adult dance group
These dancers have been my favorite in the category since the beginning auditions. They did a great number for the opening live act. I think I liked the routine last week better though. Just my taste, this one was just as powerful with new moves.
Howie Mandel: “...absolutely phenomenal, you nailed it... I can honestly say, you are the best group so far tonight!”
Sharon Osbourne: “...as usual your passion, your ambition shows in your dance...you’ve really pushed yourselves...”
Piers Morgan: “...every time we see you it’s always bigger... you took a risk and it paid off big time...”
2. Christina & Ali - young singers
I don’t think Christina & Ali will win AGT... not even close. I’m not sure they should be in the top ten, but they aren’t bad. I think Piers is wrong, they were likely voted in due to their Cystic Fybrosis. Tonight was a more upbeat song, it did not help. I think this was the worst showing for the sisters. It seemed shout-y.
Howie Mandel: “... I also love you... you make us smile... the scary part for me is you have to compete against people
Sharon Osbourne: “I have to say, Christina your voice, I mean goodness me.. those notes... I love to see you moving...”
Piers Morgan: “I think you two have blossomed into entertainers... you’re not the most technically correct singers... you bring it with happiness...”

AGT 2010: Jackie Evancho & Fighting Gravity Glide to the Finals
This week the competition was the highest it's been on America's Got Talent. With a stacked night there were no sure things. Well, maybe one. We'll get to her in a little bit. Nick Cannon got the show started by calling out the first group.
Debra Romer, Michael Grasso, Murray and Nate Kenyon took the stage. My heart sank knowing if even one of these acts went through, one of my favorites would go home. If I had to choose a winning act from these four, it would be Murray hands down. Grasso repeated a trick Murray did earlier, but without a live tiger. Michael Grasso pulled out the win, but likely more due to his sad story. In his intro he told of being a triple kidney transplant survivor. The story wins.
LaReve took the stage for an outstanding performance. Note to all future dance and acrobat groups on AGT: this is what works in Vegas, nothing less. The display of strength was something to behold. Howie Mandel seemed to find a bond with the group of shaved heads saying, "LaReve is French for strong, bald Jew."

AGT 2010: Judges' Comments for Week 2 of Live Semifinals
Tonight was the second week for live semifinalists on AGT 2010. Here is how the night went down and what the judges had to say about each act.
1. Alice Tan Riddley - Adult Singer
Tonight Alice Tan Ridley sang “I Have Nothing” with all the heart and soul of the best R&B singers wrapped up together. The audience stood for Alice, and I cheered at home. She gives me goosebumps.
Howie Mandel: “...you have touched the heart of a lot of people... I think that says it all...”
Sharon Osbourne: “...it’s been so long since I’ve heard that song sung that way...from one 57
year old to another, you look fabulous...”
Piers Morgan: “...for a first up tonight, incredibly strong performance...”
2. Haspop - Adult Dancer
I think this is the most talented dancer ever on AGT. Haspop’s moves are so big and exaggerated he can easily be seen and takes advantage of the stage. It was a weird dance tonight, but he still has pop (it had to be done). Piers Morgan buzzed him, huhph!
Howie Mandel: “...I disagree, I think it’s amazing... the ability to add story and mime at this level is great... people gotta vote...”
Sharon Osbourne: “...I just didn’t get it... I hope America votes for you...”
Piers Morgan: “...I didn’t really get it tonight... it was all a bit weird for me.. I might be the stupid one here, but I don’t think so...”

AGT 2010: First Night of Live Semifinals
Tonight is the first night for live semifinals on AGT 2010. Here is how the show went down and what the judges had to say.
1. Anna & Patryk: young dancers
Piers favorite mini dance couple said tonight we wouold see an angry Anna & Patryk. "To make myself angry, I think of Howie Mandel" said Patryk before the act. I am assuming it was supposed to be a Paso Doble from the anger comment. It was good, as usual, but I still think it's odd in that kid-beauty-pagaent way.
Howie Mandel: "...I'm glad I can inspire you , and I apologize if I have said mean things to you... and tonight you didn't creep me out.... there was no inappropriate touching... I think America will vote you through..."
Sharon Osbourne: "...perfection as usual... it was just fantastic..."
Piers Morgan: "...you two just behaved like stars... this is the serious business end of the show...you two are the most talented dancers this season bar none."
2.Christina & Ali: young singers
These are the singing sisters with cystic fybrosis. It's amazing they can sing at all with a lung disease. They have beautiful voices. Their harmonies were a little strained tonight at the beginning. I don't know if it was good enough for the finals of AGT.

AGT 2010: Wildcard Results Show
Tonight was the last quarterfinal results show for America's Got Talent, sending four wildcard acts into the semifinals. Criss Angel performed his magic ... and Leann Rimes appeared on the stage (in an unrelated incident).
The judges' favorite acts were brought to the AGT stage to find out their fates in four groups, as usual. The first group called by Nick Cannon was: Kruti Dance Academy, Michael Grasso, Swingshift Side Show and Rudi Macaggi. I felt bad for Rudi Macaggi, but Michael Grasso was the clear winner of this group. After the obligatory camera pan, Nick Cannon pronounced him the newest semifinalist.
Criss Angel did an impressive act; escaping from a straightjacket while hanging upside down by the ankles... in under a minute. Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan provided comic relief as they strapped Angel into the jacket, with Piers giving him particularly hard yanks. "Did I do something to you earlier?" Criss Angel asked Morgan with a grin.

AGT 2010: Jackie Evancho's First Performance on Live TV
Watch young Jackie Evancho steal the judges (and audiences) hearts on her first visit to America's Got Talent 2010. This 10 year old had the moment of the season so far. Jackie Evancho was the top vote-getter on YouTube for the AGT auditions. America knows talent!
So what do you think? Do we have a new leader on AGT 2010?

AGT 2010: Season Favorites Compete for a Second Chance
Howie was tweeting during the opening of the live show. Nick Cannon had to pull him away from his phone to start the show. Tonight was the final round of quarter finalists on AGT 2010. The judges brought back their favorites. Here is a run down on the night’s live events.
1. Kruti Dance Academy - dance group
The Bollywood group is back. I like this style of dance and can see it being a hit as a Vegas show. This group may deserve a shot at the semifinals. It was not a wow performance though. This was Piers Morgan's choice to bring back.
Howie Mandel: " ...I agree and disagree... is what you do "wowo"...I don't know that you rise to the level of this show now..."
Sharon Osbourne: "as a halfwit... I think now that America has become used to the Indian character...you could have the Kruti dance in like the river dance..."
Piers Morgan: "...well I think my decision has been completely vindicated [to bring them back], I didn't want to lose you in Vegas, I lost out to these two halfwits...as America has seen you have talent..."

AGT 2010: Jackie Evancho, Dan Sperry & Maestro Alexander Bui Advance
After reading many of the reviews of last night's America's Got Talent YouTube contestants, I think we may have been a little harsh. Myself included. I forgot these people have never been in front of a major audience, let alone on live TV with judges. That being said, the rules are what they are and they play no favorites. So four more acts were advanced to the 2010 AGT semifinal rounds.
Nick Cannon called out the first group of YouTube contestants: Pup, Pizza Patt, Maestro Alexander Bui and Austin Anderson. Cannon asked Sharon Osbourne who she thought America voted for. "Oh, I just don't know!" said Osbourne. Seriously? How stupid does Sharon Osbourne think the American public, even those that watch and vote on talent shows, really is?

America's Got Talent 2010: Quarterfinals for YouTube Talent
The 5th week of quarterfinal competition on AGT 2010 ended tonight with the YouTube contestants taking the stage. Here are the 12 acts and the judges comment.
1. Plutonic - singing group
Great voices in this acapella group, and I must say I did not expect the rap from this group of geeky white dudes. They did it justice...except I could understand the words (first time for a rap song for me). Piers oughta like that he can understand the words too.
Howie Mandel: "... regardless of whether you like acapella or not, you are talented... I think people would go see something like this... and I think the name is perfectly fitting because I think those are the type of relationships you will have with the ladies."
Sharon Osbourne: "...your performance was really good guys... however I hate acapella groups..."
Piers Morgan: "...you are indisputably geeks... you are incredibly cheesy... but I liked it"
2. Dylan Plummer - acrobatic jump roper
Dylan Plummer can jump rope! It was a cool act and a different one. He might have missed a couple of jumps but it was fun to watch.
Howie Mandel: "... you had a couple of misses there didn't you ...you need tome to perfect it..."
Sharon Osbourne: "... very quick feet you've got... the transition is great.. you did very well..."
Piers Morgan: "...I was pretty surprised... I was waiting for you to make mistakes so I could buzz you and you didn't..."

AGT 2010: Arcattack and Prince Poppycock Go to the Semifinals
The 4th week of quarterfinal competitions ended last night on America's Got Talent. Tonight the results were revealed live and four more acts joined the group of semi finalists. Last night was the closest night of competition and one act in particular was left on AGT.
Nick Cannon called out the first group of AGT acts: Doogie Horner, Mary Ellen and Murray. I was a little worried that somehow a joke would be played on us and Mary Ellen would be allowed to continue. Thankfully, mercifully, the magic of Murray and his tiger were enough to boot Mary Ellen from our lives.
Taio Cruz entertained the crowd with his hit single "Dynamite" from his album Rock Star.
Taylor Mathews, Da Maniacs and Lindsey Stirling all came out as the second group to learn their fate. This was a pretty easy call after last night's performances. I was glad to see Taylor Mathews up against the other two act. Taylor Mathews was pronounced the second act moving on in AGT 2010.

AGT 2010: 4th Week of Live Quarterfinals
This is the 4th week of live quarterfinal competition on America's Got Talent. Only four act will move on to the semifinal round. This seemed like the toughest night for AGT contestants, as far as competition and the talent level.
1. Da Maniacs: dance crew
I was prepared to hate this group of misfits on the dance floor. I must admit I had fun watching. They were not a train wreck and in fact, they were pretty good dancers. There was one small wardrobe malfunction, but it did not slow the groups performance. Neither did the buzzer from Piers Morgan.
Howie Mandel: "...it's a lot of fun, but... are you the guys from last week?..."
Sharon Osbourne: "...we are not true professional dancers, but you are entertaining..."
Piers Morgan: "... I do like you, you are very entertaining in a strange manner... there's already a competition show for you, it's called "The Biggest Loser"..."
2. Nu Covenant - singing group
Singing "Too Late to Apologize" something was just really bad with the harmonies tonight. They were completely off. Both Sharon and Piers buzzed the group. It was really not good.
Howie Mandel: "... this is live television..the weight of that showed...you were flat"
Sharon Osbourne: "... you look incredible...the harmonies weren't happening tonight, that's why I buzzed you..."
Piers Morgan: "...you were flat as a pancake for most of it...pop songs are just not your thing...wrong song choice... I like you."

AGT 2010: 3rd Live Quarter Final Results Show
Nick Cannon started off the night on America's Got Talent asking Howie Mandel about his comments on the 'wow factor' last night. In fact, he called him "Howie Wowie" after the judge repeatedly chastized acts for not having a wow moment. Howie explained to Nick that "wow means wow, if there were another word for it I would use it."
Piers Morgan jumped in to throw a few bashes Howie's way calling him "Howie Halfwit" after the comedian's choices thus far in the comedy category. This is well deserved, I think, since the comedy acts have been atrocious this year on AGT.
Howie Mandel battled back saying that Piers Morgan is doing the PR circuits and "besmirching his name". Howie went on to refer to Morgan as a "besmirch-er" when they later were confronting Chipps Cooney, the source of the trouble last night.
The live results finally got started as Nick Cannon called the first three acts to the stage: South Philly Vikings, CJ Dippa and Haspop. I got a fleeting sick feeling that young rapper CJ Dippa might beat out the amazing dance of Haspop. Luckily America got it right and voted to send Haspop on to the AGT 2010 semi finals. I was a little shocked to see CJ Dippa leave so early. I thought he would be a possible judges pick tonight.
Dance crew and former AGT contestants, Jabberwocky, took over the stage next. There is a reason these guys are now headlining a show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Jabberwocky reach out and grab the audience from the costumes, complete with white masks, to some of the best hip hop ever.

AGT 2010: Week 3 of Quarter Finals Live Performances & Judges Comments
1. South Philly Vikings: dance group
they looked good in costume, but there was not much substance their dance. Just a lot of walking around. Piers Morgan used his first 'X'.
Piers Morgan: "...it's just overgrown children in robot costumes... I just see a bunch of people who don't sing and don't dance very well..."
Sharon Osbourne: "...I would like to apologize for my English friend.." , to which Piers Morgan corrected her that he is Irish, not English. "...all of you blue collar guys that have no training... I think it's really good entertainment."
Howie Mandel: "... I don't know what category it is... it's amazing what you can do with tin foil and holiday lights... it's like a craft project on steroids..."
2. CJ Dippa: Rapper
CJ is talented at the young age of eleven (or one one, as he told Piers last time). He can rap and he writes his own rhymes. You have to like rap though. He has a big attitude for a little kid. It might help him, it might not. Oh, he can dance better than Bieber too.
Piers Morgan: "... this is my world... on the negative side I couldn't understand a single word you were saying, on the positive side I can't understand any rapper..."
Sharon Osbourne: "... it's brilliant... I didn't realize what good dancer you are..."
Howie Mandel: "...that's whats impressive...the fact that you bring your own original beats..."
3. Harmonica Pierre: harmonica player
This guy is probably the best harmonica player I've ever heard. He went from a classical opening to a version of "Hey Soul Sister", pretty bold since Train was just on the show last week. A good performance tonight, but I'm not sure he deserves a main show spot.
Piers Morgan: "... I know where Howie's coming from... what is indisputable about you is you ...are one of the best harmonica players I've ever seen."
Sharon Osbourne: "... I love what you did ... I love the way you mixed around your material tonight..."
Howie Mandel: "... I think you did fantastically... you are truly and expert and truly a talent... I'm not sure about the harmonica... like the music at my doctor's office..." true.

Howie Mandel: "... I think you did fantastically... you are truly and expert and truly a talent... I'm not sure about the harmonica... like the music at my doctor's office..." true.

AGT 2010: Michael Grimm, Alice Tan Ridley, Ascendance & Antonio Restivo Coast to the Semi Finals
Cirque Du Soleil & Train Perform on Live Elimination Night
Wednesday night is time to find out who moved on to the semi finals on America's Got Talent. We were also treated to a performance by Cirque du Soleil, always entertaining. The band Train hit the AGT stage later with their hit "Hey Soul Sister".
The first acts called out were: Ascendance (rock wall dancers), Mona Sampath Dance Co. (Bollywood dance group) and Ronith (comedian?). Thankfully we will no longer have to guess as to what the talent is that Howie Mandel sees in Ronith. Ascendance was the first act voted into the AGT 2010 semi finals tonight.
Alice Tan Ridley (singer), Iron Horse (band) and Cheer SF (cheerleading squad) were called out for the next group. The obvious crowd and AGT judge favorite was Alice Tan Ridley and in this group she was the easy choice. America followed suit and voted a thankful Ridley through.

AGT 2010: Second Week of Quarter Finals Live
Tonight was a tough night for America's Got Talent. It started slowly, lagged in the middle and there was little or no bang at the end. There were a few talented acts, but Piers Morgan used his 'X' button nearly as much as during auditions. NBC must be really cutting budgets this year to need to fill up this many weeks with AGT acts.
At least we did not have to wait long for Alice Tan Ridley. The mother of Academy Award nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe ("Precious"), took the stage looking absolutely stunning. She sang "Midnight Train to Georgia" with the feeling of Gladys Knight and all three Pips, earning herself a standing ovation from all three judges. Ridley has been singing in the subways to earn money to support her family, and now says it's time to come out "into the sunlight". Welcome to the warmth Alice.

AGT 2010 Quarter Finals Act 1: Cheer SF
A multi-age cheer group doing exactly what you would expect. Not much new here.
Piers Morgan: "... it was all a bit sophamoric"
Sharon Osbourne: "...I loved your enthusiasm... I thought it should be more sophisticated..."
Howie Mandel: "... it wasn't as technically amazing as some [of the other acts]... I like the fact that you have all ages..."
