It’s the final episode of the auditions and we get a grab bag of cities as we get the best of the rest.  Here’s a rundown of all of the performers who made it to Las Vegas.
Acts who advanced to Las Vegas:
The Belly Dancing Duo, Ages 32 & 36 – Belly Dancers
Kaya and Sadie come out in their [...]

Last week, Cristina Santana was sent home, despite having a great performance with Pasha on performance night. We got a guest performance by Brian Gaynor on the Results show, and several dancers were challenged with the fact that they need to perform better if they want to stay. Tonight we open with one of those [...]

It’s episode 9 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) has moved on to the city of Chicago.  Last week’s Portland episodes generated a lot of interest here at HowWeJudgeIt.com so let’s see if we can keep it rolling.  People have travelled from all over the Midwest, and as far as Puerto Rico (wouldn’t [...]

Previously on ‘The Next Food Network Star‘ we saw our first three competitors go home, and weren’t very surprised. Dizzy D, Doreen and Alexis seemed to be the worst chefs in the first episode and none of them truly stepped forward to distinguish themselves… at least not in a good way. Meanwhile Paul, the chef [...]

Last night , the top 10 hit our stage in a variety of styles. Billy Bell and Jose Ruiz got dealt styles they were completely unfamiliar with, while Ashley Galvan and Cristina Santana randomly selected styles that were a little closer to home.
Performances
The Top 10 open the show with a contemporary number choreographer by Sonya [...]

It’s episode 8 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) is still in the city of weird, Portland, Oregon.  None of the rejects were really that memorable so here’s a look at the contestants who made it to Las Vegas.
Acts who advanced to Las Vegas:
The Hot Shot Tap Dancers, Ages 19-25 – Tap Dancers
This group of 4 members [...]

Last week we lost Alexie Agdepa, as our Top 10 turned into a Top 11. The contemporary dancer turned in a Hip-Hop performance that was only ‘ok’ by the judges standards, and didn’t do much more than ‘Dance Cute’. While the audience might vote for cute they didn’t vote for Alexie, and after a somewhat [...]

It’s episode 7 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) visits Portland, Oregon.  The producers play up Portland’s reputation for “Weird” and the contestants certainly live up to that reputation.  I think my favorite rejects this episode were Tiny Talent, who’s dogs were not trained at all and just ran around the stage, and [...]

It’s episode 6 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) has another day in Orlando.  Are any of tonight’s acts contenders for the title?  Of the rejects, the most memorable were Efim Tabachnikov, a 73 year old Russian immigrant amatuer opera singer who couldn’t figure out if he had been rejected or not (he [...]

Previously on ‘The Next Food Network Star‘ we saw two competitors go home, Alexis Hernandez failed at cooking the food and at being a star, while Doreen Fang didn’t improve between the two episodes and might have gotten a little worse. On the other hand we have Dizzy D (Dzintra Denis) who didn’t get to [...]

The Results show opens with the Top 11 Dancing to ‘Acapella’ by Kelis. It’s a nice enough high energy routine that runs longer than the group numbers usually do, with each of the Top 11 getting a chance to dance in the spotlight. There will be a lot packed into this results show, with multiple [...]

It’s night 5 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) has moved on to Orlando.  The producers throw us for a loop by giving us essentially 2 half-hour shows.  One half-hour of rejects and one half- hour of successful contestants.  I was a little worried there that I wouldn’t have anything to write about.  [...]
