After watching only the first episode of this season, I already think the guy who sang the Sarah Maclaughlin song is going to be the winner this year. That "light-up" group was cool, too. Amazing technology! Darn those Stanley Cup Finals for preventing us from watching/DVR'ing tonight's episode!

I've thought for the last couple of years that some of the more compelling-yet-limited acts like that should BAND TOGETHER and create their own Vegas show and call it "The Best of AGT" or something like that. You couldn't watch a guy belly flop for 90 minutes, but you could watch him AND THEN the bike stunt guys AND THEN the knife throwers... you get the idea.

Dabob, if this isn't already being done, I think you're on to something... Why not take the top ten (or eight or whatever) acts and make them the resident performers of a one-year "America's Got Talent!" stage show rotation in Vegas? Kind of like the Idol's summer tour. Except this one would have more variety. And an overall higher level of talent. And it wouldn't tour -- people would come to IT.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

They can try to stay in Vegas, go elsewhere, whatever. I just remember wondering last year if some of the acts that got to the top 10 or top 20, say, might think to hook up and get a steady gig together that they couldn't get on their own specifically because some of them really couldn't do a 90 minute show by themselves; but as part of a variety show it would be very entertaining.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I agree mostly about not having so many dang singers on the show.

She was awesome & would never have a shot on something like Idol because of the type of music she sings.
