The reason there seems to be so many singing acts is 1. no X-Factor in the USA 2. no more American Idol and 3. the presense of Simon Cowell. There is still The Voice, a show that I've been watching closely earlier this year.But how many singing acts will be in the live shows? No more than 12, I hope.

So I am hoping some variety acts will get the spotlight in the Judge Cuts. I think acts like Silla Sveta (similar to Freckled Sky and Freelusion not Siro-A you dolts) could pull a surprise. There are four potential magician contenders: Steven Brundage, Jon Dorenbos, Hara, The Clairvoyants. As for comedians: D.J. Demers,Julia Scotti, Richard Beard, perhaps some of the montaged guys like Adam Grabowski. Acrobatics: Amazing Sladek, Duo Guerrero, Vello, Sofie Dossi, ThroWings. Dancers... I dunno. Other variety acts I would like to see again: Tape Face, Team Malevo, Viktor Kee, Christopher, Dan Meyer, maybe that Ginger the Dog. and so on...

So that's what I am looking forward to. I am more likely to quit discussing this show with you guys if it becames some overly negative circlejerk than a fun discussion. I keep watching AGT as long as I have favorite acts that make it to the end.
