Ooh a thread about me. I am so honoured.

Anyways, I dislike Sara and Zero because IMO, I feel that this act is not Vegas material. Now do not misintrepret me, this act is far from terrible and a couple of times it can be good, but I only really see it as "good". "Good" IMO is not enough to make the AGT finals. Sara and Zero is an act that I more see touring around at children's birthday parties, and not something that I would pay $80 a ticket and sit down for an hour and a half to see. I would get bored 10 minutes in. I would pay to see Darci, I would pay to see Preacher, I would pay to see Light Balance, I would pay to see Diavolo. When you are in the finals of America's Got Talent, you need to be worthy of it, and IMO Sara and Zero are not worthy of it.

I made a formal apology for my actions the day after, but I will say it again, you guys are correct and I acted hastily and extremely harshly with them making the finals. My Mom even said to me after the results show where I was visibly irate not to say mean things about the act on the forum... but I did not listen. I have had a history of being like that, especially with acts I dislike. I take things are too seriously at times and I hate that about myself and wish every day that I could improve. It's also out of character for me because I hate swearing.

It's also a mixture of how Simon put the very fact that he "loves dogs" over talent every time they perform. Now don't get me wrong, I love dogs too. I love animals too. But the way the judges are "acting" when Sara and Zero perform, it's almost like you could have a cute dog just stand perfectly in place like Oskar and Gaspar did and they will go through because "they are cute". IMO, they are putting cuteness over talent, which is a horrible thing. If everyone who is "cute" could advance that easily, then the Top 10 would be filled to the brim with "cute" acts. It's almost like the judges are being prompted by the producers/higher-ups at NBC to act like this with Sara and Zero for some reason. I mean that is probably what they do already, but it seems even more obvious in this case. They should always be honest first and foremost. That is the job of a judge, to judge, not to be a stupid yes-man all the time.

Simon also probably has the hots for Sara Carson in a similar vein to how Piers had the hots for Debra Romer and that was the only reason she made it as far as she did despite being just a decent singer.

Now I do like the fact that Sara is a fellow Canuck like myself and she is probably a very nice, sweet girl if I actually met her and her dogs Marvel, Loki and Hero (could she be a Marvel fan based on the names of the dogs? That's also another thing to like about her) are probably really cute, really well-trained dogs, but I, like Piers Morgan before me, am honest. Also like Piers, however, I do take it too far like I did that one time that I will no longer name because I am profoundly embarrassed by it. Again, I am sorry.

I am just saying that if I was on the judging panel, Sara and Hero would probably make the Top 36 and that's it if I was generous. Sara and Hero are not Big Barry levels of awful or buzzer-worthy by any stretch, I just feel that the 9 other members of the finals are far more deserving of shows in Las Vegas than she and her dogs are.

Plus I am just kinda sick of dog acts. Classify it as a "I do not understand it" kind of thing. Yes they are cute, but you need to do a whole hell of a lot to really make me a fan. Olate Dogs were fine, but they definitely did not deserve to win over Tom Cotter or William Close or David Garibaldi IMO. Jules and Matisse were okay but I think Jamie Raven and Old Men Grooving amongst others were btter that one season.

So please try to forgive me for that incident and try to understand that I think Sara and Hero is the weakest act to make the AGT finals since Gary Vider.
