Hi,

I'd like to request Burecraut rights on this wiki. I promise not to abuse my power, it's just that I want to make this wiki better. I already see many things that can be done.

Admin Vs. Bureaucrat
There, as far as I know, is that you can not remove Bureaucrat rights but Admin you can and that Bureaucrats can promote users. If I can't edit something, I'll let you know. (But I shouldn't have any problems ;) )

Spotlight Request
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape. There are a handful of uncategorized pages; could you sort those out? Also, the main page could use a little bit of sprucing up, and would need at the least a picture added to it to meet the spotlight criteria. Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:39, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
I am the founder of America's Got Talent Wiki, I just started this wiki just before I realized that this wiki is already here. So I thought of asking you if we can merge my wiki with this one, so that we can all work together on this project and make America's Got Talent Wiki a great wiki with alot of contributers. Thanks in advance.MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 01:00, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Merging
Actually, merging is just when two wikis merge their articles. So as in this case, you would merge all their articles with yours, and then the founder of the other wiki will contact support to close their wiki. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Head <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">of <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Ravenclaw  | <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Message ME!!! </i> 15:31, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that is correct. But since there isn't any articles on my wiki, we can just redirect that domain or sub-domain to here. And I really suggest making americasgottalent.wikia.com domain name be the official domain name for this wiki. Because wiki's domain names always the official name of the subject it is on not what they are known as. For example Harry Potter is also known as HP, the domain name is harrypotter.wikia.com not hp.wikia.com. But the wiki can be named the hp wiki. Now if you agree, then all we just need to do is contact one of wikia's staff and he will help.MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 19:23, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Request #2
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:03, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Many of Walt Winston's fans believe he should be added as a Season 7 Act since he did perform in St. Louis and many of his local fans saw his performance in person. Sadly, his performance did not air. Last Season's performance was a dis-service to him as this year he did much much better and should have aired. I was at the performance in St. Louis and he played very well.

Sorry I've been inactive, but since I'm not too good at writing articles I haven't been able to help out much. If there's something I can do let me know.

 * It's okay. Without you, the wiki wouldn't look nearly as great as it looks now! To be honest, there isn't much to help with at the moment. Season 7 so far is complete, and Season 5 information is nearly complete. I'll contact you if there's something you can do. :) Erik10101 20:18, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Other seasons
Hi, I'm wondering if seasons 1 - 4 will be added to this wikia as well at one point? Because unlike seasons 5, 6, and 7, they aren't completely up on Youtube.

Audition All-Stars
Hi, another question, since there's a Season 5 Guest Performers category now, would there be a point in adding an Audition All-Stars category or something for the acts that returned to take part in the finales?

Episode Tonight
The episode tonight was probably the best single episode in performances ever. I liked 8 of the 12. -- Webkinz Mania 02:13, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

New Pages
Alright. I just figured I'd add them quickly since they weren't up yet.

Also, are the audition images I'm inserting acceptable? Because I've noticed a few times that some of them were replaced.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:01, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Do you take the entire screencaps when the video is in full screen? I usually don't, which is why I cut the still of the video out. But if that's how you do it then sure I will too. JayDK103 (talk) 01:51, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the notice, and I'll go ahead and replace the last few I took. If you can, let me know if they're better. Thanks JayDK103 (talk) 02:03, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Drag Acts
Hi,

I have a question regarding drag acts. Should we refer to them as males or females? Such as Dorae Saunders who I was currently working on, for example.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:45, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Erik10101,

You've got one of the act names wrong. On YouTube they changed "Bones & the Machine" to "Bones the Machine and djaaron". Just wanted to let you know.

˜˜˜˜

New Categories
Sure, I think it's a good idea. I believe we already have a singing group category though.

For the singing duos, are we going to divide them by gender or just put all singing duos into one category?

Also, past Vegas Weeks on the show have had the kids compete in their own category. Would that work on here as well?

JayDK103 (talk) 05:42, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

For the Kid acts I was thinking about labelling those that are only kids, not a mixture of kids and adults. But then again, I agree with you. It might not be the best idea. JayDK103 (talk) 06:55, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Is there a way to mass delete the Singers category and make it disappear on all the acts' pages so we don't have to individually remove them from each page? It would be easier. JayDK103 (talk) 07:17, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. And to again bring up the Drag Acts, we're going to add them all to the Male Singers category, right?

And speaking of drag acts, Maximilliana from season 2 is indeed male, I believe? Although that in my opinion would be the hardest to tell. JayDK103 (talk)

Is it ok to add duos like Eric & Olivia and The Millers where one person sings and the other plays an instrument into the Band category? JayDK103 (talk) 07:48, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Eric & Olivia are currently listed as Singer and Instrumentalist. I guess we can keep it that way then? Add the Female Singer category and leave the Instrumentalist for Eric? If so, same can be done for Aaralyn and Izzy JayDK103 (talk) 07:54, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

76.208.144.214
The user is continually adding information to certain pages without proof despite you and I both having reversed their edits. They also never responded to the question about the unproven names they have added to last year's auditions.

JayDK103 (talk) 21:30, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Unnamed Acts
Would it be benificial to have a page or a list or something with photos of all the unnamed acts per season? That way there might be a better chance of eventually identifying them. JayDK103 (talk) 01:31, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

I think the new episode threads are a good idea. What do you think about also including the use of the buzzers per act, or would that be too much?

The Season 7 auditions page has a list of the unnamed acts, and of course in past seasons, there were a couple seen in the Vegas round that were never identified. Maybe eventually I could start listing some of them, after the two missing seasons are more complete.

Also, I've started editing some finalists' pages removing such categories like "Season 3 Winners" or "Season 3 2nd place". I don't know who originally added them but in my opinion categories like that seem pretty pointless since there's obviously only one act that can fit each of them. JayDK103 (talk) 01:42, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks.

I think it is him. I managed to find his website and he has listed himself appearing on AGT in 2007. http://mrmystic.com/tour_dates.html

So I think we got a match. Thanks!

As for other unnamed acts, sometimes I've gotten pretty lucky in finding them. For example, Octavius Womack from season 7 was never named on the show, but the song he sang was Superstar. I went to Youtube, searched for "Superstar cover", and amazingly his cover was the first result.

Hopefully we can fill in more of them eventually.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:56, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, just the Vegas page, right?

By the way, the HumanSlinky channel on Dailymotion uploaded the automatic results, in case I missed anyone. There were at least two acts I couldn't recognize straight away.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:14, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Number of Quarterfinalists
I thought I heard Nick say in the beginning that 60 acts will be moving on, and not 55.

It makes sense if, for example, they drop the YouTube round, which is what I'm assuming will happen this year.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:02, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11zdm8_talent-selection-agt-2013-vegas-week_tv

Nick says 60 at around the 3:50 mark.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:11, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Forte
Should Forte's current image be changed since it looks like one of their members was replaced?

JayDK103 (talk) 11:59, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I'm wondering who your personal favorites are from the remaining acts this season?

For me, Hype and Kenichi are two of them. Travis too if he hadn't been cut tonight. JayDK103 (talk) 04:20, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Oh I really like Sprice too. I didn't like Special Head's audition and personally thought he was overrated but in Vegas he impressed me more.

What is your general view of singers on the show?

I'm not a fan of how singers have won every season but one so far. Terry, for me, was the best winner of all time though. I'd put Kevin Skinner at the bottom of that list. JayDK103 (talk) 06:48, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Wow that's pretty funny but also pretty cool at the same time. Aaralyn and Izzy have a bunch of votes on the poll so far too. They have quite a YouTube fan base, as far as I know.

I was also gonna ask you, based on what we know of the acts so far, which four you think will move on from the first group?

I think it's a really tough one to be honest. Anna, Special Head, Hitmen, Collins, Branden, and Hype all have a good chance. But of course it may also depend on whether they manage to somehow screw up or not.

I'm personally hoping Travis comes back to the Wildcard, but if both Branden and Jonathan make the Semis then it probably won't happen.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:01, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sure. I'll go ahead and do the Quarterfinal and Ep 810 threads and you can do the act descriptions since I believe you do a better job at it, if that's okay. JayDK103 (talk) 01:17, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

So after seeing all of the performances, which four do you think are moving on?

I think Special Head is surely out of it, along with Fresh Faces and Kevin. Tellavision might have a chance, but it seems a bit dim.

I think Brendan, KriStef, and maybe Collins/Hitmen will be the top three? With the judges vote coming down to whichever of Collins/Hitmen isn't in the top three and someone like Hype, Anna, or Alexanderia. I don't know. Something like that.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:28, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Tellavision
The NBC site and their Facebook stylizes the spelling as tellAvision with the emphasis on the A. I tried changing the page name to that but the first T is automatically capitalized. I guess we'll just leave it how it is then?

JayDK103 (talk) 10:12, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Were you pleased with the results tonight?

And also, since we brought up the winners a couple days ago, how would you rank them? JayDK103 (talk) 02:55, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I really wanted to see Hitmen go through, and honestly, I'm not a big fan of Collins. Most of the tricks he's done (the predicting) were pretty much the same, weren't they?

Here's how I'd rank the winners:

1. Terry

2. Landau

3. Olate Dogs

4. Michael

5. Bianca

6. Neal

7. Kevin

Season six was the first season I watched live and was rooting for Landau and iLuminate the entire time.

Regarding next week, here's what I think:

Alexandr - Out

Angela - In

Aquanuts - ?

Brad - Out

Ciana - ?

Dave S - ?

Forte - In

Innovative Force - Out

Kid the Wiz - Out

Marty - In

Struck Boyz - Out

Tone - Out

Dave S seemed pretty unique in his audition so we'll have to see what he does next. Same with Aquanuts. There was a group similar to them on Britain's Got Talent last year and they made it to the finals. So it depends on what they'll do.

I think Marty and Forte are already definite ins though.

What about your thoughts?

JayDK103 (talk) 03:07, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Screwed-up formatting
Hey. I just edited the Connor Doran page, and something... weird happened to the formatting afterwards. All of the text got pushed to the right of the videos, which are lined up in a row on the left side of the page. Do you know how to fix this?Aura Master Fox (talk) 04:29, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Danger acts like Brad don't do well on the show.

To be honest, I think most of the people that vote on AGT might be female, and in my opinion danger acts may generally be more directed at a male audience. Bringing up Collins again, I think his looks might have played a part in him being so successful so far, which could also bring that point along. But, I don't know.

By the way, would there be any point in using the NBC America's Got Talent photos (http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/contestants/) on the Wiki?

JayDK103 (talk) 08:17, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but the video listed Struck Boyz third, didn't it? When in reality now we see it as being Alex. JayDK103 (talk) 01:27, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, you're right. Sorry, my mistake. JayDK103 (talk) 01:31, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

So after tonight, which four do you think are moving on?

I actually didn't pay full attention to the episode. I was multitasking so I can't give my concrete opinions yet. But I did catch some of what happened, such as Marty Brown letting the judges down. So I don't think he be moving on tomorrow.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:01, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I think Angela might be moving on. I watched her performance and I pegged her as one of the top even before tonight.

Aren't Aquanuts also somewhere in the top?

And could Tone really move on? I think he'll just keep performing the same track, so the others should get a shot over him in my opinion.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:49, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

So this week's results have been revealed, and Marty was in the top 3, which personally, I think is one of the worst results ever. Even the judges agreed that the two he was up against (Alex and Ciana) did much better last night. So that was really, really disappointing.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:16, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Ciana was robbed. She could actually sing well, unlike Marty last night. Just terrible result all around.

At least Forte and Angela made it.

To be completely honest, after tonight I may have lost interest in the rest of the season.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:29, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Do you think it's possible that Marty (or Jimmy) could win the entire thing?

Other similar reality shows have shown how much support country singers get, and last week proved that they don't even have to have a good performance to move on...

As good as next week looks, I don't have high hopes for most of them in the long run.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:48, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

My early Top 4 guesses for next week are Jonathan, Kenichi, Deanna, and either Brandon & Savannah or Jim.

Who would you bring back to the Wildcard from the first two quarterfinals so far?

I've taken quite a liking to Hitmen and Ciana. Ciana especially deserves to get through to the semis after losing out to Marty last week... She was in no question better than him. She deserves the chance. Alex too.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:20, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

I think that if Jonathan makes it next week, and Jimmy the week he's on, then Milton and Travis might not come back since there are already enough country and opera singers in the semifinals.

As for the Top 4 in the entire season, I have no clue. I seriously hope Marty is nowhere near there but I can't be certain...

In my perfect world, it would be Kenichi, Forte, Travis if he comes back, and I don't know who my fourth would be. As good as Branden was, Forte's better.

Since we brought up the Voice and X Factor, you watch those too, right? Any other reality shows?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:14, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for not being around today. I haven't watched the episode.

But what do you think will happen on tomorrow's show? Could any of these acts possibly go on and win?

JayDK103 (talk) 05:33, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Could they really outlast the solo male singers like Jimmy and Marty though? Because we've seen how successful they've been in the past. Michael's beaten acts like Fighting Gravity, Landau's beaten Silhouettes and iLuminate, etc.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:46, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I hope so too, but to my memory there were no country singers in last year's live shows, yet this season has two. Like I brought up before, country singers have been known to win a lot on other shows.

JayDK103 (talk) 06:02, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

So who are your predictions for the next two weeks, now that we have them both lined up?

And also, I know I brought up the idea of including buzzers for the auditions in those new episode pages you've been creating, but how about creating an extra column for the use of the buzzers? Like have the act name, image, act description, buzzer use, and the votes?

JayDK103 (talk) 07:52, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Erik. On Season 8 Rejected Acts, you forgot one. The one after Miu, in Episode 801. The Man Who Had to Use all his muscles in his body. He did something called the "Animal".

Just so you Know ERic, I have been Editing Some Things, if thats O.K with you? I just Edited 3. If you want to Restore, that's fine by me.

So are you still having any good hopes for this season?

It seems that even when the judges basically plead to the audience to not vote based on story, they do anyway.

I've been pretty outspoken on other sites about my dislike for the result so far.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:01, August 17, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not as confident, to be honest. I could hope so, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. If Kenichi wins, then it will completely turn my opinion on this season around.

Are you following any of these acts on Facebook or Twitter, by the way? I've liked Ciana, Alex, Forte, Kenichi, and a couple others on FB.

Also, have you ever watched Britain's Got Talent? I was kind of wondering about the idea of maybe incorporating some international versions (well English speaking ones anyway, like Britain's Got Talent and Australia's Got Talent) into this Wiki, or starting another one for those shows. I've managed to watch every British version in my time. Their winners are a lot more varied.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:21, August 17, 2013 (UTC)

The winners of BGT were, in order, an opera singer, a solo dancer, a dance group, an acrobatic group, a singer, dog act, and shadow dance group. The shadow dance group weren't even from the UK, which, for me, is another plus.

For me, the BGT voters are a lot better than the AGT voters. Seeing how many singers we have in the semifinals already, another singer winner is really likely.

And by the way, regarding this season's Wildcards, I hear that four will be chosen to enter the semifinals? So they won't have a Wildcard quarterfinal this year? Which I guess means we'll be losing a week of AGT this year.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:50, August 17, 2013 (UTC)

Next week
Did they show all 12 semifinalists in next week's promo?

I think Tone and Duo Resonance will be taking part in next week, and Howard and Howie's picks the week after.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:30, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

Do you know of the voteagt.com site? They keep track of all the votes cast on twitter. Most of them have been pretty accurate so far. Right now Kenichi's in fourth so I strongly worry.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:46, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure if you are the creator of the America's Got Talent wikipedia page. However, I wanted to edit the Collins Key wikipedia page and I accidentally deleted a lot of it. I tried to fix it as best as I could, however, I think some if it is still messed up. It wasn't the whole page, but rather just a small portion. I wanted to apologize and say that I did not mean to do it. It shouldn't be a major issue but I wanted to let you know so you don't ban me or anything. Thanks.

I am SO happy he won! I was about to give up all hope on the show when Marty Brown was voted through but I'm really happy with the way a possibly-awful season ended. Kenichi deserved it all the way and I'm REALLY Happy. I'm also very surprised. The AGT public wasn't exactly known for voting with an open mind, imo. When Kevin Skinner beat the Mexican opera sensation Barbara Padilla, I thought there was no way a foreigner could ever beat an all-American country singer. But thank God that was not the case this time! JayDK103 (talk) 03:07, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Erik10101!

I am writing to give you some exciting news - Wikia Video has recently received some fresh videos on America's Got Talent. Many of the videos embedded on wikis come from sites like YouTube and often become unavailable when they are removed or taken down for copyright violations there. To help provide a reliable and legal option, Wikia has licensed thousands of videos for use on your wikis from several content partners. These are all found in Wikia Video. They are viewable worldwide and Wikia has the full license for these videos, which means your wiki can use them anywhere you like.

Through a quick search, I found this set of videos for your wiki. Please let me know if you need any help adding them on your community, or have feedback on the videos. We will go ahead and add some videos if we don't hear back from you by the end of this week! Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 18:48, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Voice
Hi,

I think I remember telling me before that you have watched the Voice as well.

So I'm wondering if you'd want to maybe create a wiki for that show as well.

I myself watch quite a number of reality shows and lately have been filling in the deserted Apprentice wiki, of which I've literally been the only active member for the last few months or so.

There already is a Voice wiki. I'm not the admin of it but it's nowhere near as complete as this one is.

So yeah it was something I had in mind. JayDK103 (talk)

I agree. The categories could be pretty easy to fill in as well. Either Males, Females, or Duos. Other than that, maybe also categorize them by state or home country, along with, of course, which coach's team they're on (Team Blake, Team Adam, etc.). And if they were stolen in the Battle Rounds, we can also have a "Stolen Artists" category. I think it could be helpful. Since that wiki seems a bit more active than the Apprentice one, I may have to ask for permission from whoever the admin is, I suppose.

Have you ever seen the Apprentice by the way? I've been quickly putting up the contestant pages on the wiki for that. There I've been dividing some of the contestant categories into "Oldest Contestants/Youngest Contestants", based on who the oldest and youngest per season is, ans also by race (Asian-American/African-American), and even by LGBT.

For the Voice though it may not be as necessary.

Wordmark Logo
Greetings! Thanks for all the wonderful work you've been doing here, unfortunately the folks at America's Got Talent have contacted us (Wikia) about the usage of their logo in this wiki's Wordmark. Many wikis use official logos - sometimes the property involved doesn't mind, and sometimes they do. In this case, it's the latter. I have created a new logo that is *similar* to one used by the show, but has been changed enough that I believe they will be "okay" with it. This is just a placeholder of sorts that I put up for the time being, but you're welcome to keep it if you choose. Sorry for the inconvenience, but otherwise keep up the good work! :)

NBC TV Network Webring
Greeting! Just a heads-up, there is now an NBC TV network "webring" footer available to wikias that feature content dedicated to NBC shows. Here is the code if you'd like to add it to your main page (if you'd rather I add it, just let me know): <pre style="width:111px"> The purpose of these webrings is to bring attention to the wikias listed that users on other wikias in the webring may not otherwise have been aware of. This can help newer communities grow, and bring new fans into established communities - since viewers often follow more than one show on the same network.

If you have any questions, please feel free to hit me up on my talk page. Thank you for your time! :)

Hi, can you help me out with something?

http://apprentice.wikia.com/wiki/Template:103

That's the template I use for the Apprentice wiki, and I'm trying to merge multiple seasons info into one box, as you can see on that page. It would save more space rather than doing it the way it currently is here: http://apprentice.wikia.com/wiki/Trace_Adkins

The "age", "hometown", etc. are alligned to the left for the first season on the template page, but I can't figure out how to allign them to the left for the second/third seasons. Do you know how?

Thanks.

JayDK103 (talk) 07:37, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the response.

But by the way, it doesn't look like I'll be able to contribute to the Voice wiki.

The template, additional categories, and page layout I proposed was rejected by the Admin on there.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:51, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I added the Season 7 audition page because it is significant with this act that yes he did appear in his hometown of St. Louis and did far better than in Season 6. There are those who doubt his appearance and this confirms that he did appear in Season 7 only it wasn't aired and many of us in St. Louis felt this icon should have been aired because there has been so much written about him locally as a near living legend here in St. Louis.

Walteria (talk) 21:42, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

Season 9
Hi, I'll probably be available next week, so sure, I'll do what I can.

Did you watch the Voice this year, by the way? We almost had a mediocre country singer win again, just like with Jimmy Rose on the last AGT. I don't like how they always make it so much further than deserved. Hopefully that won't happen this year. I want to like all the finalists for once.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:22, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

I agree.

Plus, you know that Voice wiki I mentioned I started a while ago? If you would like, you can help out sometime. I think I have a good format going.

All the Voice season pages on Wikipedia have plenty of info, so it's easy to copy the important bits from there.

JayDK103 (talk) 09:51, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

Spotlight
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki is in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:08, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

What do you think of this season so far?

I have to say, the moment Jaycob finished his audition in the first episode, I became very pessimistic about this season in the long run. The guitar playing and singing male from the south with a huge story, and seeing a bunch of people on the AGT Facebook page swooning over him thereafter. But Smoothini came along and I think he might go far. Smoothini's one of my favorites so far, along with Acte II. Maggie Lane was great, too. Opera's one of my favorite styles when done perfectly.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:40, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

I replaced the Stoinev season 9 image because the original was an uncropped screenshot of your screen, and I thought I could change it to make it look like the others. It might just be on my side, though, but the christianstoinev.png file is still the uncropped screenshot.

JayDK103 (talk) 23:05, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Maybe. it's up to you. If there's a way to delete the original image though and then rename the stoinev2 to just christianstoinev then that could work too, right?

JayDK103 (talk) 00:07, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

That's great. Thanks.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:13, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I can do that. By the way how did you find Jonathan Riquelme's name so fast? The montaged acts don't have their names spelled out so it's harder to correctly identify them. I wouldn't have gotten it that fast. Nice job.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:29, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Do you happen to know when the first Bootcamp Round episode is scheduled to air? I'm curious as to how many audition episodes are left. The Vegas Round has been the round I was looking forward to the most in the past. Of all the successful singers so far, Jaycob's the one I worry the most about, since I wasn't a big fan, yet many others were. Hopefully the Bootcamp Round may, or may not, ease some of that tension.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:59, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

If Jaycob does happen to make it through, then I'm pretty sure we're all gonna be in for a long and painful ride all the way to the end with him. Just like with Jimmy last season. At which point I'll probably lose enthusiasm in the show, like I did last year. Kenichi winning saved everything, though. But unfortunately, a lot of the people that vote on the show have no clue what true talent is. They pick the nice good ole boy with the story to stand behind, and it makes it really unenjoyable for the rest of us.

JayDK103 (talk) 07:25, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

I kind of agree, but the show's been known to have somewhat of a racial, gender, and regional bias. Like remember Deanna from last season, and how she was one of the more pushed contestants at the start. She didn't even make the semifinals. Plus, for the last two seasons in a row, the Top 5 acts in the end were all male. So for those reasons, I don't think Paul from Samoa, or Anna have as good a chance of winning or going far as Jaycob. That's my concern. JayDK103 (talk) 01:10, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

Buns & Roses
That kid dance group from a week or two back, is that their actual name? Someone edited that in but I don't know if it's for real or not. If so, I guess we can add that, too.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:39, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

It looks like this was the last week of auditions.

Do you have any predictions for who we'll see in the live shows and who we won't? We have a lot of comedians this year. Like, two or three in today's episode alone. Surely not all of them can make it through.

Smoothini and Mat Franco were pretty similar, both having done card tricks. But if only one of them gets through, it'll probably be Smoothini.

As for the singers, at this point, I'm fine with all of them except Jaycob. I've already convinced myself that he'll be the one I'm rooting against.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:27, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with most of your favorites. I also love Acte II and Serendip. I was pretty vocal about my support for Acte II on their Facebook page. They've even called me their #1 fan, lol.

I like Darik as a character.

I wasn't a big fan of the cellists. I don't know, I guess I just don't like the sound of a cello as much as a violin. I don't see Loop going too far either. How much can he do with trick roping?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:53, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I guess we can replace the round name as we edit each act's Judgment Week result next week, rather than do it before then.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:26, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Yep. I didn't see Jaycob in the promo for next week. I'm guessing the most likely scenario with him is that he was one of the four the judges sent straight through. Oh well. I think Mel or Heidi put a female dance group in red through as the promo gave it away. As I look at the successful dance groups this season, could it have been the Rebel Girls?

JayDK103 (talk) 02:29, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

I guess we should wait to see if it was them next week rather than assume and add the category to their page now, right?

As much as we can blame the public for mediocre singers like Jaycob going far, it's also largely the show's fault, especially if they pimp him as much as they already have. He was last not only in the first auditions episode, but also in tonight's "Best Of", recapping the whole season so far. So that's not a good sign.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:36, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

While I am usually not a fan of reality shows "fixing" or "rigging" the results in some cases, as some people might accuse them of doing, I wouldn't mind it if it gives us a better "winner" in the end. There was a website last season that kept track of the twitter votes, and Jimmy Rose got #1 in the final, yet he finished 3rd. So, who knows, right? I hope AGT the show doesn't allow its credibility to go down, no matter what it takes.

But having said that, there were some singing acts this season I did really like, like Acte II and Emily West. If they won I wouldn't be as upset, but Smoothini would also be great, since we never had a Magician win. And his audition this season was one of the best I've seen. Unlike Collins though, he might not have his looks working for him.

Also, I've started following Maximilliana's page on Facebook and she claims she did make it through the auditions this year. Should we take her word for it?

JayDK103 (talk) 02:49, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

I can do more later. I'm not watching from home right now and decided to just add the first eight that made through.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:41, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

By the way, do you think all the magicians have already competed? If so, is Smoothini gonna be just another one of those acts we see make it through the audition but then never again? There's no "Judges' Favorites" and "Standbys" this year, right?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:02, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Rogue might instead be sorted into the Danger category. It's possible, like how Spencer Horsman a couple years ago was in the Magicians group when I personally saw him more as Danger...

There's another episode tomorrow, right? Are the QFs supposed to start next week or will this be dragged on for two weeks?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:24, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

I thought the so-called Variety counted as the Novelty group? But then again we didn't see Dustin's Dojo yet and they were in the promos.

Smoothini is definitely Magic. He can't be anything else, imo.

Either he's already out, or there will be a second Magic group. Or maybe for some reason they didn't show his performance but he'll make it through anyway.

In fact, I thought I saw him today.in the background before Mat Franco performed. Or it could have just been a crew member. Is it an AGT shirt?



I agree.

So far, what are your predictions?

Of the magicians, I think Mike and Mat are in, Stephen's probably out since we didn't see him. Franklin's a toss-up. We didn't see him in the auditions, which definitely works against him, but I think Howard had the only negative feedback on his act tonight. I thought the performance was really good.

Of the dancers, I'd say Dragon House is in, while the other two are out. To me, Sean and Luke are nothing special.

Of the kid singers, I think Octavious and Julia should make it through. Octavious, also because he's the only male there, so it would be fair to give him a shot. The judges already said that he did better than Grace, so she might be out.

Of the comedians, I think Darik is definitely in. Wendy's probably out, and Joe, although he blew it, could be a toss-up. He's got the story, which works for him.

Of the Variety, I think Juan Carlos and Loop are in. Juan Carlos will be this year's Big Barry. The Yo-Yoer is probably out.

Of the strongmen, I'd put JD through over Mighty Atom, because at the latter's age, he can't do a great variety of feats.

I actually didn't end up watching the Female singers (since I was kinda disappointed knowing tonight was gonna end in some kind of cliffhanger), so I'll leave those guesses solely to you.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:07, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

I hope Smoothini did make it. I wonder why we didn't see him. Maybe there were more than eight that made it through automatically?

I'm liking a lot of acts this year too, but there's always that one person who makes it a lot further than they should, thus ruining the season. I'm still worried about Jaycob.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:35, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm here right now, so I can deal with the Judgment Week page if that's fine, while you do the 908 page.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:04, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I lost connection for a minute. Were the jump rope team the last ones in the second variety group? JayDK103 (talk) 00:46, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I'm disappointed by the Judgment Week episodes. A lot of good acts from the auditions were nowhere to be seen.

The results started with Frank, Sal, and Justin getting cut, so it's obvious at this point that Miguel and Jaycob are moving on. I would have put Sal through.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:53, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I think Valo & Bobby were one of the 12 in next week's lineup? We'll know for sure when the NBC site gets updated with the profiles.

Jaycob's like the AGT mascot now. They might as well include a photo of him on the America's Got Talent logo from now on, lol.

I didn't catch all the results so in the Judgment Week page I have those acts listed with a "?".

JayDK103 (talk) 02:16, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

This Week
Knowing who the acts are this week, what are your early predictions as to who will advance?

JayDK103 (talk) 03:35, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

America has shown in recent seasons that no matter how much the judges love a danger act, America doesn't. So I'd rule JD and Valo and Bobby out already. Latin dance groups like Baila Conmigo (who remind me of Untouchables and Miami All Stars, both former finalists) usually make it through at least the first round. I don't think David & Leeman will place in the Top 3. Sean & Luke also don't compare to most of the others, so they're also out. Dan might make it through, and Miguel is a definite Top 3. Male singer, good looking, has a guitar, it's obvious. Emily has a lot of FB supporters (I think), and I don't think she'll fall below the Top 5. The Chinese group from last year almost made the semis, so Jasmine Flowers might have a bit of a chance.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:19, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I just got home to see the results. As I predicted, danger act Valo & Bobby got axed already. It's pretty unfair, imo. What they do is great.

I'm worried about next week. You got Loop, Mat, Jaycob, Mara, and possibly Darik, all being heavy hitters, then one of my top favorites ACTE II. I hope ACTE II makes it, but I can't be sure right now.. If they go out over Jaycob, it'll be a huge, huge injustice.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:52, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

I'd name John & Andrew as cannon fodder over Hart. Weren't Hart one of the tops of their first episode? John & Andrew are getting quite a bit of dislike on Facebook. I hope it's not because of homophobic bigotry, but, well, it probably is.

I just hope ACTE II make it through this week. ACTE II are very active with their fans on Facebook. They've responded to nearly all of my posts so far. There was a Q&A on Facebook and Twitter with them a couple days ago. Since they only have about 900 likes on FB I was pretty much the only FB fan taking part in that Q&A, lol. I asked if they knew what the performance order for next week was yet, since the last act usually has the advantage of being at the front of peoples' minds when they vote, but they said they won't find out until next week.

so due to that I guess I'm personally invested in them as an act now. I live in Canada so there's not much I can do with rallying the troops to vote for them.

JayDK103 (talk) 09:53, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

In the next couple days before the next show begins, is there anything I can help out a bit with? Looks like you're doing well with Season 3.

And like I mentioned before, I have my Voice wiki going as well. You can help out if you want to. The info formatting I've been using is pretty simple, I'd think.

http://voice-us.wikia.com/wiki/The_Voice_(US)_Wiki

JayDK103 (talk) 08:43, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, if I can find the episode videos, I can go ahead and start it up. It's the Kevin Skinner season though so I guess we saved the worst for last? lol. Really though, I didn't like some of the finalists that season - Grandma Lee wasn't funny to me, Kevin and Drew were overrated. Barbara was the absolute best and was robbed. And by the way, I believe I remember you say you don't use Facebook much? Well I am on there, and if you want, I can add you.

JayDK103 (talk) 23:19, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

I missed the performance show again, but I often go on BuddyTV.com to read recaps. they're saying that Andrey, Aerial Animation, and Mat are the definites, while ACTE II, Hart, and Mara are competing for the rest of the spots. But I think Jaycob is definitely in the Top 3, because of his story if anything else. You remember how Marty Brown blew it last year yet he was voted through. Granted that this week's talent was a lot stronger (based on the past) than Marty's, but still, I'm expecting the worst. What do you think, having seen it?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:08, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

I think we should add a chat feature for live chats during shows or other uses. Coldplay9999 (talk) 14:39, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

So I see that Jaycob did in fact get more votes than ACTE II and Mara. I knew this was going to happen. I called it spot-on. Any hopes become shattered once again.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:34, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Well the show just ended and Mara got voted through. I thought both should have gone through over Jaycob so this position was not fair for either of them. This is when I hate America. Just like exactly one year ago today. Oh well. The other three that made it were very well deserved. But I have a bad taste in my mouth.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:04, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

So I was right when I said that America doesn't care about female sob stories, as Anna was just cut. Not fair, but whatever. I'm not looking forward to Jaycob's semifinal. His fans are hypocrites.

Regarding Anna's relatability, I guess you might be right. But then again, I don't think the majority of Jaycob's fans were adopted or have adopted themselves. I might be wrong, but I still think it's a regional, racial, and sex-based bias. If Anna was a depressed male from Texas, maybe she would have fared a better shot (to be fair though, I don't remember which state she's from). Plus, it could have been expected that the recent news regarding Robin Williams (RIP) might have raised more awareness and could have helped her.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:57, August 15, 2014 (UTC)

Just so you know, I will no longer be watching the live performance shows this season. So I won't be able to help out with those. However, I might still be watching the result shows the following day, so I can help update the weekly results like I did last week.

JayDK103 (talk) 23:36, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

So the Wildcards haven't been revealed tonight?

Looks like they're pairing Miguel with Paul instead of Jaycob for the semis. That pisses me off. If the judges are unhappy with Jaycob, they only have themselves and the show to blame.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:02, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah. Honestly, I'll probably just give up on this season altogether, like I almost did last year at around this time. The semis aren't looking good for those in Jaycob's week that aren't Jaycob.

Regardless, though, what did you think of tonight's results? BuddyTV called Jonatan a "should be lock" after last night's performance, but he didn't make it. Smoothini Jaycobed his way into the Semis, but there's one big difference: Smoothini had an amazing audition and deserved this second chance, while Jaycob didn't. He got through based on true performance and talent, while Jaycob got through over story and sympathy. America always finds a way to ruin these shows.

And, well, not to bring the sex and race card back again, but once again the black female singer who gets the last spot has to rely on the judges' vote. Their stories don't seem to matter.

Vandalism
Hi, not sure if you got my message on Dustin's Dojo's talk page, but there is quite a lot of vandalism on that page, including some very offensive language and inappropriate material. Would you mind if you cleaned it up, or even if I could clean it up? ~Curious Poker Chip 2:43 p.m. August 21st, 2014 (Pacific)


 * I will fix the page right away. If you ever notice any vandalism, you're free to clean it up! Thanks for letting me know!


 * Erik10101 (talk) 21:51, August 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, dude. I saw a lot of vandalism on Fighting Gravity's page too. You may want to clean that up too. ~Curious Poker Chip 5:23 p.m. August 21st, 2014 (Pacific)

So what are your thoughts on this week? I didn't watch the performance show but BuddyTV ranked Mara as dead last in the rankings, yet she moved on. I'm a bit sad Paul's out, for the sole reason that Jaycob is going to outlast him. I'm thrilled Serendip made it, and surprised Mike bounced back and made it as well. I bet Smoothini and Mat are both going through next week so we'll probably have all four magicians in the final. If Jaycob makes it though then it'll be Hell on Earth. I'm not looking forward to that major disappointment, but I am expecting the worst.

Standing Ovasion Icon
So I made a standing ovasion icon: and am adding it to current episodes as you can see on Episode 919, I figured if you had the time you could add them to some older episodes or episodes I miss if desired.~ 02:04, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

I'm so thrilled Jaycob's gone. I was worried at the beginning of the show but when four were left with two spots and Mat and Quintavious were still in line, I started feeling pretty hopeful. I just had to log on and be the one to update his demise on his page lol. I just wish ACTE II were in the semis though. Oh well, this is them being avenged.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:52, September 4, 2014 (UTC)

Final 6
Do you think we should create a new Final 6 category to differ from the 12 Finalists, since it's now an additional round in the show? If so, we can also do a Final 4 category for people like Michael Grimm, Landau, Silhouettes, Jackie, iLuminate, etc.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:41, September 12, 2014 (UTC)

Well, since there have been a number of those top acts throughout the years (Top 4, Top 5, Top 6), I went ahead and labeled them all as Grand Finalists. As for seasons 1, 3, 4, and 7, I left them as they were because from all the acts that progressed through the semifinals, they only had one finals night from which the winner was picked out of.

Spotlight Request #2 2014
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki is still in great shape, however the spotlight will not go up until the start of October if I approve it today. Each wikia can request two spotlights a year and you requested your last one in June. So if you would like a spotlight in October we can do that. Or you can wait and ask again when the next season starts. Let me know what you want to do! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:52, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Ever since Jaycob got the boot, I've been happy with any of the remaining acts winning.

I expected Mat and Emily to be the last two after last week.

It'll be a win-win and a lose-lose if either win, for these reasons:

If Mat wins, he'll be the first magician to win, which is great.

If Mat wins, that means another woman ends up losing, which is kind of frustrating.

If Emily wins, that means she's the first female winner since season 1, which is about time to happen.

If Emily wins, it's another singer, which is a bit lame.

But either way, I'm glad.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:59, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome, and since it looks like all the older seasons are complete as well, what would you think of helping with my Voice wiki soon? I've gotten up to almost three seasons fully put in on my own. I haven't added any videos though, like there are on here.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:07, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

And I can say today that Jimmy Rose is the first AGT contestant I actually have a personal issue with. He blocked me off his facebook page because I spoke out against hunting. I thought someone like him would be for a "Free speech America".

JayDK103 (talk) 23:58, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah. It may be biased on my part but I say that whenever someone votes for a white male country singer, they are voting for ignorance and racism. Because country is known to be homophobic and is a white, Christian dominated industry.

It's a shame Jimmy is as sensitive as he is. If hunting means that much to him that he'd get rid of anyone that opposes it, then that's too bad. I never liked him anyway. I joined his and Marty's pages in the first place with the "If you can't beat them, join them" mentality.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:26, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. I didn't call anyone names or say anything to personally insult him yet he took it that way. However before he blocked me, one of his fans responded to my post saying something like "If you're gonna whine get outta here we don't want whiners" and I bet she's still allowed on the page. It's kind of cult-like if you think about it. You'd think that someone who served in the military would have more balls than to be offended by the slightest disagreeance. If I said his hairdo looked bad he'd probably cry over that as well.

JayDK103 (talk) 08:29, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

He's lost all my respect. He didn't go on the show to kill deer, he went on to sing. So he shouldn't block someone because they oppose the former. Way to alienate fans with his ignorance. I hope he never gets back on AGT as a guest performer.

Trivia and fun facts
Hello Erik, I have no registered name. This is someone who has watched seasons 7, 8, and 9 of America's Got Talent and I have attributed some interesting facts to the 'Trivia' section on a couple of acts. One thing to consider is when an act receives standing ovations from all of the judges for each live performance and makes it to the finals found. I think Team iLuminate, William Close, and lately Quintavious Johnson has achieved this. I remember finalists Kenichi Ebina, Forte, and Emily West came close to getting the highest number of possible of standing O's from the judges during the live shows. ~keld

Help fight vandalism
Someone has vandalized Mat Franco's page and I cannot seem to revert his changes. ~keld

HI just saw you message is thier any way since they are magicians to put them the catagory for magician just my ocd if your confused i was the one that edited the Dom the Bom Triple Threat page also btw i may be audditoning next year not season 10 but season 11 so be ready to add another ;) Ztrichak (talk) 23:34, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

Dom the Bom Triple Threat's act was nothing but card throwing at objects. The quarterfinal performance sucked that I would not mention what the kids would have done next. ~keld

Keld suck my corn it's really good and also i will stand by me saying the quater final performance was very enjoyable in it's own way and they did deserve a Wild Card and again wile they do not do magic he says he does and we do not know what he would have done next so yes i would love to see what this amazingly talented kid would do next Ztrichak (talk) 17:26, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Edits on Dom The Bom's Triple Threat
Wile I can see why you edited my last edit back i have to say just because no magic was shown does not mean he is not a magic act as stated in his opening cards he says he's a magician their for he is a magician fuether more he could have done magic in the semis had he went through he could have done a video audition and did magic in that so I will edit it back if you want to explain to me why not then, please understand and thank you Ztrichak (talk) 17:21, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Don't. It's pointless to be categorizing the act for something the kids could have done but did not perform on the show. You might as well categorize Smoothini the magician as a dancer too if you saw the end of his Semifinals performance.

Ha ha that was funny still that would not be the same becuase dom clearly says twice "I'm a Card Thrower/Magician" with the slash too!!! smoothini dosn't say he is a dancer and if you want to get really technical the method dom uses is called the magician's method i think we should care more about Special Head who is not a Magician or a MALE SINGER in the end it is a little thing but me and my ocd with wiki's will cause me to change it back if you or someone else redits so thank you Ztrichak (talk) 23:49, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

The "Male singers" category was added because Special Head did Tuvan throat singing in his audition. I can see what you're saying about him not technically being a singer, so I'm willing to make that change, Ztrichak. Dom the Bom's Triple Threat was definitely not "magic" though. His act was demonstrating a skill, not attempting to mislead the audience in any way.

Erik10101 (talk) 00:08, October 26, 2014 (UTC)

I guess I can comprimise on what came out of your edits though it bugs me i'll live with it hopefully these edits will stay becuase i think that this is good enough still accurate but not overly seculative sorry for the trouble :) Ztrichak (talk) 01:10, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

New Spotlight
Hello. I will be happy to add America's Got Talent Wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:15, June 17, 2015 (UTC)

Hello Erik. I just made some edits to the last parts of season 2 (184.160.154.102 aka A Wikia Contributor). So I have created a profile named Invader97. Maybe I will contribute more in the future. By the way, I have obtained video copies of all the episodes of AGT since the beginning except for the first 8 episodes of season 2. Any chance that you would know where I could get a hold of these? Bye for now, Invader97Invader97 (talk) 05:58, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. I'll put in some edits when I can. And also, remember how I brought up my personal issue with Jimmy Rose? Well I think there's something I left out, which is that after I tried getting back on his page, expressing how unfair it was of him to block me just for the anti-hunting reason, he blocked me again and threatened to press charges, and that was the last straw for me. I have no respect for that man and feel sorry for everyone that is a fan of his. Jimmy is running his page like a complete and utter cult and his followers are blind to it. You have to have the same exact opinions about EVERYTHING as he does or else he's gonna get rid of you. He's disgusting.

But I also had some personal problems with another contestant a few months ago too. So, for those two reasons mainly, is why I don't feel as comfortable covering the show now.

JayDK103 (talk) 01:16, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. I hope the show never brings Jimmy back for any reason, but who knows. Ugh it just sucks completely that America worships a tool like him. Not good.

I am catching up on this year's show, and I'm surprised that in five episodes we've only had two male solo singers (not counting Ira). My main favorites so far are the four novelty dancers (Siro-A, Freckled Sky, Freelusion, and Animation Boys). I like Ondrei too because of the uniqueness of his balancing act. What do you think?

JayDK103 (talk) 04:36, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with all of whom you mentioned for the guest performances. They should bring back all the winners maybe, except for Kevin Skinner of course. lol. Mat will definitely be included since he just won last year. I wouldn't be surprised to see Emily, too.

I like Drew and Paul, too. When I first watched Drew I didn't think he was any good but after having rewatched his audition, I got his jokes more and thought he did a good job. However, my concern for him is that if he's going to base his material on his stuttering every time, then it may be limited. The GPS and Drive Thru ones were great, but what else can he do?

I think the worst Golden Buzzer this year is for sure Sharon. She wasn't that great at all. I like the song she chose to sing, but she did not do it any justice, imo. At least there are no country singers this year. I hope no Kentucky losers like Jimmy Rose pop up to ruin the season in the last two episodes.

JayDK103 (talk) 08:13, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

This Benton guy seems pretty sure he'll be televised. I guess that means he makes the live shows then? Ugh. Well I hope he's good. At least he's not from Kentucky. I might have to stay away from his facebook page so the same crap Jimmy Rose pulled on me doesn't happen with him too. But I took a glance at his page and there aren't any hunting photos from what I found. But, I did leave a disingenuous "good luck" post on his wall just to see if I can get on an eventual winner/runner-up/third placer's good side for now. lol. Any guesses as to what his ethnicity is? He reminds me of WWE star Brodus Clay. His face kind of has African-American features but his skin color is that of a Caucasian. Milton Patton from Jimmy Rose's season was a good country singer.

JayDK103 (talk) 10:43, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

If that list is accurate then I am impressed for the most part. Take out Kevin Skinner, Drew Lynch, and Freckled Sky (the last two ONLY because they are still active in the competition), and I can see it happening. I don't like David and Dania much either. They had a very poor attitude when they were first on, especially David. And their act got old a very long time ago, imo.

I hope Jimmy Rose won't be added to that list, and I hope he and his cult will be very disappointed. If you could say something to Jimmy Rose, what would you say? Part of me was hoping we could delete his page on this Wiki and anything having to do with him just to disregard him completely, based on his actions, and rub as much salt in the wound as possible, but I know that won't happen.

http://agt.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/73.197.94.122

That guy keeps changing back the edits I made to the page yesterday. The info I was putting in isn't wrong, is it?

JayDK103 (talk) 21:54, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

So now that you've seen Benton, what do you think? I went to the AGT Facebook page after the show, and literally 99% of all the commenters are saying that Benton was the best of the night. So, what does this mean

JayDK103 (talk) 11:35, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

I actually think Benton is good, too. But I still don't want him to win, or even make it as far as the finals. Whatever happens, I just hope he doesn't end up being as awful and disappointing as Jimmy Rose.

As for next week, do you know how exactly it will work? The Judge Cuts page on here says that 20 acts will perform next week but only 6 will move on. How will that work? Will it be like the regular auditions all over again? In the promos I seem to remember the Xs being activated, and I guess the Golden Buzzer will be used by the guest judges once per Judge Cuts episode. With four confirmed guest judges appearing during this round, will there be two episodes next week and the week after, or will it be dragged into a four week long period?

JayDK103 (talk) 06:11, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

So out of the acts on tonight's show, who do you think will make it through?

I think 3 Shades of Blue, Freelusion, Samantha J, Michael, and maybe Piff are locks.

I'd include Alondra as well but I don't see both female singers making it in the same night. Paul Ponce might make it through too while Silvia does not, just to have that "sad family separation" moment these shows sometimes have.

As for Benton, I think his show is in two weeks. I definitely see him making it. When the judges say "yes" to him, it will be equivalent to the million dollars falling down on him like confetti. Nobody on Facebook has anywhere NEAR as much support as he does.

JayDK103 (talk) 20:58, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

I hope you're right about Benton. I'm still following and being active on his Facebook page, though, like a "true fan", lol. But I am more of a "mole", if you will.

Anyway, I just got home and tuned in. Did I miss anything big other than what's been updated on this Wiki today so far? The first thing I saw was Samantha Hess talking about "how she wish she could have gone to RCMH". So I guess she didn't make it? Is that X beside Paul Ponce and Samantha Hess an actual buzzer?

Another quick question: For the acts that are cut in this round, is "Judge Cuts Round" good for their "Position Reached" or is that too long? Where is this round taking place, anyway? Vegas? New York?

JayDK103 (talk) 00:55, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Next Week
The sneak peak photos for next week are up on the AGT site. There were a couple photos of people I didn't recognize so I left those blank, but I think the last photo with the Obama lookalikes are the Chippendoubles, who were also on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago. After going to their Facebook page, it looks as if it is indeed them. Here's their BGT audition, to see give you an idea of what they might be doing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToU3D7IJjRA

While the first audition is, of course, great, it goes downhill from there, for obvious reasons. Unless they can get a whole new crew of lookalikes, they won't last at all.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:53, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

I think the God's Selected Choir are one of them, and could that girl dancer be Cailyn Mathis?

I definitely see Scott, the Choir, and Benjamin making it through. Not sure about Uyezer. Shirley's a definitely cut. She's just like Diana Augone or Ada Lynn from season 2. They're fun when they last but come the final cuts, they never make it.

The Chippendoubles have the "audition never shown" thing working against them. But I'm looking forward to them.

Benton said on his FB that he'll be on during week 3.

And for the record, I found out that Piff has more likes than he does. But Piff's been on UK TV before so maybe that's why, and maybe most of his fanbase is British, and they obviously can't vote. So I guess it means nothing.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:11, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Dr. Danger's Daredevil All Stars are also competing next week. Between them and Uzeyer, I think the group has a better chance. They got the audition pimp spot afterall.

Are you sure it's four episodes with 20 acts each. Weren't there a lot more than 80 successful acts shown in the auditions? What will happen to them?

In the past, I don't think there was ever a set amount of acts they could put through the auditions. So I don't know. I'm hoping for more.

Bootcamp
I was reading your conversation with the other guy about the confusion on bootcamp this year, here is how it works based on their website and various reports:

<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">The bootcamp round will be enhanced this year. Scheduled to begin on Tuesday, July 14, each judge will receive a special advantage over the others in determining which acts become a part of the Top 36 to perform for America's vote. Unlike previous seasons, the live shows will only feature 36 acts instead of the normal 48. The bootcamp round will also last several weeks compared to just one week in previous seasons <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:11.1999998092651px;line-height:11.1999998092651px;">. <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> Celebrity guest judges will also be featured to assist the regular judges with their decision, including  Neil Patrick Harris<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">,  Michael Buble<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">,  Piers Morgan<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">, and  Marlon Wayans<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">. However, 12 acts that were eliminated during Boot Camp will be selected by the judges to come back to the live shows.

Hi, another quick question,

Do you know how to disable the Wiki feature that automatically makes you "follow" each and every page when you make an edit to it? I ask because I find it annoying when I come home to like 30 email notifications from Wiki alone just because a page I was "following" had changes made to it. It's something I don't need.

JayDK103 (talk) 23:45, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

lol I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner. I think it should work now. Thanks.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:01, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

I found this site, which seems legit: http://www.gettyimages.de/detail/nachrichtenfoto/episode-1009-pictured-daniella-mass-nachrichtenfoto/480781836

It tells us all 20 of the acts participating next week, and helped me fill in some of the unnamed acts. My Cailyn Mathis guess was wrong on the dancer lol.

What are your predictions now?

JayDK103 (talk) 23:08, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

I'm hoping the Chippendoubles squeeze through somehow but I don't think that will happen. lol that's my BGT fan bias talking. I really think they'll be great to see. Did you check out the BGT audition I linked you to? This time though they're using different people.

Also, I'm creating the new pages as we speak, just as starters for now. Of course, the images I am uploading are temporary for the next few days and some of the info will probably be changed as well.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:01, July 17, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and no problem. I'm glad to help out whenever I feel up to it.

Also, I may have made another discovery today. If you go to Episode 901 and scroll to the very bottom, there's a four guy band listed in the Unnamed and Unknown category. Could they be 3 Shades of Blue? If you go to 3 Shades of Blue website, the photo of the band on the main page of the site looks pretty similar to the Season 9 screenshot.

Guest Judges
It hasn't been confirmed yet which of Mel and Howie invited who back, right? Although logically I think it's most likely that Howie's the one bringing Piers back, since he's the only one that worked with him in the past. I think that assumption is 99% fair.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:18, July 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hm, I guess so. I saw a lot more possibility in the other scenario though. Would have been good as a televised "story" and such, too.

JayDK103 (talk) 06:23, July 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hi, since there are only 80 acts (most likely) performing in the Judge Cuts round, then that obviously means that some of the successful auditions we created pages for this season will never be seen. What should their "Position" be? I think Judge Cuts may be inaccurate if they don't actually partake in that round. So I am unsure.

JayDK103 (talk) 06:18, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

I don't really have any good ideas, no. Maybe "Pre-Judge Cuts" or something? Or if we leave "Judge Cuts" then the write-up in their Judge Cuts section should be something like "X was not chosen by the judges to take part in the televised Judge Cuts episodes, eliminating them from the competition". What do you think?

JayDK103 (talk) 06:59, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

That sounds good, but how about adding a bit more to that write-up? Like "(Act) did not perform in the Judge Cuts round, meaning he either withdrew or was cut by the judges before this stage of the competition".

JayDK103 (talk) 07:07, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

Deceased
Should we have a "Deceased" category, or something of that nature, for solo acts that have died, such as Ray Jessel and Bernie Barker?

I'll leave the final decision to you, since you were Admin long before me.

Wikipedia and many other websites list every celebrity death, and categorize them, like "2014 Deaths" for Robin Williams, for example (who, I am still saddened by to this day). The Survivor wiki also has tributes and a category for the three former contestants who have died from that show.

But yeah, I'll leave it to you to decide.

As far as I know, yes, just them two. Grandma Lee and Rapping Granny are still alive, the last I checked.

One of the members of The Fiddleheads died a couple years ago, but I specified adding the category to only solo acts for a reason. Unless every member of a group act ends up dying, I think we should leave it to just solo acts.

I found this about Frank Simon. https://www.facebook.com/pages/FRANK-SIMON-Memorial-Page/433109533477043

I speak Hungarian, so I can sort of make out the posts that are written on there (although "Memorial Page" may be enough to confirm his passing).

Emi Emi's post on the bottom of the page says "Be in peace, big brother" and the post below that says "Frank Simon has died, I've known him for 30 years", and the first post on the timeline by Muity says "It happened one year ago today. He no longer has worries. Be in peace, in our hearts you will live on."

So I guess that, unfortunately, it is a sure thing. I always thought he should have proceeded into the next round.

Boye
I was surprised to find out recently that Alex Boye has over 83,000 likes on Facebook. I hope he shows up during the week 4 Judge Cuts. There's only 18 confirmed spots left and so many great ones we haven't been able to add to the roster yet. Vox, too. But Vox should show up in week 4. And what about Stevie, Showproject, more of the danger acts, Leo, Joy Jerkins, Enra, and so on? I'd even like to see the competitive eater or Leroy again. There will be some upsets. I agree with what you said earlier this week - it's disappointing and a bit irritating that instead of them, we're getting all these unknowns who we never saw until their Judge Cuts episode.

JayDK103 (talk) 21:12, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

I'm back home now. So I can help update the Judge Cuts page while you do the episode page, if that's what you want. Cast photos and stuff I'll leave to you because the stream I am using is not the best quality.

Out of everyone who performed so far tonight, who was montaged, besides the three "unknowns" before Uzeyer? I tuned in just as Benjamin was walking out on stage.

JayDK103 (talk) 00:55, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

I was extremely disappointed by The Chippendoubles. They did so much better on BGT and was hoping they'd have an equal reception here. I was actually looking forward to seeing them all week. Sucks to see them go out like that. I'm also sad to see Scott go although it's understandable. I'm also surprised that Aiden's out instead of Ira. Why put Ira through and not Aiden? Ryan too. He was fantastic but he's gone. I'm just not a big fan of the gospel group. They are not the best choir in the world, or whatever it is they said about themselves, and they're probably going to go a lot further than they should.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:47, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Early predictions for next week? I think the four unknowns, like tonight, are all getting cut. Animation Crew were awesome in the auditions but them being montaged back then will probably work against them. As for Johnny and Benton, who has the better chance? They're showing us Benton a lot more in all the previews. Could both make it?

Oleksiy, Oz, Mountain Faith, and Triple Threat are also strong contenders. I think Brittney could be leaving us. She did not receive unanimous praise during her first audition, and we already have stronger female singers in the next round.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:13, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, and I add Paul into the strong contenders list, too.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:14, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

I can't be the only one that thought Adien should of made it instead of Ira right? This has to be the first time someone with 4 standing ovastions got cut.~ 03:47, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Wes Barker
I'm a bit confused as to what category would be most appropriate for Wes Barker's act. I agree with you that there was no danger involved, but there wasn't magic involved either. Just like Michael Griffin from three seasons ago, who escaped from a straitjacket with no serious risk involved. Wes calls himself a "Stunt Magician" so that's why I added those two categories there in the first place.

JayDK103 (talk) 10:17, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

I found this post from Benton which is from a while back: https://www.facebook.com/bentonblount/posts/545971395488926

It's kinda sad. But, unlike past occurences, I won't say anything to him about it.

Judge Cuts 4
Check this out: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/americas-got-talent/episodes/280608/

It shows that the Judge Cuts 4 will be when the Top 36 are revelaed, prehaps the wildcard plus 20 are in the same episode? Also the 10 year special is set for July 29, 2015 and there's gonna be a World's Got Talent on August 5, 2015.~ 18:41, July 23, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe he isn't like that anymore, but I think chances are that he is, and a reason he's not posting personal opinion posts and stuff like that right now is because he's still active on AGT and he doesn't want to jeopardize losing votes. Maybe he'll be back to his old self after the show. There's this guy on his page though, who I am assuming either works with Benton or co-runs his page with him, who's been posting these conservative political posts on his private page, including showing open support for Michael Savage and his anti-liberal works, so I wouldn't find it hard to believe that BB is on the same page. I am a huge LGBT supporter, which includes all four of those letters (lesbian gay bi trans), and pretty much everyone I talk to knows that. Even Benton knows that. Even the other guy I mentioned knows that. So far they don't say anything about it but after the show, who knows what will happen. Maybe they'll kick me off too just like Jimmy Rose did. Anti-LGBT, or pretty much any conservative opinions, are ones that I just can't stand or come to accept. it's how I am, and there's good reason for that. it is statistical fact that a lot of LGBT people are committing suicide and/or are being killed, yet the religious right-wingers keep claiming that they are the ones who are being "discriminated against", "judged", or being the "victims of intolerance". Yet the last time I checked, no Christian has ever been led to suicide by someone who didn't agree with their "lifestyle". Yeah, honestly it's a really touchy issue with me in that regard. I am a 22 year old who self-identifies as bi (although swaying more to the straight side) yet I still feel that way. So yeah. That's a huge reason why I always get irritated when a country singer shows up on AGT. Soul, R&B, rappers, rock and such, not so much. But country, yes. For many reasons. Not only because they always go far no matter how badly they do, but the negative stereotype regarding their beliefs and ignorance towards minorities is another, and sadly, more often than not, that stereotype is true, as shown by BB's post from two years ago.

JayDK103 (talk) 08:43, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I won't bring it up on his page until he gives me reason to. Same goes with his friend.

I think he very much has a chance to win. Nothing's official until it's official. We've never had a montaged auditionee win, sure, but before last year we've never had a magician win either. I think it could all happen.

Just Introducing Myself
Hey thanks for checking in on me. Anyways I just wanted to know if you have any sort of citation standards for posting the upcoming judge cut acts because all I'm really doing is listing acts that have confirmed their future performances on twitter and are in the previews. So far I've got 19 out of the 20 for week 3. The only one I don't know is the red-haired lady in the preview I linked below. Is that Vita Radionova?

You could very well be right, but all we can do at this point is speculate, regardless of how much truth or logic is involved. At the end of the day, if Benton wins, it will mostly be the show's fault since they gave him that chance. But we'll only know for sure what happens next week.

Remember, Benton could be the better singer, but Johnny has the far better backstory. Remember how Jaycob last year had the huge story and the mediocre voice, yet he still outlasted Justin Rhodes and Sal Gonzalez.

As for Jimmy, who I hate bringing up by the way, the fact that he showed off his songwriting skills in his audition must have also helped him a ton. A lot of people liked his song. Benton just sang a cover. So far.

AGT Forums
Hello again, I think we should open up a forum on this wiki so we can have a lot of community discusions on and all with multiple people~ 04:20, July 25, 2015 (UTC)
