Siro-A have received their share of hatred and racism. "This is America's Got Talent, not Asian Dance Hour", "They are not American citizens so why are they here", etc. Those are the most delusional. It just makes me root for Siro-A even more.

Jimmy Rose was not only a mediocre country singer, but also an all-around shameful and bad person. I've had a personal (well, as "personal" as the internet gets) experience with him last year which made me lose every ounce of respect I ever could have, for him. All I can say is, thank God both Taylor and Kenichi kicked his ass.

I usually have a strong dislike for country singers, especially if they come on with a sob story. Kevin Skinner is the worst winner AGT has ever seen. His finale attempt at Aerosmith was God-awful.

Taking the "success" of former country singers into account, I am worried about Benton this year. He's getting more fans and support each day, and at this point, I don't think the fact that he had a montaged audition matters at all anymore. Will he make it past the semis? Probably.
