I'm never excited to see a singer; I know exactly what they're going to do; sing a song and sound exactly like they've sung before. It's the variety acts that keep me invested. I have no idea what trick/comedy Piff will do tonight, whether Paul can step it up even further, whether Uzeyer's non-ladder trick will pay off. Alicia will just sing another song with a big voice. Sharon will puff off another ballad. Alondra will sing another Mariachi song with some big notes.

The personalities of these people bother me a lot less than they bother Jay. I agree with this stuff 100%, it's also why I don't like 'generic' dance acts. We already know what they are going to do the next week, dance. I wouldn't mind Americas Got Talent being renamed "Americas got Varitey" and it only being the variety acts (All acts minus Singing and Dancing)
