6. Bobby Badfingers
I'm not on the Bobby Badfingers bandwagon, unlike many people. Well, not many, cause only 4 people are watching this show, so unlike 75% of other people. Last time his snapping made my joints hurt, now his whole act just made my head hurt. He didn't do that much snapping, but rather spun his hands about like crazy to "Conga" by Gloria Estefan like the world's most amped up wedding performer. The judges like him but not the performance. Piers admits that like Dave the Horn Guy, he should loathe Bobby, but he doesn't. He compares him to another one of his guilty pleasures, Baywatch, and seems almost oblivious that this might offend the Hoff.
7. Sugar and Spice
Okay, I'm going to try to get through this with some dignity, but I hated everything about this act. Every. Second. Of. It. I know that these girls are part of a huge family, and don't have a lot of money and blah blah blah. That's no reason for 7 girls under the age of 13 to be allowed to make us sit through 2 minutes of the most inane rendition of "We Are Family" ever. Cute is not a talent. Cute is a phase. This coupled with the experience I had seeing The Lion King on Broadway a few weeks ago has made my precocious kid tolerance reach an all-time low. Stay out of my path, Dakota Fanning. The Hoff gives them a check, because they are sweet. Piers gives them a check, because he has a soft spot for sweet, cheeky little girls. Brandy, however, has to give them an X, because they suck hard! I knew there was a reason I stood by you all these years Moesha.
8. N'Versity
I'm glad N'Versity gets called up to perform - they really want this. Every time the camera pans the crowd these three girls are huddled together holding hands and praying to get the call. It's sweet. They have an annoying handshake, but I let it slide - the girls can really sing. I don't know how exciting and dynamic it is, but they have nice voices. Brandy agrees, but doesn't dig their lack of chemistry. She's really being tough tonight, but honest and helpful. Let's give Randy Jackson the boot and put Brandy in his place on this new season of American Idol. A couple more surgeries and Randy Jackson is going to turn into Brandy anyway, so no one would even notice. Piers and The Hoff couldn't disagree more. They think they are great. The Hoff ogles their underage bodies, and it's painfully creepy. Brandy again chimes in that what they are wearing is completely inappropriate. Score more points for Brandy, for trying to encourage young girls not to act like Paris Hilton to get famous. I won't however, bring up the fact that she got knocked up out of wedlock and had a sham marriage for two years. Because that would be wrong.
9. Mark the Knife
Get it, like Mack the Knife? But with Mark? I didn't get it until just now. TV really does make you stupid. The world's most dangerous comic follows up his last flaming knife laden bowling ball/Scorpion down the pants trick with the act that got him banned in 3 countries. He is going to balance a running lawnmower on his face while having people throw lettuce into it. Yawn. I feel like Johnny Knoxville must have done something similar to this a few years ago on Jackass. Look, if crazy was the new funny, TVgasm would be getting all excited about the new Courtney Love sitcom this fall.
10. Leonid the Magnificent
Brother's out of drag, and with that the mystery is gone. Now instead of dressing like an angel, he is dressed like a circus act who plays in a large cube. It's boring and all the novelty the guy had has completely diminished. It's funny - people use the term 15 minutes of fame so loosely nowadays, and here it is completely relating to someone. I think Leonid had literally 15 minutes of fame. Good for you!
Nyet.
The judges are supposed to decide tonight on who their pick is but there is a standstill. The Hoff and Brandy vs. Piers. Piers doesn't want the show to turn into American Idol and only have musical acts go through to the finals. This kind of destroys the mystery as to who they are fighting over. The Hoff and Brandy want All That and Piers probably is rooting for Realis. They say they'll make their decision on tomorrow's results show, when the audience winner is revealed.

Umnata, I can't decide if you're brave or dumb (no offense intended). I mean, to still be watching this travesty is amazing. I have trouble just watching the clips on The Soup!
I think it would be better for Brandy to replace Paula rather than Randy- as long as they can get Randy to stop calling everyone dog. Paula needs a long rest in rehap before she goes in front of the camera again.
How the hell does "The Hoff" have the nerve to critizie anyone?!? We've seen the music videos, sir. Germany has very poor taste in entertainment.

I only watch this show because my boyfriend worked at the casting in NYC so it was fun during the early rounds to see the people that he saw in person. Now I watch for the Hoff! But seriously... My boyfriend is really smart and had this idea: They say they don't want it to be another American Idol, so next season (shudder) they should divide people into categories - singing, dancing, throwing around 65 pound women, being Russian and dressing in drag, etc. Then they can have the best singer, the best dancer, the best lady-thrower, and the best Russian in drag all compete against each other.
PS thank you Umnata -- I thought Sugar and Spice were terrible too. Good for Brandy for not being sucked in. And N'Versity (What does that mean anyway? Apparently they got their name by praying. Hmm.) were nowhere near as good as All That and I'm sick of Piers and the Hoff drooling over any female in a sexy-ish outfit, especially if they are 16 years old!

Well if the little girls are considered "cute" not talent.... then I do not get why the judges let the "rappin granny" in... she's cute not talented.... bionca is talent. jojo

Please keep the recaps of this show coming. Do listen to the negative feedback from People. This show is great!, yes it has done before, even in highschools (variety shows or talent shows) but it is a breeze of fresh air. This show gives you variety, singers, dancers, musicians, jugglers, etc. The judges make you laugh, the contestants make you laugh, and like I said before it gives you variety. I do think that other shows such as So you think you can dance, Project runaway, real world are #$@@ because who are the regular Joes of the word to endure 1-2 hours of dancing, cat walkiing or fighting, obnocious people arguing, etc. But America's got talent just give us the act and makes us laugh!
