4.At Last
At Last is an Asian Boy Band, and for that fact alone they rule, because they say their parents wanted them all to go to Medical School and become doctors. There is nothing more satisying than people acknowledging their steretype and then squashing it. There song is actually quite awesome, and then they go into some kind of beatbox madness that makes Brandy go like this:
5.Syd the Kid
Syd the Kid is a 9 year old comedian. Yawn. She's not so much funny as she is kind of precocious. Her jokes don't make any sense, and she makes fun of fat black people for being fat and black. It'd be funny if it were humorous social commentary on the fact that some African Americans happen to be overweight. Now that would be talent coming from a 9 year old. But she's cute, which is a talent I guess. The judges ADORE her. She is funnier than most of the people on this season of Last Comic Standing , so if Stella is going to get her shot at fame, why not Syd the Kid. She's going through.
6. Kenny Shelton
Kenny Shelton is a crazy juggler. I don't know whether crazy is part of his act or not, but it's part of Kenny. I can't tell if he's being a little nutty and bad on purpose or what, but either way he drops his juggling equipment almost as often as he catches them. Piers, buzzes him, followed by the Hoff. Brandy is intrigued by the shiny objects flying about and is forced to buzz by her co-judges. Then Kenny gets very angry, and you wouldn't like him when he is angry:
He juggles the swords without incident and is sent through to the next round, mostly out of fear or injury to the Hoff.
7.Shadow Dancing
Basically these weirdos wanted to get on national television. Mission accomplished.
8. Bernie Barker
Bernie Barker is a male stripper who is older than dirt. No seriously, he was roommates with Jesus back in the day. Whatever, he takes his clothes off and The Hoff loves it:
No one buzzes until things start to get really ugly
ANYONE ELSE THINK IT'S WEIRD THAT THEY WERE PREPARED WITH AN AMERICA'S GOT TALENT CENSOR GRAPHIC?
Piers says no, but the HOFF stands up to show the crowd his errection so the know how enthusiastic is about Bernie going through to the next round. That leaves Brandy, who is looking for backup dancers for her next video and she sends Bernie through. What was his talent exactly, besides making me vomit up my dinner?
9. Alexis Jordan
Alexis Jordan is going to sing Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing. Brandy once sang with Whitney Houston in the TV-movie version of Cinderella, and Whitney literally ate her with her voice, so she wants to see what this girl's got. And boy does she deliver. It's an amazing performance. Well, it's amazing in terms of this contest. But the girl is good. And she's only 14. Which makes Brandy all misty-eyed. Alexis reminds her of herself at that age, everything form her look to her age to the tone of her voice. Huh? What? The shows not called Brandy's Got Talent, and there is a reason for that. Look as I mentioned earlier, I'm a closet Brandy fan, I admit it. But by "fan" I mean I can shake my booty to Talk About Our Love. On Moesha's best day she didn't sound this good.
10. Eddie Haskell and his Singing Saw
Eddie Haskell and his Singing Saw get about 15 seconds, before all three judges give him the triple X. He's pisst, but dude you play a saw. I'll see you on the subway.
11. Kevin Johnson
KJ has two puppets with him so Piers, gives him a premature buzzing. But Brandy and The Hoff, know better. They wait it out, and Kevin and his little puppet friends, actually kick some ass. He does this whole bit where he throws his voice while he's doing his ventriloquism act, that was a total mindfreak. Piers takes back his buzz and Kevin is unanymously put through.
12. Kathy Kavanaugh
Kathy Kavanaugh is a sweet hippie burnout, who plays the harp and sings celestial music. She's not bad, but I think that's probably because she seems very nice and I don't want to say anyting too mean about her. Piers, feels bad telling her no, but is very kind to her. The Hoff, on the other hand, laughs in her face.

The Svan watched the show due to a family request. You did not mention the most irritating portion of the entire broadcast. The judges repeatedly hit each other’s buttons so the whole thing was beyond ridiculous. God, if only I had those two hours back.

Worst show EVER! They should just rename it "The Price Of Making A Deal Searching For A Gong Star Show" because there is NOTHING original about this show at all.
STOP STEALING FROM OTHER TV SHOWS!!! Whats up with the way they call them down? I'll bet $201 on the showcase, Reg!
And apparently the audience is asked to dress up in wierd costumes ala Let's Make A Deal.
The Hoff is the only good thing about this show. I compeletly lost respect for Brandy after she was defending her lack of a current hit record to that one guy. And Simon, if the British guy on your show isnt you. No one cares.

The singers are mediocre and the jugglers drop stuff. Even the novelty acts suck. RappingGranny=yawnsville.
I THOUGHT Hoff, recovering from his Idol sobfest, would be my saving grace, but for me his whole awkward, stupid-funny thing wore off and after 20 minutes he was giving me a stomach ache... seriously I can't deal. He's like the person in the room you try your hardest not to talk to.
Props to my girl Brandy though. She'll always be my Cinderella.
Oh, and I actually think Syd the kid was the one pretty OK act. Sort of like a young raven with an edge? Maybe not...

I must admit I really liked the finger snap guy. He was by far the best one.

I hate novelty acts. A lot. Especially the ones who take themselves way too seriously (I'm talking to YOU, bird-lady!).

Not so bad really. I like variety acts, it beats the constant singing shows.
The RappinGranny was awful though, worst of the night.
It was fairly entertaining and gave me a few laughs.

Strangely enough, I didn't mind "Rappin' Granny", although by the end of the show I was sick and tired of them teasing her as we went out and returned from commercial break, which kinda ruined it for me.

I really tried to watch this show, but I quit after about 20 minutes. It got old really quickly, and was just painful to watch.

The thing with the juggler who dropped everything was clearly staged. He dropped the stuff on purpose, his argument with Piers and Piers's offer to let him juggle the knives was scripted, and he could really juggle all along. They just put it in there to liven things up a bit.
I liked that little girl who sang "I Have Nothing", mostly because I like to sing that song in the shower. Syd the Kid didn't have the greatest material, but I guess it's ok because she's 8.
The Hoff is by far the best part of the show though. He's like your weird uncle who awkwardly uses slang, like, "I thought you were off the hook!"

I just want to state for the record that it was Mr. C who wanted to watch this, but being that it is summer, no BB7 yet and nothing on, I plopped down and checked it out too.
Urgh, it was as cheesy as I thought it'd be.
And The Swan is right, the pushing of other's buttons was completely irritating.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't impressed by Rappin' G-ma. Loooved The DH's (or The Hoff's) dancin'. That was the best part. Ok, that and the Regis balloon.

I've never seen this show, and I am so glad. So...so glad.
However, I must say, Brandi looks *just* like Star freaking Jones in that recap pic.
.... so glad.
