Anyone who watches the competition reality shows pretty much knows that it won’t always be fair or even good. The producers purposely let untalented, crazy, or even disgusting people on the show just to get ratings. That’s no surprise! But if America’s Got Talent is supposed to be even a little legitimate, what happened last night?

A 60-something woman with sky-high red, bushy hair, painted-on black eyebrows, dark red lipstick that went way beyond her mouth “attempted” to sing and play the keyboard. She was horrible from the start and the audience immediately starting giving the X sign to cancel her. Piers was the first judge to X her but the other two just let her continue. Then when her time was up (they actually let her finish), Howie and Sharon voted her through to Las Vegas commenting that they thought she was interesting. Did they forget the show is not called “America’s Got Interesting People” but “America’s Got Talent?”

The show went from bad to worse when a 10-year-old girl, Nina Waga Mojares, with four back-up singers/dancers was amazing and DID have talent but yet all three judges voted NO on her saying she just wasn’t ready for Vegas. They agreed she was talented but had other specific, nit-picky comments about her performance. Watch her performance and I think you’ll agree that she was amazing!

What were they thinking?

If the show starts to go away from the main purpose of the show, which is talent, and borders on weird stuff  just for ratings, they will lose in the end.
