AGT - America's Got Talent Season 13 - Page 5 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

No one watching the final? I actually thought the comedians both had good material and deliveries. I wonder about that blindfold with the acrobats. It used to be so dangerous that they could only use it for one stunt and now they can for the whole act? Shin was good but not sure what to make of the end. I would have liked to see him stay at the piano longer and do magic while playing. The teen singer was doing ok when she reined it in, then went back to being an abomination. That cheerleading group seems to be a favorite so I watched them this time, but still don't get it. FF through the rest.

All the acts seemed to improve in the final so it was definitely worth watching, for me anyway. Not sure if Shin will win. The crowd seemed to love some of the other acts.

watching now...will live blog:

violin guy - meh
opera guy - cheesy and boring
old woman comic - I like her, but her material is very weak
mom singer - great voice, zero stage presence. And why is she in an outfit she could wear to the local PTA meeting?

Zurcharo - I mean...it's pretty and kinda cool...but dance troupes bore me
Tourette's comic - not bad, but not great. I hate acts that rely on a handicap, tho.
Rocker girl - She is all over the place, but man, she's fun to watch

Card Trick Guy - Very good. Still no clue how he does it all.
Trapeze Duo - they're good, but this isn't a finale act. It's a side show.
Greatest Man In All The World Singer - his voice is fantastic, but I did not like that arrangement

Someone needs to put Mel B. down, like a lame horse. She's embarrassing.

My top 3:

Card Trick Guy
Rocker Girl
Mom Singer

Who I think will win:

Greatest Man In All The World Singer is a stone cold lock

****

Pretty lame singer

I don't know why we are using spoilers. You shouldn't be looking in here if you have not watched it yet, duh.

Spoiler:

Dominic, I thought you were in Vegas, how were you watching it so soon?

When they got down to the final three, I was thinking that $1 million divided among 45 people wasn't going to go very far.

I couldn't believe in the final he forgot the lyrics twice (It's VALLEY not river). Terrible.

Also the dance troupe Zurcaroh won a golden buzzer on last years France's Got Talent.

How did Shin move the hearts around on that card? I also thought the piano magic was the worst part of the act. You see him pulling cards out from under the piano edge.

You know the final 10 voting seems unfair to contestants who have won more than one person a
In the same entertainment category as themselves. Voting for a male singer ends up being split between two people. Same goes for the two female singers and for the two comedians. The only magician and the only Dance troupe in top 10 did very well. Last year the only ventriloquist in the top 10 won AGT. I think he deserves it but would Shin Lim have won if he had another good magician in the top 10 competing for votes?

Excellent point, I never thought about that. It's compounded even more by allowing each viewer to vote 30-40 times.

Sword Swallower was the most insane "danger" act I've ever seen. By a long, long, way. That was absolutely insane. I literally was watching that last trick between my fingers.

Susan Boyle is so bizarre looking....but she sings well!

Love the dog act...mostly because the girl is so damn cute.

Clairvoyants has to be a simple trick....making them all choose what they already want them to choose. But damned if I can figure it out.
