America’s Got Talent

Piers Morgan might really have a neurological problem that makes him keep hitting the buzzer so fast. Tonight on NBC, America’s Got Talent returns to remind viewers that it’s not only  American Idol who has a British judge with a tooth for judgement. The season premiere was like the other season which showed us the talented, the not so talented and the plain old hippies who just want to be on T.V. We also learned that it is still Sharon Osbourne who is the center of the show and Howie Mandel will just do fine taking over the role of David Hasselhoff.

The most bizarre performance so far is the voice coach with the beard jewelry who reinterpreted the song sung by Lee DeWyze, Hallelujah. The audience gave him a standing ovation and was almost able to finish his performance before the Piers Morgan buzzed him to stop.

We have the most bizarre moment and now how about the most disappointing moment? It was from a seventy two year old who tapped dance and was buzzed out despite of him winning over the audience.  Who will be this season’s of America’s Got Talent winners?
