Lackluster 6th Episode of America’s Got Talent Except Grandma Lee

Ok, so I think I’ve used the term lackluster a few too many times with America’s Got Talent this year. What can I say, it’s just been good but not great. I’m not sure if they’re just not showing enough quality acts or if it’s that enough quality acts haven’t been showing up. I just haven’t been impressed.

That said, this episode had no one who will win America’s Got Talent this year, but it was a decent show with more entertaining talent than any of the other previous shows.

Grandma Lee might just have been the highlight for me. Although, I must admit that she was funnier during the judges comments than she was doing her set. However, she did have some pretty funny jokes in it. The Krispy Kreme joke was funny. Check out the video of Grandma Lee to see what I mean:

I know that America’s Got Talent wants us to like Barbara Padilla, but she was another walking cliche. Cancer Survivor, lost voice, couldn’t sing again, family etc etc etc. She was an OK singer, but I must admit that I wasn’t really impressed. She has the instrument to be good, but she wasn’t that polished. I was just all around unimpressed with her performance. Piers didn’t stand for it and so he wasn’t impressed either. His comments show that he was just being a pawn to let her tell her story. He’ll be kicking her to the curb in Las Vegas. Maybe some of you will disagree, but I didn’t think she was very good at all:

The fact that these were the only 2 America’s Got Talent videos on the NBC site says a lot about this episode of America’s Got Talent. No one else is really worth mentioning for more than a half a breathe.

AcroDunk – I wasn’t as impressed as the judges. Definitely is an awesome half time show or something like that. I just don’t see it being an entire show in Las Vegas.

Timez 2 – Did this remind you of Flava Flav or was it just me?

Anna Pipoyan – Belly dancers always get Piers and Morgan. At least attractive ones.

Eclipse – I had just told my wife that they’d never had a decent rapper on America’s Got Talent and so I was glad to see that Eclipse was actually quite decent.

Eleisha Miller – Wonderful personality. I’m just not sure if personality counts as a talent in this contest.

Here’s to another week of America’s Got Talent. I don’t know why, but I’m already ready to get to the Las Vegas show where the real talent starts to show itself.
