Welcome to Pure America’s Got Talent

America’s Got Talent is finally back. Woot! Is it just me or did they start early this season? The show certainly focused heavily on the new judge, Howie Mandel, but I think it’s pretty easy to see that Howie Mandel is so much better than the Hoff. Also, be sure to listen to my interview with Howie Mandel. Also, Marianya did a nice job listing all of the good acts from tonight’s America’s Got Talent Season 5 premiere including links to the acts online.

Now on to the videos of the best performances from tonight’s America’s Got Talent 2010 premiere:

Future Funk‘s Audition – Future Funk hopes to bring the audience to their feet!

Swingshift Sideshow‘s Audition – Can this freaky group win the judges over?

Haspop‘s Audition – Will this “Barbie Girl” win over the audience with his dance moves?

Maricar‘s Audition – Maricar has an interesting way of commanding attention with her art.

Michael Grimm‘s Audition – This performer wins over the audience with his smooth vocals.
