Melissa pointed out in the comments how this season of America’s Got Talent has done a MUCH better job of not “pimping” various acts over other acts. Sure, they give some acts more exposure than others, but last year it was sad how much they promoted certain acts like: Voices of Glory and Kevin Skinner. It was so unfair!
This year, they’ve done a pretty great job not doing this as much. Probably the person who comes closest to it is Alice (Precious’ Mother) getting a little extra promotion. However, that kind of makes sense that the show would want to piggyback the popularity of Precious.
While there’s been a lot of complaining about the top 48 acts that they’ve chosen for AGT Hollywood, I want to also give props to the show for decreasing the pimping that was so ugly and distasteful last year.

Instead of worrying about good talented people having to be “let go”, sure, focus on the winner, but why don’t you use the people who didn’t make the top 48, as an opening act for the winner. All big acts have an opening act. This way, you could give each “loser”, some of them, as the opening act for the winner. They’ll need an opening act, anyway, don’t you think? That way the judges don’t have to sadly tell so many people to go home. do you like my idea?
I hope my comments will help the winner’s show, wherever that is, Vegas, or wherever. I’ve been a professional actor, and BMI songwriter for many years. I know how to produce a show, though not on that scale, of course. My phone number is: REMOVED. I hope this helps. I know it will help the three judges!
Shari, I think in doing that, they would be telling the audience they’d made a mistake. That’s probably why they have the opening acts be the runners up in the show.
P.S. Do you think it’s wise to put your phone number here up on the web not knowing who in the (literally) the world can get hold of it???????
Shari,
Actually, that’s kind of what they’ve done in the past. They just haven’t said it on the show. On the show they don’t want to diminish the value of winning. However, 2 seasons ago, they had like 5 of the top 10 all performing in the Las Vegas show.
