Welcome to Pure America's Got Talent

Word on the street is that tonight is going to be the America’s Got Talent YouTube auditions. I must admit that I didn’t have a chance to really look over the various acts they chose from the YouTube auditions. So, I’ll be going into tonight blind. Which I think is a good thing since hopefully the acts will be a bit of a surprise.

Of course, I think the acts could be incredibly entertaining or a major flop. I remember the old MySpace auditions were basically a flop. However, last year, Jackie Evancho came out of the YouTube auditions and she’s doing pretty well.

What do you think will happen on tonight’s America’s Got Talent YouTube auditions? Fame or Flop?

I’m not sure about seeing all these previews of next week’s America’s Got Talent. Ruins a little bit of the surprise factor. Although, if you’re like me and can’t resist, check out these video’s from next week’s America’s Got Talent 2011.

I just can’t help myself. I have to post all the America’s Got Talent preview videos. I can’t wait to see the variety of talent that they bring again this year. Yes, it’s my summer guilty pleasure for sure. That and So You Think You Can Dance.

A look at some of the amazing acts coming to America’s Got Talent this summer on season 6 of America’s Got Talent. Get excited. The America’s Got Talent 2011 premiere is just around the corner.

The world’s premiere talent search, America’s Got Talent 2011, is back on NBC on May 31st, 2011. That’s right, the premiere for America’s Got Talent season 6 is just around the corner. Here’s a video preview of AGT 2011 to get you excited.

One of my favorite parts of Pure America’s Got Talent is seeing all the really amazing talent before they make it on America’s Got Talent. The biggest act we’ve featured on this site before they were on America’s Got Talent has got to be Jackie Evancho. Although, there’s been quite a few others as well.

One of the disappointing parts of it is seeing some really amazing talent that auditions for America’s Got Talent and hasn’t made it on the show (hopefully yet). I believe Jackie Evancho (really her mother) came to this site a season or two before she made it on the show as well.

I just recently got an email updating me on someone who I think is a great singer and could do very well on America’s Got Talent 2011. Her name is Casey Cattie and no doubt she competes in probably the most difficult category of all on America’s Got Talent: female singers. The good part is that they always like to cast a couple beautiful female singers and so I think Casey Cattie has a great chance of filling that part of the America’s Got Talent 2011 casting.

We first posted about Casey Cattie in 2009 (videos have been made private) and then followed up with this video of Casey Cattie in 2010. Now, here’s Casey Cattie’s 2011 America’s Got Talent audition video:

Certainly her voice is really improving, but the most striking thing for me is seeing how much more grown up she looks in that video compared to when I first saw her. Part of it makes me feel like I’m getting old, but mostly I’m excited to see Casey still pursuing her dream. Sometimes when she went after the big high notes if felt a bit like screaming, but that could possibly have been the recording and the microphone. Hard to say. She looks really comfortable on stage and I hope that America’s Got Talent gives her a chance this season. Otherwise, maybe she could also try out for $5 million on Simon Cowell’s new show: X Factor.

Update: Word is that they might not be an air guitar band after all, but a real band. Funny that the show would name them the Airpocalypse Wannabes on their site then.

I got a note from a member of the air guitar group that was on the last season of America’s Got Talent: Airpocalypse. It said:

Hi All! Obviously, we think this is great… http://americasgottalentauditions.com/new/node/309 Airpocalypse Loves You! ~X

To save you having to click the link. It has a picture (seen below) on the official AGT audition website of what’s labeled “Airpocalypse Wannabes.” I guess we should have seen it coming. I think Piers (if he’s back) will have a field day ripping them in favor of the originals. Although, I have to say that the note from the original Airpocalypse shows what classy guys they are. Makes me feel good they made it as far as they did.

Today and tomorrow are the auditions for America’s Got Talent 2011. You can probably still just show up tomorrow if you’re interested in auditioning. We just got our first person who auditioned in LA share their experience at the AGT auditions. Here it is:

Hey,

We just finished out LA auditions for AGT. We went to the first audition in front of judges, were asked to wait, then were called to a second audition (played the same song) in front of the executive producers. They then took a picture of us and then were asked to wait for an interview. We gave the interview to a staff member who entered our info and then were done. We arrived at 4:00am and left at around 3:15pm. I feel really good , except for the fact that a few acts that made it to the interview stage like us were also asked to wait and were filmed for what seemed to be a TV spot. We were not. We will just have to wait and see. Thanks

Thanks for sharing. If you have other experiences, please leave them in the comments below for others to learn about the process.

Well, this weekend was the America’s Got Talent 2011 auditions in Denver, CO. I’m trying to remember if this is the first time that America’s Got Talent has been to Denver. Maybe I’m mistaken, but I don’t remember them having gone there before. I’m sure one of my readers will correct me if I’m wrong.

Either way, I want to welcome those who were part of the America’s Got Talent 2011 auditions in Denver, we want to hear from you. What was it like. What did you experience? How did the process go? How many producers of America’s Got Talent did you see when you auditioned? Let’s hear your stories about auditioning in Denver for America’s Got Talent Season 6.

Here’s the note on the official America’s Got Talent audition site about the Denver auditions:

It was the our first trip to Denver and the turnout was amazing. Thanks to all the great acts that turned up.

All acts that are moving on in the compeition will be notified by March 2010. Only those acts that move on will be contacted. We will update this blue box when all the calls have been made.
