Each year I’ve been doing my best to list all the various America’s Got Talent music. I’m actually trying to get the people from America’s Got Talent to send me the music from the shows, but that is still in the works.

It’s really hard to figure out the various music from the America’s Got Talent auditions, because it’s not very standard. However, with the help of all of you out there, I think we can create a pretty good list of music that’s used on the America’s Got Talent premiere. If you know a song, then leave a comment and I’ll update the post with the songs as people share them or as I find them.

David Johnson – wrote a song about David Hasselhoff (I must find this song somewhere and I’ll link it when I do Check out the AGT video tribute to David Hasselhoff)

In one of Piers finest (and jerkiest) moments on the show, he buzzes the plate spinning Liang Patti at the most opportune time. Her reaction after almost makes you cry for her. I’d love to see Liang do this live. I can’t imagine spinning 1 pate on a stick. Forget about spinning 8 at the same time. Ok, enjoy this flashback to season 2 of America’s Got Talent:

I’m always interested in the music that is used on America’s Got Talent. I believe that the song Liang Patti used is called Farfraes Dance by Tom Toomey from South Africa Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I’m not 100% sure, but you can also listen to Tom Toomey and the Monfi Casts perform it live in this video:

I’m still working to find all of the videos from tonight’s America’s Got Talent finals performance show. I think we can all agree that every person on the show tonight has talent. The question is which one has more talent and deserves $1 million. Take a look and let me know who you like the best. I’ll be posting a new poll soon along with each of the videos as I’m able to find them.

Donald Braswell Sang “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban

The America’s Got Talent Top 5 was chock full of singers and musicians so of course that means the America’s Got Talent finals was chock full of some great music. Here’s the list of music performed on tonight’s America’s Got Talent finals:
