America’s Got Talent Tour

The latest fad in reality TV is to send the various performers from the reality TV shows on a performance tour. It makes complete sense when you think about all the various dance and singing reality TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and Nashville Star. Even MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew is going on tour.

Even with all the reality TV shows going on tour, I think America’s Got Talent could quite possibly be one of the best reality tv shows to go on tour. It just makes sense to have an America’s Got Talent tour. Consider the variety of talent you’d see on an America’s Got Talent tour. Many of the people are probably good enough to do their very own tour one day. Together it makes an awesome combination.

The question is whether they’ll be an America’s Got Talent tour or not. I swear I read in one of the newspapers that there was going to be an America’s Got Talent tour 2008 here in the US. Only problem is I can’t remember where the article is that talked about the AGT tour. Has anyone else heard about plans for an America’s Got Talent tour?

On a side note, it was announced that Britain’s Got Talent announced the Britain’s Got Talent tour back in April. My guess is that the America’s Got Talent tour would do similar things. Just hopefully in more cities (like the one I live in).

On 17 April 2008 it was announced there was to be a 13-date live tour, visiting the UK’s major cities during the month of June, featuring the semi-finalists, the finalists and the winner from this current series, along with a few surprises. It has been confirmed that Stephen Mulhern will be hosting the tour, which started on 6 June. None of the judging panel will be present, and there will be no live voting. The tour was later extended to 22 performances, including matinee’s, after high demand for tickets. The tour stars all 10 finalists, as well as semi-finalists Tracy Lee Collins & Anya Sparks. The tour also features a duet with Faryl Smith and Andrew Johnston.
