Il Divo on America’s Got Talent, Stupid Viewers and Howie Mandel Naked
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I really enjoyed the performance of Il Divo on America’s Got Talent. It was a full scale production with some great singers. I loved it. In case you missed it, there’s the video below.
Il Divo Performs!
Turns out, some viewers didn’t agree with me and hated their performance. However, their response says it all. Here’s one example (although there were others that said something similar).
I thought it was America got Talent Not Mexico got talent, hated the group that sang the mexican song!!!! was not a good pick for the show that is titled America!!!!
Really? Did they say Il Divo sang a Mexican song? Really? First, that was Italian, not Mexican. Second, the idea that American’s don’t enjoy and don’t represent other cultures is just silly. America is the melting pot of cultures. I like to describe America as taking the best from every culture and enjoying all the best parts of the other cultures. One of those is Italian music. To say singing something in Italian isn’t American is just stupid. Hopefully this person is in the minority.
Even more viewers complained about Howie Mandel being naked on the show with many remarking that America’s Got Talent is a family show. I actually agree with them wholeheartedly. It was poor taste on the producers part and should have never happened. They could have made the joke with just the door shot. The naked Howie Mandel was inappropriate, unnecessary and terrible TV. Seems in line with the theme throughout this AGT season of the judges being terrible.
I predict the final will be between Landau Murphy Jr. and Illuminate- it’s a tossup!
At this point, any of the four have their future sealed with all the publicity they’ve had.
Good luck to you all!
Hi Joanne,
Last night was amazing and nail-biting. John, if you are reading this, YOU KNOW how much I LOVE OPERA, so having IL DIVO on last night, was awesome………Love it.
Also, I agree with Joanne, it probably will be between both acts, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. andI I lluminate and regardless of the outcome, it has been a banner year for all types of groups.
I was a bit disappointed that Landon Swank did not go through, but his future is solid, I am sure there are talent scouts waiting to lap him up. He certainly is a very slick magician.
Now then, bring on the final show. I can hardly wait.

I can believe the producers would display such a distasteful event on a family show like they did….It was very inappropriate and totally indecent on a show where kids would be watching…That is a new low for AGT….I am very upset and it will cost them some viewers and thank GOD I am 47 and my kids are grown….Someone needs to talk to the producers “sternly” and make them realize they already had the viewers and a naked “Howie Mandel” was a bit over the top….All money ain’t “GOOD MONEY”….
Personally, I think the only way the final four could have worked out better was to have The Kinetic King instead of Silhouettes. Their act is good… very good, in fact… but it’s hardly original, and it’s been done better, to boot. Anyone remember the Oscar telecast from a few years ago?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfh1fAFBdqI
wow R.J. thanx for the info, we thought silhouettes were a new thing! changes my thinking and my voting.
