Preview of Acts on America’s Got Talent Season 7

Yesterday I posted a really short teaser clip of America’s Got Talent 2012 and Howard Stern. Today, NBC has posted a much longer clip which shows clips of a WHOLE lot more acts that are going to be on America’s Got Talent season 7. Plus, you get to have an idea of how Howard Stern is going to be a judge on the show since there are quite a few clips of his responses to the acts. Check out the AGT 2012 video:

In the comments on the NBC site for this video you can see a preview of coming reactions to Howard Stern on America’s Got Talent. First those who don’t like Howard Stern:

ARE U PEOPLE CRAZY? HOWARD STERN IS THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I CAN’T STAND HIM AND I KNOW A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE SAME. I THINK U ARE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF VIEWERS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then, the first response to the above comment:

If that is how you "really" feel, it would be in your best interest to not tune in. If you do make the decision to watch, be prepared to eat your words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although, the second response provides a much more interesting set of comments about Howard Stern as a judge on America’s Got Talent:

They already interviewed mothers and mature women before going into the AGT tapings on their opinions of Howard Stern. Then they interviewed them again after the show was over.The opinions went from "he’s disgusting, obnoxious, and vile" to them being completely proven wrong to the point where they admit they now find him "charming, sensitive, and inspiring to the acts".Prepare to be proven wrong Moms of America. Howard is not who you think he is and here is his chance

Of course, the real truth is that Howard Stern is a great actor. He plays up to whatever audience he is in front of. When he does his radio show he’s disgusting, arrogant, obnoxious, vile, etc because that’s the caricature that he’s created for himself. On America’s Got Talent he knows that it’s more of a family show and so he plays the part of a judge on a talent show on NBC.

With that said, I’m sure those who don’t like Howard Stern aren’t going to change their ways and I think America’s Got Talent will lose quite a few viewers with him as judge.

America’s Got Talent 2012 – Howard Stern Arrives on May 14th

We posted previously that the America’s Got Talent 2012 premiere was happening on May 14th. It’s the seventh season of America’s Got Talent. That’s right, 7 seasons of some amazing talent.

The big America’s Got Talent buzz this year has been and will be around Howard Stern as an America’s Got Talent judge. People’s reaction to him as judge have already been pouring in. Many have claimed that they won’t be watching AGT with Howard Stern on the show. They usually make the argument that it’s a family show and that Howard Stern represents quite the opposite.

Needless to say we’re going to be hearing a lot more from these people as the show airs. Others say that Howard Stern might be more like Jerry Springer who people loved on America’s Got Talent. We’ll see how it plays out.

Considering this reaction to Howard, I am a bit surprised that the promoters of America’s Got Talent are using Howard so much. For example, here’s a video talking about Howard and showing a preview of America’s Got Talent season 7:

America’s Got Talent 2012 Premiere – May 14th

Hollywood Reporter posted about the premiere dates for America’s Got Talent 2012.

America’s Got Talent — with its new judge, shock jock Howard Stern — will premiere the week after with two-hour episodes Monday and Tuesday, May 14 and 15. It will return to its regular one-hour slot on Mondays and Tuesdays the following week.

Many have been complaining on this site and on Twitter about their choice of Howard Stern as the new America’s Got Talent judge. I’m sure that more and more complaints will come in since many of them probably haven’t even yet heard that Howard Stern is the new judge.

I think it’s a smart move by NBC to put America’s Got Talent in the same time slot as The Voice. It likely has a similar viewership. We’ll see how Howard Stern and the move to New York effects the ratings.
