That's what pvrs are for. I watch it with my wife too, but never live. fast forwad button gets good use and reduces the show from 2 hours to 20 or max 30 minutes. We always make fun of them while fast forwarding, yeah yeah your cat died of cancer and you quit you job to be on the show because you need the money to give your mother a sex change operation, just go. Which is why Puddles was great, making his own sob story which was actually more entertaining than him singing royals.

The show also has an obsession with kids and the elederly. At least the grannies never make it far, dancing kids ugh. Plus those at the table magic card acts, really what's the point. Plus they are always easy to figure out if you simply think them through backwards. The worst was the magic 'guessing' of the iPhone unlock code. The fuck, a 5 year old can write an app that looks like an unlock screen and accepts any second input.

For some reason a lot of people I talked to couldn't realize the mistake I pointed out. The unlock transition was literally the biggest red flag to show it was all a joke. Card tricks aren't godly, but they're better than ones which are ridiculously easy to understand.

 

Also, Puddles sang Royals before. It was actually pretty good.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmCJEehYtU

The issue is that they clearly tried too hard to overproduce it. Also, I have seen people say they dropped the mic which interrupted his singing. See the top comment of his live performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqlErxS43Vw 

In my opinion, a perfect song for the live shows would've been Space oddity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydhE7wThDtI 

 

Anyway, I guess I can't complain. Personally, i'd like to see Preacher Lawson or the ventriloquist win. Preacher is a memorable comedian who may not be george Carlin level, but his energy makes me appreciate him (along with him not needing to rely on dark humour). The ventriloquist is also amazing and one of the few moments I enjoy seeing singers.

Also, fuck heidi. What a dumbass host. Telling Puddles to be happy? The fuck? For Christ's sake how stupid can a person be

We couldn't understand much of what Lawson was saying which ruins standup comedy. We have two kids talking through the show, doesn't work with a fast talking comedian.

Wasn't Heidi the one that asked Puddles the first time what his daytime job was or something? She's a real air head. The show was better with Nick Cannon hosting and Howard Stern and Sharon Osbourne on the panel.

Tapeface is my favorite thing to come out of AGT.

He's such a strange act, but he somehow became one of my favorites too. A shame he lost to a singer :/

 

 

He didn't lose, Vegas did.

I decided to search his name to see what he's up to, and apparently he's performing in Minnesota. Definitely happy I looked online. Tickets are also $30-50, so it won't break the bank.

 

Suppose he's doing well if he can have popular shows around the country sell well and surprisingly high prices for a mime show. Even without Vegas, I'm glad he's living his dream
