I'm not gonna go as far as saying they're the worst shows I can think of, but they are certainly one of my most hated. The ones where a couple of celebrities judge them

They have like four other shows.

These shows always end up like half stacked with sob-story singers and the people with interesting acts get shafted.

Any excuse to get magic on tv is a good excuse. Penn and teller fool us is one of the few broadcast shows I watch. When *country* got talent magic act pops up on my YouTube feed I'll click it.

I feel like American Idol has a lot to do with how shitty radio music is nowdays.

singing is overused as a 'talent' at least for talent tv shows

As opposed to what? Juggling? Dancing? Smashing watermelons with your ankles?

I agree with you, though.

As much as sometimes the singers are very talented, they should go on the countless other singing focused shows.

They should

1. Ban singing acts

2. Ban foreigners

Show is called America's Got Talent. I don't know why non Americans are allowed to compete. I never understood. Practically every nation has its own Got Talent show now. I doubt Americans are ever on those shows

If they want a true international show, make a spinoff called World's Got Talent and show it in every nation and anyone can compete

I hate the troupe where someone weird or unique walks on stage and the judges and audience start to smirk like this old lady cant sing then she does and they act all shocked. Like no wayyyy.

Bad to decent singers
Dumb Magic act
Some kind of stupid death defying act that makes the judges cringe.
Dancers

rinse, repeat. Every show.

I hear some of the younger people at one of my jobs singing to song, and I swear I hear them singing as if they were good, rather than singing well. It's very American Idolish.

I hate them because singers always win.

Singers had American Idol, X Factor and The Voice. When I tune in to a show about a variety of talents, I want to see more than just the same basic white girl ukelele singer going "wse men sa, only fls raush in"

Like Christ, "[X]'s Got Talent" can be a freakshow. Let it be a fucking freak show.

I'm off and on with them, but honestly sometimes when you get to see shit like this, it's a payoff. I posted this in another topic, it was awesome.

Even if any of those win the grand finale, how do you market those winners into something profitable? That's why choosing a singer is begrudgingly the 'safest' choice.

1. No extra gear to haul.
2. Easier to distribute a cut for everyone instead of a full BBoy dance crew.
