It seems like every year I get pulled into watching this show with my wife. And every year I wonder why the show has that name. The judges aren't from the US and neither are a lot of the acts. None of this really bothers me too much as much as the final episodes. You see some really incredible acts go thru to the final only to have a turd bucket sitting there with them. I think the show should be renamed to:

America Cannot Judge Talent!

Never have cared for this show... mainly due to the judges and how stupid they act.

Try this one! It's old, poor video quality, but possibly an alltime favourite from Holland.

There's always one jaw dropper every year. Probably the only reason I let the women pull me back to this show.

I never watch these shows on TV, way too many commercials! I'll always pick some favourites from TV stations' youtube channels. What comes worse, audio quality in German cable TV is just awful, even youtube is better.

Not to brag, but this is pretty much what I sound like when I shower. :redgrin:
