I don't understand how the people that do American Idol can produce a second "talent" show and then have 7 out of 10 of the finalists be singers. None of the finalists in Talent are as good as finalists on Idol, and you have to know that people will make the comparison. Instead, how about everybody that's voting on this show vote for one of the variety acts instead? They are:
- Calypso Tumblers – Great, dynamic act. And although it's basically a bunch of running and jumping, they do it in a way that's exciting to watch. Plus they've got great character and personality, and a good back story. Nice act to support.
- Terry Fator – Ok, this guy is a singer, sort of. He's a ventriloquist who does impersonations of singers. That has to be one of the most unique talents I have ever seen. I'd be happy to see him win it, but I'm not sure that people appreciate the difficulty level.
- Sideswipe – Karate demonstrations are always fun to watch, but as Sharon said, they've got to do something more than just the whole kicky punchy thing to step it up. And bringing out a bunch of little kids really blew it for them, it was too chaotic and silly. It went from hardcore martial arts demonstration to lightweight family fun in a blink.
If a singer has to win it, vote for Cas Haley, the stumpy little guy with the hat. I didn't like his bluesy thing he did, but in general I like his voice best of all of them (thanks for not being country, Cas) and I like his back story, he's always got something inspirational to say about his wife and kids.
