<\/a>A Queen For a Day winner.<\/p><\/div>\n
I appreciate the talent, a lot of the humor, and even some of the human interest stories, except for when the show verges on being the modern-day Queen For a Day<\/em>. (In case you\u2019re not a fan of television history, as I am, it\u2019s a show from the \u201950s and \u201960s where the biggest sob story won. Seriously!) In case you haven\u2019t ever noticed the similarity, no one has ever gone on AGT<\/em> and said things like, \u201cMy life is good,\u201d \u201cI was performing my talent somewhere else, anyway,\u201d \u201cI wanted to do it on TV just for fun,\u201d \u201cI make enough of a living doing it already.\u201d Of course not! They make everyone on there say that they\u2019re poverty-stricken, or lost their job, or have a sick relative, etc. [Note: They actually have at least one of each of those stories this season! And it\u2019s not fair because how can voters really choose an act with a good life over, say, the girl whose father is dying, or the poor girl who\u2019s body was burned in a plane crash, where she was the only survivor? I\u2019m a firm believer in fairness, but even I would find it hard to not vote for those two.]<\/p>\n So, to that end, the producers (and contestants) never tell us their exact<\/em> stories, and from what I do<\/em> know, the bios are often not honest ones.<\/p>\n Some of the contestants are even pros! Yet they try to lead us to believe they just do their talent in their bedrooms. Maybe that is the case with some of the singers and comedians, but are we really<\/em> supposed to believe that all the circus<\/em> acts don\u2019t ply their trade professionally??? As Johnny Carson said to me on his Tonight Show<\/em>, when I was a young restaurant critic who didn\u2019t know anything about food–give me a break here!<\/p>\n Just part of the uber-professional dog training and personal appearance website of the big fat liar, Sarah Carson.<\/p><\/div>\n I\u2019ll tell you some of the true tales that I<\/em> know in a minute, but first I have to bust the person who\u2019s lied the most on this show ever, because she\u2019s so annoying. And such a faker. And I really hate dishonesty! (Unless it\u2019s to tell me that no, I don\u2019t look fat!) And I really want to make sure that you don\u2019t vote for her act tonight. Her name is Sarah, and she\u2019s the creepy woman who does an act with her dog, Hero. They\u2019re still on the show only<\/em> because Simon Cowell loves the dog, which is just crazy. He\u2019s put them through all three rounds now, even though his fellow judges didn\u2019t vote the weak act through even after her first audition! He begged them to change their votes, and since he\u2019s their boss, they did.<\/p>\n So, here\u2019s the thing about Sarah: She comes on the show and cries and claims that she and her dogs have to live in her van because her family doesn\u2019t support her dream to be a dog trainer. But guess what? She not only is<\/em> a dog trainer, she\u2019s a top<\/em> one!!! So, her real<\/em> talent is being a big fat liar! And she cries profusely while totally lying to our faces. On top of that fabrication,\u00a0she\u2019s also been a guest on plenty of other television shows! You don\u2019t have to believe me<\/em> on this issue; here\u2019s her site where she brags about it all!: www.thesupercollies.com\/about<\/a>. How insulting is it that she thinks we believe the sob story she puts out?! (And she\u00a0currently lives in a van only<\/em> because she\u00a0drives around the country, performing and training other people’s dogs! That little truth really changes her story now, doesn’t it?)<\/p>\n Billy and Emily in Absinthe, the show they’re been starring in for years!<\/p><\/div>\n Sarah is the worst offender I\u2019ve ever seen on the show, but there are more. Here\u2019s an example of one of the biggest lies they\u2019ve been telling us this season: Billy and Emily, the brother-sister roller skating duo from England, have been pros for years<\/em>. Mr. X and I even saw them a few months ago in the show Absinthe<\/em> at LA Live! And they\u2019ve been starring in the original version in Vegas for years now!!! And not only has Emily appeared on Big Brother<\/em> in their native country, but they\u2019ve also competed on Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>! So we know that at least Simon<\/em> has seen them before, since he\u2019s a judge on that show, too, and<\/em> its producer! Yet, after the sibs first audition on AGT<\/em> this season, he declared, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like it in my life.\u201d Yes you have, Simon! You\u2019ve seen exactly<\/em> something like it before because this very act<\/em> appeared on your other show!!! So, no wonder he likes Sarah\u2014they\u2019re fellow big fat liars!!!<\/p>\n Here are three very quick lies I\u2019ve personally caught America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> in. First up, they never once mentioned that the athletic clown they had on this season, Bello, was the star of the Ringling Bros. circus for years!!! They made like he whipped-up his daredevil acts just for AGT<\/em>! Are viewers so dumb that they don\u2019t realize that the apparatuses he uses are super-professional equipment that cost millions of dollars? And that someone would have to have been working at their craft for decades<\/em> to be able to do what he<\/em> can? Bello is the most prolific circus performer I\u2019ve ever seen, (and remember that\u00a0I<\/em> was in circus,) so why keep that achievement a secret? He even comes complete with a true<\/em> sob story–that the circus has closed shop for good, and now he has to find another outlet for his talent! So why make believe he\u2019s just a family man trying to be a clown?<\/p>\n Bello, (on the left, with the Ringmaster on the right,) in one of the offical promo pix for the Ringling Bros. Circus!<\/p><\/div>\n Secondly, there was a finalist last<\/em> year, Brian Crum, who sang really well. Since he\u2019s gay, they made like he\u2019s a guy who had to sing alone in his room because his family rejected him, and they were amazed by his singing talent. But guess what? I had reviewed him two years before that\u2014when he starred in the touring company of We Will Rock You<\/em> at the Ahmanson Theatre! Why couldn\u2019t they have been honest and tell us that?! (Here\u2019s my review of that musical, in case you\u2019re curious: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/theatre-we-will-rock-you<\/a>.) You know what? There were famous dancers competing on this season\u2019s World of Dance<\/em>, (even on the very same network, and following AGT<\/em> in the schedule,) and the show told the audience exactly what their credits are, which many viewers weren\u2019t aware of because dancers rarely get mainstream fame. It made it more interesting to know who these competitors are. (Of course, I<\/em> already knew, but so many others did not.) Sure, there was the occasional sob story mixed in, but that wasn\u2019t really the focus\u2014their talent<\/em> was. And that\u2019s the way it should<\/em> be. [ Note: By the way\u2014I\u2019m not saying that there’s anything wrong<\/em> with being a pro on AGT<\/em>—everyone<\/em> deserves a chance. \u00a0I’m just saying the show should admit<\/em> it!]<\/p>\n Lastly, years ago, the Gay Men\u2019s Chorus of New York was put through to the second round, but we never heard of them again. Turns out that my friend is in that group, and he said the whole thing was baloney, and that they were told which members could still be in the group as they continued on, and then cancelled them from the next round when they wanted to compete intact<\/em>.<\/p>\n That last tale doesn\u2019t matter to this<\/em> year\u2019s competition, but phonies Sarah and Hero, and Billy and Emily need to be eliminated as soon as possible.<\/p>\n So please remember all this when you\u2019re voting tonight<\/em> because those two acts are due to compete in this<\/em> semi-final. The idiots of America already voted for one big fat liar this year, if you get my drift; let\u2019s not do it ever again, on any level.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AMERICA\u2019S GOT TALENT\u2019S DECEPTIONS I wrote \u201cdeceptions\u201d in the title because I didn\u2019t want to put \u201coutright lies\u201d in big letters. But that\u2019s exactly what this show is guilty of. I have to first let you know that I\u2019m a big fan of America\u2019s Got Talent. I\u2019ve never missed an episode in the entire length<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
