Okay, I'm back in since I am a glutton for punishment...and there is so little else to watch over the summer. Timer set.

 

[lparsons21]

I'd rather watch paint dry! As with last summer, I'm taking a pass and won't be watching 'Watch our Judges a lot' show!!

 

[mike123abc]

I watch less every year. Last season I only watched the final 2 shows.... Maybe I will just read who won here this year...

 

[dfergie]

I'm in ...

If the judges can be paid 7 million dollars then so too can the winner...and not amortized over 30-years. Really! The million dollar prize is a joke!!

Did you know that I have some slight psychic ability? :shocked

....I'm getting a vision, YES, YES! I think I have it..... a SINGER will win 1st place!


lol

Fame is far more valuable to the performers than the million. The million is a gimmick for the home viewers to think there is a big prize at stake!

 

[riffjim4069]

But it was a million dollar purse 9-years ago, with one-third of the audience, and one-third the number of episodes. C'est la vie!

Season 9 kicks-off this evening with a 2-hour show...

Season 9 kicks-off this evening with a 2-hour show...

Well that leaves about 30 minutes for the talent part and 90 minutes of judge antics and commercials...

 

[teachsac]

Yep. I'll watch it tomorrow off the DVR in about 30-40 minutes or so.

A couple of good acts for me, but as a whole it was meh.

Yep, a few acts and a whole lotta, "Whatever."

 

[TNGTony]

Meh! Boiled down to 25 minutes of watchable stuff. Nothing special yet. Not even the kid that kicked it off... The piano playing was good, but full of technical errors (due to speed) that would get him thrown off the world piano competition in the first round.

 

[mike123abc]

I sped through most of it. I will probably wait until farther down the competition to watch again.

I really like Blue Journey. If that's what they do in 4 days, I'd love to see what they can do between the tryouts and the live show. That 93 year old is in better shape than I am right now.

They were one of the few I actually enjoyed as well.

I loved the contemporary dance in front of the screen rather than in back of it.

Okay... the opening group tonight was NOT like "The Partridge Family." Osmonds? Yes. Jacksons? Yes. Partridges? NO!
The Partridge Family was a TV show. It was fiction where the youngest sibling mysteriously morphed into a different person the second season. The Partridge Family was loosely based on real-life family performers The Cowsills. So the opening group was like The Cowsills, or Osmonds, or Jacksons. And, IMHO, they were just this side of okay. I am nearly immune and unimpressed to the "cute kid" factor. One must also have talent.
