I don't really see the value of Mel B or Heidi Klum, but I'll still watch because of Stern and Mandel.

Wow, it looks like Howard personally did the photoshopping of himself in that photo above. Here is an actual screenshot of Howard from last season:

That 10 year old girl that sang / played piano was phenomenal.

He's 59. Is it me or do all the competition shows seem to be more focused on the winners this year instead of the losers? It's actually kind of refreshing.

Howard can't even get a common phrase right: (paraphrasing) "It was so quiet in here, you COULDN'T hear a pin drop."??????

I love those silhouette performances, and the three Hawaiian knuckleheads were a complete surprise.

The 10 year old was amazing. The guy from KY that sang Bob Dylan was equally amazing(although his story seemed hokey). The silhouette dancers were pretty cool.
I was just thinking how horribly photoshopped Nick is in that shot. At least the four judges have some semblance of being photographed together. Nick was an afterthought and pasted on "don't forget about me guys!"

I only caught the tail end of this episode, but I thought the new judges were awful. It's weird there are four to begin with, but why Klum and a spice girl who I don't think has been relevent in 20 years, if she ever was? They aren't funny or charming. Howie and Howard had great report with Sharon, and even though Sharon was kind of boring, she added a maternal feeling to the panel that is missing.
I cringed at all the girl power stuff. I think this will detract from the season, but maybe it will get better as it goes on.

I was re-watching Catapult's performance on Youtube on AGT's channel:

It appears they edited out about half of the performance, but left all of the interview sections in.

Thought the same damn thing and was actually was waiting for at least one judge to say something about it, but they were clueless. It bothered me enough, that it distracted from the performance, and I didn't find it enjoyable at all.

So Sebastian de la Cruz sang the National Anthem the other night at the Spurs/Heat game:
Meanwhile on the net, the racist feedback from a bunch of clueless assholes.
